The Quiet Days and Second Wind of My Pokémon Career, Including the Most Unbalanced Decks I’ve Played, from 2013–2014 to Now “Ah, where were we? After 2013 Worlds, BLW, EPO, NVI, and DRV were rotated. Since the early Black & White sets started off slow, and because power creep really ramped up started at NXD, very few important cards were lost to this rotation. In addition, several of the powerful cards had already been reprinted: Terrakion got a secret rare in BCR; EPO Item powerhouses Pokemon Catcher and Max Potion got theirs in DEX and PLF; and the staple supporters Professor Juniper and N were spared too. The main exceptions were Eelektrik NVI and Crushing Hammer EPO. Virizion-EX/Genesect-EX PLB was the…
Thunderstruck, Trainers’ Mail Time, and the Ascent of Archie “The Primal Clash format has developed so much since its debut at Florida Regionals, and I think part of it has had to do with Archie’s Ace in the Hole. As Archie’s gained popularity because of Orion Craig’s win at Florida Regionals, people started to realize how good the card was when paired with Empoleon PLF. The draw power is phenomenal, and it allows the player to burn through their deck like crazy since it plays off of the discard pile so much. These “turbo” kinds of decks featuring crazy-high counts of Items grew in popularity which motivated people to want…
A Pokémon Journey with Raichu Post Roaring Skies “We overslept! We have to hurry to Professor Oak’s place to get our first Pokémon. It looks like Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander cards are already gone, so we get a Pikachu! With a Pokémon by our side and the world in the palm of our hand, it’s finally time to set out. Unlike Ash Ketchum, we understand that to win in this world, power is the key. In the immortal words of Lt. Surge, “If you want to become a Pokémon Master, you should make your Pokémon evolve as soon as you catch it.” Time to use this Thunder Stone…
Streaming Through Time and The Top Five Basic-and-Stage 1 Decks of NXD–FLF “Pokémon TCG Live Streaming Through Time The Past The Present The Future The Top Five Basic-and-Stage 1 Decks of NXD-FLF Conclusion The Top Cut // YouTube, Twitch I would like to start this look back by thanking the founding members of The Top Cut: Kyle “Pooka” Sucevich, Michael Pramawat, Josue “Crimz” Rojano, and Drew Holton. As players for years with a true love for the game, they took it into their own hands to solve a major issue facing the TCG: How can we provide more Pokémon TCG coverage to the community? During the summer of 2011, they cemented their plans and…
An Investigation on Preconceived Notions “Fast forward a week or two after the Kansas State Championship and I had the upcoming Kansas City Regional Championship to begin preparing for. Having already bagged my invite alleviated a ton of pressure and allowed for me to prepare for the event in a different way. Had I not had my invite, I honestly think I would have just played Blastoise again and also made plans to attend the events in Wisconsin and Ontario (talk about a load off my wallet). Instead, I knew that I wanted to play something fun and was closely looking at Andrew Wamboldt’s Flygon/Dusknoir/Accelgor…

2014 Brazilian Nationals 8th Place Masters Report “I had two choices: Plasma/Lugia or Virizion/Genesect. Blastoise quickly became the deck to defeat in our country, as it managed to get to several Regional finals around the world and people in our country are very influenced by the worldwide results. With this scenario, a lot of people would choose VirGen, to catcher Blastoise out of play. So did I, feeling confident in my VirGen list: The tournament started a little bit later than expected. It was good to talk with people from all over the country about everything. Round 1 vs. ??? (Plasma/Lugia) I have to admit my heart…
Anger has reignited its atrophied flame sac. This Pokémon spews fire everywhere as it rampages indiscriminately. (Galarian Darmanitan)
