The Alien Beheeyem/Zoroark/Walls for Richmond “A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in a hallway about to take a midterm, and about 15 minutes before it started, this idea just came into my head. Naturally, instead of continuing to study, I started to think about this list, and after a lot of testing, this is where I landed with it. The theory behind this deck is that you use Beheeyem to Item lock, then switch into a wall such as Pyroar or Honchkrow-GX. Then Zoroark provides the incredibly powerful draw engine the deck needs to be able to find Beheeyem pieces every turn. Honchkrow-GX…
Patching Predictions for the BCR-on Format “Empoleon/Miltank Pyroar TDK Virizion/Dragonite Plasma/Lugia Big Basics/Garbodor Conclusion I agree with Andrew that between the loss of Tropical Beach and the sure popularity of Seismitoad, Stage 2 decks will take a big hit. However, I’m not as convinced as he is that they are “unplayable” because of these things rather shoved into the lower ends of tier 1 and the higher ends of tier 2. Empoleon is a deck that will see less play in a BCR-on format than it would have in a PLS-on format. Being a Water type, it counters Landorus-EX well and built-in draw power puts it…
Eleventh-Hour Forging, Missed Opportunity, and the Trail Blazed to DC “The weeks leading up to US Nationals were filled with numerous hours of playtesting, both online and in real life. I had either tested or tested against nearly every deck in the format. My teammate Chris Murray even made a Pyroar/Ninetales deck, which we considered a potential deck choice for quite a while, but eventually dismissed due to consistency issues and some sketchy matchups. The problem my friends and I were finding during all this testing was that we didn’t actually like any deck in the format. I had a gut feeling that I would lean back into my comfort…
Early 2014-2015 Standard Format Deck Discussion “Lessons Learned from Nationals Addressing Extended Format Concerns Donphan/Trevenant Speed Plasma Empoleon/Miltank Pyroar Revisiting Dragonite Revisiting Lucario/Mewtwo Conclusion 1. SixPrizes is a really great place for information. I don’t know if you guys all caught this or not, but the deck that won US Nationals was published on SixPrizes just a few weeks before the tournament. Stephen Lewis wrote an article about the evolution of Big Basics and the deck was originally piloted to an 11th place finish at the UK National Championships by Luke Kirkham. 2. Pyroar is really good… or is it? By far the biggest surprise of the tournament…
Top 8 2014 US Nationals Report with TricRoar “In the weeks leading up to Nationals, I could never really decide on a deck. The closest I came to settling was with Yveltal/Darkrai/Garbodor; I tested that deck extensively. I, like, many other players, really liked the most hyped deck due to its speed, power, and versatility. You could go “steamroll mode” with Yvetal, “lock mode” with Garbodor, Sableye, and Hammers, “reaction mode” with Darkrai, Keldeo, Druddigon, and Bouffalant, or even a mix of the three during one game. However, I eventually decided against Y-Garb because I definitely did not like the prospect of facing mirrors and Raichu all day. After…

Pyroar’s Popularity, Interview with Brandon Salazar, the Clock, and Last-Chance Regionals “Pyroar Interview with Brandon Salazar The Clock Last-Chance Regionals Grinching The Playmat Problem Conclusion First things first: Pyroar. Michael Pramawat has been a force in the game for as long as I can remember and he proved his mettle again this past weekend. Pram piloted his straight Pyroar list all the way to the finals. His list, posted on the Pokémon website along with the other semifinalists’, can be found below: It’s not difficult to understand why this deck works. Set up Pyroar, eliminate anything that can damage it, and then coast to victory. I won’t elaborate too much on why Pyroar’s a…
The Uncertainty of the Post-Flashfire Metagame and a Look Back at Plox and Sablelock “But first, I want to give you guys a look at something else I have been working on. Players love taking a break from the current format. Outside of tournament games, some of my favorite things to do include: playing The Resistance (a great strategic role-playing game, similar to internet Mafia or Werewolf), throwing a Frisbee around outside the venue, and playing games of Pokemon with out-of-format decks. Constructing and playing decks of old is a craze that is becoming increasingly more popular as more resources to build those decks are resurfacing in the community. Being able to relive old…
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…
Taming the Hype Behind Pyroar “Why the Hype? Pyroar/Archeops Pyroar and Friends Pyroar/Ninetales Conclusion Ahh, Pyroar. Such an interesting card that has rustled so many jimmies despite not even being officially released yet. Some people praise it, some despise it. I’ve even heard about some people potentially thinking about quitting the game because this one card will completely change the meta, eliminating all other viable decks besides Pyroar and Garbodor. Now, I don’t think that it will be this game-changing, but I do believe it will have quite the impact on the metagame depending on what people’s perception of it are at the time of…
