Players Cup Positivity and a Cluster of Cool Concepts, Including Zacian/Galarian Perrserker, Cryogonal/Absol, Cryogonal/Cradily, Archeops, and Meganium Box “At first glance this deck seems really weird. However, it’s probably the most “meta” deck that I’ll be talking about today. The theory here is that I can 1HKO literally any Pokemon in the game with Zacian V. The deck caps at 340 damage, but in reality you’re probably not ever going to need to hit that. 320 is much more realistic and is conveniently enough to 1HKO Dragapult VMAX. The thing I really like about this deck is that you can play it in so many different ways. I think that it has favorable matchups against every other Zacian…
Primal Groudon in Dallas, Bans in Expanded, and Swampert in Standard (Pre-Team Up) “I’m trying to think of another deck that has had such longevity in the field of viability, and I’m drawing a blank. There have been no Regionals since the initial rise of Primal Groudon that I feel the deck has been utterly unplayable. Dallas was no exception to this. We saw a few vastly different takes on the deck this past weekend, all of them viable in their own right. My build was built more as an attacking–mill-style deck, whereas the others we saw focused more on healing their Groudon rather than alternate attackers. Hours of testing with my friend,…
A Look Back at the Radical and Still Not Yet Fully Explored 2004 EX–HL Format “As I’m writing this, I’m slowly realizing that this was 12 years ago and how far I’ve come in those years, both inside the game and outside of it. At the time I was only 14 years old and knew almost nothing about the game. I had played when the game first came out, but the fad had faded and it had been years since I had really played the game. However, my younger brother who was eight years younger than me would still play. One day he asked me if I wanted to go to a Pokemon tournament with…
2014 US Nationals Deck Options for Varying Levels of Readiness “Blast from the Past: “Scythe” A Quick Word on the Format If You’re Prepared If You’re… Kinda Prepared If You’re Not Prepared At All Conclusion For today’s Blast from the Past, I share with you a hidden artifact of a format past: my brother’s ’06-’07 “Scythe” deck! First, though, a little bit of backstory. The ’05-’06 season was the first time my brother and I played the Pokemon TCG competitively. After winning two Gym Challenges, placing 3rd at the Southeast Regionals, and getting top 32 and top 16 at Worlds, it would stand to reason that we would continue this…
