Mega Gardevoir, Vileplume Variants, Meta Predictions, and Team Tips “Right away, this deck is one of the reasons I’m taking this approach today. Last spring saw me come painstakingly — literally, less than a second — from achieving a Top 8 with Gardevoir in Salt Lake City. Sadly, it wasn’t to be, as I tied my way out of contention by the margin of time it took my opponent to move his hand from promoting a new Active to drawing a card, leaving myself with a millisecond-long Turn 0. Nevertheless, the deck was a gutsy meta call then — I knew my chances of beating Night March and Flareon, both significant factors in the format…
9 Different Decks for Spring Regionals “It seems that nowadays, the topic of shuffling comes around more and more in the Pokémon community. This could relate to not shuffling enough, shuffling for too long and wasting time, or just overall bad habits.

As for me, I don’t have a stylish shuffle. I…
Random Thoughts on Randomizing, A Greener View from the Dark Side, and the Final Week “Is there a proper way to shuffle? This has been a question on my mind ever since I started playing the game … wondering if my shuffling caused this terrible dead draw or how my hand ended up so perfect. I could never figure out what was the best process to randomize my deck. If you really want to find the perfect technique, go ahead and do all the numerous statistics and probability problems in order to get to as few dead draws as possible. However, no matter what the outcome is, I am thoroughly convinced you will always have…
