Attach T1. Attach xp share to another to guard against the first one being knocked out. Then attach T2 and attack. I played against this deck at locals this week. I'm not saying it's good. I'm saying that my opponent had ways of getting around the energy cost

Rotom ex allows you to attach 2 tools so you can double counter gain to attack for free or xp share and counter gain or double xp share for that matter. I don't think energy cost is the problem its more that damage output goes down as the game goes on

So basically have your board full of bad Pokémon, take a single KO on a mega and win the game with a 6 prize turn? That's so dumb.

Well that replaces all the great balls and dusk balls in my alakazam deck:)

I trapped a basic toed and a regi I think. Neither of which should have been played by my opp when he did imho. A charmed yveltal can survive a hit and be picked up by penny etc. ogerpon nuking kanga is still a big investment and I got loads of energy off the board with a response ko.

I wasn't saying you didn't know the matchup, I was asking if your opponent did. I'm no expert on the pairing, I just played against it with a friend. I lost the first one pretty quickly then adapted my strategy and won the next games. Maybe they were outliers, but still, it felt winnable to me

Sounds more like your absol opponent didn't know how to adapt to play against you. I found this match up okay as an absol player okay if you can clutch for long enough to set up damage and get a couple of kanga ready to finish everything off. It's a tough matchup for sure but I never felt farmed!

today i turned 32. i've been in a bad place for a while now, mentally and financially, and although twinleaf has been playable iykyk, i never announced it. i wanted it to be perfect, and a big moment when releasing it. fuck it.

twinleaf out now. play.twinleaf.gg

We welcome your shiny cardboard posts here!

Some decks like having things in the discard. Ceruledge wants energy there, ancient box wants ancient cards there. Othe decks just like "thin" decks when they are set up. This card could see play (but probably won't)

Yup. Last one - Pulled a single cram? Congrats, you win the prerelease! This one - you got the Ethan's kit? Congrats you win the prerelease. It had so much consistency compared to the others. I'm guessing they don't bother testing them against each other

Destined Rivals. Bah

The Destinies Rivals prerelease kits are incredibly unbalanced and not fun at all if you get the bad ones (I did), but I pulled a full art Rocket's Mewtwo, so there's that I guess!

Jamie is awesome and does so much for the community. A much deserved award. Well done Jamie

I loved ori and no rest looks interesting but I just don't buy games in early access because by definition they aren't finished.

My last cup was 30% joltik with 2 other players saying they almost brought it as well. Bolt won the event 😂

I'll be very happy if it drives away all those joltik decks!

Interesting meta. So much diversity!

Mmm-bop by Hanson. I lived in a shared house when that came out and my house "mate" had it on repeat for weeks. Bloody hate that song!

Same opponent. Not same opposite 😂

R1 bolt ww
R2 miraidon ww
R3 dragapult ww
R4 poison box ID
T4 dragapult (same opposite as R3) ww
Finals regidrago ww

Won a Trading Card Game classic box at a local Pokémon Day unofficial tournament. Decided to switch things up and ran Archaludon winning every round except R4 which I ID'd to guarantee top cut. Feels good to win an event again :)

3 prizers again. Sigh. At least they aren't basics I guess. Yet!

My Sonos 1's have been failing updates for years - ever since they got rid of that bridge thingy. They still kind of work so I still use them, but would definitely never buy again

Matchups were:
R1 lugia lww
R2 archaludon ww
R3 Garde wlt
R4 pult ll
R5 pult thorns lwl
R6 moon wll
R7 pult zard ll
R8 Garde wlt
R9 pult zard ww

Started off well at 2-0-1 at euic then hit a horrible 4 match losing streak. Ended up a disappointing 3-4-2. Ceruledge had tested well for me online and at local events but just didn't work today. Shame really.

🎉 We're excited to announce Online Drops will be available for #PlayPokemon #PokemonEUIC!
TCG Masters will be able to drop from their Tournament Dashboard on their mobile device, instead of filling out a drop sticker at the Hive.

@fanfinity.bsky.social Paying for a regional would give a ticket that allowed you to play in the cup the next day. Now the ticket gets you a pick-a-pack and the cup is £30+. I would like to stay longer at your events and compete some more if I don't make day 2, but this is frankly a rip off
