Old San Juan is beautiful
Overall I definitely couldve played better, and I probably shouldnt have pivoted to PultZard last minute. But I at least have some information for going into the Houston Regionals Meta.
R7 Hit Kazam, WW, honestly the 1 time my deck actually hit the nuts this tournament, lol.
R8 PultNoir LWL, G1 I got bodied. G2 I played outta my mind to come back from an awkward start, G3 I WHIFFED LUMINOUS FOR GAME AGAIN, THERE WERE 3 IN DECK!!!
R6 Joltik Box, LL. Started Fez Both Games. G1 I went 2nd, saw 0 supporters and 1 buddy. They attached to Mew turn 1 and then crispin to copy cruel arrow to snipe Charmander. Almost came back but whiffed Luminous for game. G2 I forced them to 1 prize and Iono'd to 1, they topdecked prime for game.
R1 Zoroark vs Sebastian Lashmet LL, misplayed game 1, bricked and prized max belt game 2
R2 KangaSol WW
R3 Grimm, used 100% of my brain just to whiff Luminous for game both games LL
R4 Espathra WLL won handedly G1, bricked game 2, threw game 3
R5 Rocket Box WW
This was what I played to the Puerto Rico SPE. I think the list itself was fine but the deck was not the greatest metacall. I ended 3-5 which is my worst major to date.
Pelipper was honestly the best card in the list and most of my losses were prizing pelipper or whiffing luminous.
Matchups below
Hell yeah, I'll see you at the venue tomorrow!
If I put my mind to what?
What should I put my mind to
Arrived in San Juan
I promise you it's actually okay and good to say " I made choices I would not make again because now I understand things differently."
It's a sign of continued political education and a growing commitment and consciousness.
Oh my god, this card is extremely broken. Genuinely might warp the format around it.
Unfortunately this only really benefits dragapult cause they'll simply take a 4 prize turn to win.
Finally a tech that ACTUALLY stops Munki
Whimsicott gx is back guys!!!
This is awesome, it's like Thorton but items.
Metal burning road, LESSGOOOO
I like this as a 1of, meowth allowing us to search cards like this is nice.
I really like Metal Energy Float Stone
Pal pad should be 2nd iono, might try psyduck instead of ehammer.
3-0-2 at a Dragapult infested locals somehow.
Pult W (they bricked)
Bolt W
Kazam W
Pult ID (lost the friendly @SlimeyTCG is insane at this game)
Pult ID (lost the friendly to watchtower Pult, I legit had game on board if they didnt play watchtower ๐ญ)
Enhanced hammer useless
84 Person Riftbound Pre-Rift
CRAZY Turnout
Was chaotic, but I appreciate everyone's patience throughout this event.
Pulls on the left, terapagos is a gold gear token
Went to both Pokemon Locals AND a midnight Pre-Rift for Spiritforged
Top 8'd with DawnZard at Locals and went 2-1 at Pre-Rift with a low to the ground Jax build. Shureiya's Requium was an awesome pull.
Lost a Jax Mirror where I ran outta gas first.
Shout out to the CFL PTCG Girlies. Legitimately every week they consistently Top the tournaments here.
Pokemon is for everyone and they are always killing it.
-1 nest +1 pokepad
Keeps the same ball search count
3-1-1 at Locals with TeraZard
R1 Watchtower Garde L
R2 Pult W
R3 Zoroark W
R4 DawnZard W
R5 Dengo ID (won the friendly)
Deck insane, cant wait for ascended heroes so I can add Pokepad.
Dw too much about that. The judges are generally pretty good about noticing when someone is just trying to shark.
Actually gameplay errors are where penalties Actually happen. Just make sure you're paying attention to the gamestate.
"Oh you only grabbed 3 off of Bellowing Thunder, so you whiff KO"
They clearly hadnt finished grabbing cards yet, they grabbed 3 and were debating on where to take the 4th off from.
Like dude, play the game and stop trying to nickel and dime for penalties.
Some people try to make up for their lack of skill in this game by rulesharking others.
"Oh you set your deck down mid search, that means it's over"
No it doesnt, shuffling ends the turn.
