This format is a lot of fun. Anyone who says otherwise has sour grapes and needs to get over it and enjoy the game.
Wow okay really contributed there buddy.

Bulbasnore you absolutely confused me, could you go more in depth about what youre talking about?

And what exactly is this whole thread contributing in the first place? It's just a big tl;dr gripe. You don't even know what the point of this thread is; you said so at the end of your first post. I'm sorry you have had bad beats this season but that doesn't make the format bad.
What that means is I dont know what i am hoping to accomplish with this thread. I really dont see how the format could change. Your counterpoint to my original post is that this format is fun. What does that have to do with anything that I was talking about? I guess if you like luck-based formats then it would be fun but thats your business and has no reason to be stated here. And yes I have sour grapes but why wouldnt I?
Just out of curiosity, what deck did you run at regionals?
As previously stated I ran Plox. Me and James Flint ran the same deck and he got 3rd with it. It had nothing to do with him being more skilled with the deck he just managed to avoid the 3rd donk to top cut. He lost to some difficult rogue in top 4.
So all of this is because you didn't make top cut with a deck exactly the same as your friend who did?
Honestly it's just tough luck.
You didn't get 2 basics in your opening hand/ first draw. That's no ones fault. Not a deck, opponent, or yours. Also having weakness to psychic +10, ralts, means you could of been donked by a plt shuppet with one energy and a plus power.
Wow will you take a different point of view for a moment please. Yes its true I would never have posted this had I not been donked but the point is this could happen to anybody and it shouldnt. Nobody should ever have to be out of a tournament because of that, especially after all the playtesting i put into regionals. A player should have to have their skill, creativity, and stamina tested in a tournament. I didnt even get the chance to show how well I satisfy those needs. There was never a year where I could go this well prepared into a tournament just to go down without a fight.

Can you be so sure it was purely a 'skill' deck that won, and not just the luckiest player of that day? I wasn't there of course, but there is that possibility.I'm skeptical about two things:
1) Luck based format
My counter case is LB regional where a 'skill' deck took the 158 player masters field filled with all the so-called 'luck' decks.
