Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

3rd place Worlds Report!

Thanks to you (and Adam/Jeremy) for giving us a look, not only at your day, but at the development of the deck. That was fun reading!

I'm as mystified at Prime, but think it will be LOTS of fun to just put it together and play it out to see if we can experience how the consistency/combos can overcome the matchups. Triple congrats for not only the achievement of the day, but for making something actually come of Milotic's Powah.
 
Yeah Pablo, you're not showing off, thanks for posting your report/decklist, it's fun reading it.

And I forgive you that you won from Anna in T32 :p. Already thought you would win when i called Anna before and she said you had a great deck. And she and Type O Negative told me that you're also a really great player. Good job and congrats :thumb:

And I'm glad that Medicham and other alike T2 decks didn't dominate. Yeah go original decks :clap:
 
The awesome thing is that I can read your friend's spanish, Pablo =)

Great job, bro. I wish that I just stuck with TO, 'cause you guys are a great lot. Oh well, oh well, the past is the past, and I expect to see you guys make an outstanding performance yet again :D

EDIT: Just realized that you need a recap of our match. This will be in my report:

Round 2: VS Pablo Meza (Nidoqueen)

When I found out that Pablo, Jeremy, and Plaid, former testing partners of mine, were using a Nidoqueen deck, I was stunned, since I had previously been testing Monarchy for two weeks on the downlow, but dropped it at the last second. Oh well, I don't really setup, but I do get a T1 grind on Pablo. I am one grind away from winning my 2nd game, but unfortunately for me, he has a celio, and although he struggles for a while, he sets up. He takes full command of the game, and I don't misplay the match, but I'm still making rule errors, such as attempting to QS with Pidgeotto in play, or celio with Steven (luckily, we caught it before any deck-searching went on). I'm reduced to Pidgeot swarming as my best hope of strategy, since everything else is OHKO'ed, but he has a 3-2-3 line of the bird, so I'm outmatched! I make it long, but inevitably lose the autoloss 6-3 in prizes (1-1)

God Bless

Awesome job, Pablo. You guys took Nidoqueen farther than me. I gave up on it because it kept losing to Ludicolo and Zapdos of all things. So I added Lanturn, and basically I just couldn't beat everything, so I gave up on the deck. I'll hopefully see you next year. Congrats again!
 
Pablo Pablo Pablo...

Nothing i can say but Congratulations. Once i saw the t8 cut i knew it was you or Jermy thatd win.

Very well Played my friend =)

Sami :thumb:
 
Hey, no lame SuperWooper cracks in this one! ;)

You said it best. "I was wrong at everything." ;p Great job this year, Mudkip. Hopefully next year you will do just as well, and I sincerely mean that. It's really cool to have someone besides the US or JP make the T4. Plus you've already got your invite to next year's Worlds, so we know next year you'll be making another run. GL in your future career.

Well Done

I Really Respect Your Accievement; So Individual Deck Choice. You Are My Heroes

BJJ763 - The Nidoran's and Nidorina's RH's were probably your's =). Thanks!

ChicoBlanco - Yeah, Adam C is teh pwnz0rs of the worldz0rs!

Fireborn - Anna you were awesome, the hardest Ludi matches both days! You definately need to get a trip again, I'm glad we met =).

Joner - Thanks man, you are so awesome too I'm glad we hung out more this year, definately need to hang out next year too, pwn Canada dude!

Gatsu - Thanks! Yeah those 2 decks are really hard, but Nidoqueen was the correct metagame choice those decks although good we're not in the Worlds Metagame, and they're actually both favourable matchups too because Toxic owns both most of the time.

plaid - dude all 3 of us had the same chance, TO for lyfe we are so pwning next year too!

Prime - I'll gladly explain through apprentice games, seriously there's no way you can do Queen justice on paper, every game is so different it's hard to explain, simply it's pure quick beatdown.

Sauron_mx - gracias, de donde eres? yo voy a estar aqui en el DF llendo a casi todos los premieres cerca.

Professor_Chris - those rock ;)

bulbasnore - thanks, im glad you enjoyed my report, and yeah Milotic was my fav pokemon since RS was out so I'm glad it won =P.

PlaF-The Master - thanks! Yeah Anna is a great player and I was mad because I didn't want to face her in Top 32. Original decks rule, I've used original decks twice at Worlds now, and I plan on doing so again next year.

Patriarch - Thanks! yeah the past is in the past man, nice recap of our match, I suck at remembering them =P

Rep13 - ROFL and Thanks, you rule dude seriously, I'm so glad we hung out at Worlds, and definately hop eto see you in Anaheim!

Criminal - Thanks! You too are really cool dude I'm glad we met, Mexicans for lyfe! Cya in Anaheim definately, and yeah dude that eggs.dec was the only auto-loss for this deck, everything else it could take on.

BLiZzArD - NP Ken! lol Thanks dude I appreciate your comments, had a blast with you guys all weekend and specially Monday, grrrr at John for beating me from that poker game, I so had him with AK =P

EricBrooks - Dude I can only say the same thing man seriously, we talked lil over aim before Worlds, but seriously, you gotta get back more seriously into the game and definately win another trip, I know IB's are hard, I'm doing 6 of them all in one year o_O but it's manageable dude, seriously this is too good a game, not hope but BETTER see you in Anaheim next year :)

Pooka - Thanks man, yeah we owe alot to you for Nidoqueen! Great seeing you again. Gotta <3 flying decks =P

amphyrules - Thanks! Sami you rule man, I wish we could've played further down the line, my respects to you dude, and I already added you to my AIM buddy list, we gotta start talking!

SuperWooper - Thanks

Ippe - Thanks! We try :wink:

BTW ALL - Notice my avatar and my Location and Deck? for Deck I've had "Reinita" for quite a while, like 2 months, and guess what "Reinita" mean? Queen aka Nidoqueen, not that anyone would've taken me seriously or as a threat, just LYK guys know my deck was never a secret =P

Felicidades Pablo

Felicidades Ñal

Que bueno que hiciste un buen papel en el mundial ya te lo merecias, lastima que no pasaste a la final pero fuiste el mejor, espero que el proximo año si ganes.

Fuera de dejar a mexico como el tercero fue dejar a Pablo Meza como el tercero DEL MUNDO.

Desde este lado todo anduvimos echandote porras en el prelanzamiento de unseen forces en arlequin y estuvimos checando la cobertura todo el dia.

Rifas "Pañal"

Anyway, now the queen deck I think was the surprise like magma last year, what happened with the "taka-taka" they used to take over worlds.
 
Congratulations man. =) Seriously, reading on how much Worlds meant to different people in different ways, I'm pledging myself to be there next year. I'm gunning for the actual main event... but even not, I'll be there to support and have fun. =)
