Man, I just wish he could have used his YETI mat!!

Anthony Eason is one of the greatest TCG game players out there. Jaeger, I would put you up there too!

The man has on his resume T4 Pokemon Nats (masters)
T2 Magic Nats
many top finishes including several 1sts at Yugioh major events

And he's one of the NICEST guys you ever want to meet!

Kudos to Anthony, do I get another one of your trophies to go up at Yeti?!?

You rock sir!

[jaws_is_ra]

I might have to come to Yeti someday to meet this guy

Might ask him to join our TCG Team just kidding I am sure he already on a Team of Vince alreayd has Dibs on him

This is great news hopely he will win Worlds we need some one from the USA to winds words after last 2 TCG World Tournaemnts

Yugioh USA got 2nd in TCG and we lost very baddly in the VG

And in Pokemon we made it to the top but did not win any TCG and in VG we only won Senor

So lets hope the USA wins Magic Worlds

Why can't pokemon rock prizes like this?

Why can't pokemon rock prizes like this?

MTG is tailored for adults.

Pokemon TCG is unfortunately tailored for teenagers. Hence the scholarship prizes.
