Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

The years BURN ..Part 2...(Flip for burned CHUCK)

John -

My honor and pleasure to watch you play and experience your aura. Having almost met my maker several times, I can understand just how special this was for you.

You and your son are two very special people who carry the Pokémon spirit.

Steve
 
John: Big props and congrats on the great showing in two big tournaments back to back!
Thanks for your patience with my slow play in the Prof Cup.
When you look up the word "class" in the dictionary, there's a big picture of John next to it.
 
Good job John! Great day for you going to worlds and your son getting the grinder option. (He'll top 4) :) I love the Midwest vs. Florida discussion we had at what 3am? *Kevin Benett* Im looking forward to seeing you at worlds. GL. Holla at cha boii
 
John: Words cannot express the joy I felt for you and your family. Just seeing you again in person, after the winter you went thru....I was just glad to put my arms around you my friend. Then, taking 2 3rds, an invite to Worlds, double Wiis (and White Russians LOL)......It was an unbelievable weekend! Have a great time in Hawaii....wish I could be there to see ya take another trophy home to FL. I KNOW you will pull it off. Then, next year.....it will be all icing on the cake bc the invite will be in the bag.

Enjoy some of that scenery in Hawaii.....your body can always use a little more healing. Take care and hope to see ya as soon as it is possible!

3. Flariados

Too many decks just crush this thing now. Infernape OHKOs for a DRE and has free retreat. Metanite resists. Flygon has infinite HP and switch cards. Too hard to donk wins these days.

My family and I'm sure many others wanted to see you with the 1st place trophy, but regardless, AMAZING job this weekend. After sticking with the game through everything that has happened this year, I think you deserve the invite more than anyone.

Oh, and sunday night was GREAT- yankees earing FTL
 
Great job John. You and Steve have proven over the years that you two are the only people that can succesfully play the bug and you earned your trip for sure. Sucks that we only had one hour time in top cut or I may have been in T4 too (T8 at least).
 
Congrats John! It could not have happened to a better guy. Too bad you didn't win, but I'm happy for Chris as well. Worlds is yours for the taking, my friend!
Rick
 
Great job man. It's funny, my dad said something about Flariados...I SHOULD'VE PAID ATTENTION TO IT!!! AAAARGH!
But, seriously, awesome job with the bug. GL at worlds!
 
no Idea on the Bianchi... I'm not at all sure on the POOOOOOOKKKAAAA and haven't ever managed a DOES IT.

to do what you do rather than play- they'd get sick of seeing you both at top cut real quick.
Aloha baby ;)

YOU grindering in . Take care my friend and GOD bless you.

Thanks for all the love guys <3 What makes this such a great game- the good people who play
and run it !

John, what a convention! Congrats on your outstanding Nats AND Prof Cup finishes.

My plan was to go, but work didn't coop. I had a mini-flariados / mini-absolution deck ready, gave it to my kid, but he chose differently. The Flygon-Queen combo crapped out on him. Flariados and Absolution are so much more consistant, even with the flips.

Good luck in HI.
