What do you flip for? The list doesn't run Initiative anymore.

When pigs started flying.

 

[vietgamer1021]

both decks take a lot of thinking...

just that sablock has cyrus's initiative

ever wonder how much skill it takes to get this far? lucksacking the whole way is incredibly slim

Is that true? If it is, I apologize!

 

[Hatter™]

Not even going to get into the argument.. but.. you need skill.
It's why the Luxchomp Netdeckers don't do so well.
Just because you play the deck, doesn't mean you know how to PLAY the deck.

 

[Qwachansey]

Obviously. IMO though a lot less skill than other decks I would have preferred to see win.

 

[TheGeneral]

Sablelock without initiative? Isn't that the point of the deck???

 

[vietgamer1021]

a lot of skill is building the deck itself

obviously playing the deck is next

and beating players worse than you is the next step

Regardless of whether the deck is really annoying to play against, breaks every rule in the Pokemon game etc, it is a deck that requires alot of skill to play correctly - especially in the mirror. I don't get why people think it requires no skill to play, especially considering the other metagame decks.

Well, playing the deck is kinda easy, though i agree BUILDING the deck is what takes skill and thinking.

Ummm, since when is life ever "fair"? We can prefer what we like, but skill AND luck AND deck choice wins Nats.

[Jeez]

inb4: Entei&Raikou Legend (hopefully!)

 

[DarkMagnus]

Sable-tech. It only plays 2 Judges. So it doesn't try and lock like that list on the front page.

 

[Amarinimo]

Victor beats Patrick L in game 3 on time to become the junior 2010 Pokemon national champion

 

[nardd]

I'm interested in what Con's deck looked like if you call it Sable-tech. Hmm.

Good job to the top 4!
