Magenboar wont win it is too slow and clunky to be consistant enough to win a tournament of this size.

Jeff I have to disagree...whether you like it or not, it IS probably the BDIF atm. Clunky or not, it's well rounded and the good lists are pretty fast...

zach l is 4-2 atm i think, playing round 7

NOTE: some records updated already

Care to update with/find out a list of core deck components for each person?

Fantastic job btw - thanks for giving us a really prompt update on players' names.
 
I'd say just relax and give them some time to find out what the top 16 people are playing etc. I'm sure they're going to update us (they already have been!), we just gotta be patient.
 
Reed M -Yanmega/Kingdra
Alaric M-Ambipom/weavile rogue/lockdown
Zach L -Magneboar

all i know atm cuz standings were up for 5 min and i didnt get names, but some got pictures of the standings
 
I just heard that Andrew V., the Western Canadian Regional Champion and the
Undefeated Alberta Provincial Champion has made it in Top Cut for Master's.

I think he was playing Yanmega/Magnezone.
 
"A" for effort, man - good work. Hopefully we know every gory detail from the players as soon as it's over.

Then why does Ryan's deck run cricles around it at League? If players in Canada are doing well with it then I take my hat off to them, but that does not change the fact that there are better faster decks out there being played.

Why do you always say obvious Tier 1 Decks are bad. First Vilegar then Magneboar. Just because there are counters doesn't mean that it's not good.

Pretty sure that's all right. Going off what I heard from a contact in seniors.

Quite possibly because your magneboar is using the wrong engine to get set up. I had to try a few different lists before I found one that had T2-T3 Zone as often as needed.
