im liking top cut, good players a bunch in interesting decks,cant wait to see what happens tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if this is going to have a big impact on US nationals.
 
So much Yanmega / Magnezone... and not a single Emboar???

Sorry... 1 Emboar. In 14th. >_> Still... completely not what was predicted, at all.

Like I said above, woo Yanmega! This kjust goes to show you that the metagame is MUCH more wide open than everyone claims.

Yeah, but the question everyone will have in mind is what is the driving force behind such a huge wash of the same deck rising to the top, unless 50% of the field in general ran that deck and it's just a loaded Top 16 from them all playing against each other....

I've played against Yanmega / Magnezone before and it didn't seem that dominating.... perhaps I was playtesting against the wrong stock list? I don't know. Either way this needs to be taken seriously for people practicing for Nationals next week.
 
Magnezone/Yanmega doesn't sound too bad. Not only does Magnezone provide draw power for an already fast Stage 1 deck, but with the controlled draw you will have an easier time using Yanmega's body.

@Bidier: Sorry for the newb question, but what is the Ugly Cup?
 
Hi! I know all y'all are focused on the Master's, but would you mind please seeing what the top decks in Juniors are? Thanks so much!

Ditto this. Although we're mostly interested in Masters info, it would be much appreciated to have things complete.

yanmeg is going to be like $35 now. And magnezone will be like $50. Crazy.. I love how weavile/ambipom did so well. Probably threw people off alot. Weavile to look @their hand, then remember where the good cards were, and use astonish. Next turn another weavile evo and astonish. Do that as you set something up.. Seems like alot of fun.
