Congradulations Erik! i was getting updates about you all day yesterday and all day today from Kevin. 2nd place at Nats is such a great accomplishment, good job!

Well considering Sablock has the advantage against Luxchomp early and mid game, and the advantage against every other top-tier deck I'd hope Sablock would win. :|

Here's a nice question.......how did the Professor Cup go?

 

[Sandslash7]

Congrats to all the Winners and Top Cut players, and I'm happy that this season hasn't been dominated by the same deck like two seasons ago. Good Luck at WORLDS!!!



Plus, I think its totally weird to root for a specific deck to win....

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

In this interview, he says he does use Initiative.

I'm looking forward to seeing his list, which apparently included Honchkrow SV.

Congrats to the winners Now i know I'll run LUXCHOMP at WORLDS, so hope to see ya there =D

Hah, I like that Erik was playing with a Great Ball mat and Con was using an Ultra Ball mat... he was destined to win!

luxchomp does take a lot of skill to play.

Its the other decks that don't.

I tried to make a luxchomp and play it but Im awful at it, I just dont know what to do its so complicated, you can do about 100 things.

So it does take skill, but I hate those decks because they aren't fun. Same with sableock, they are all the same. There for getting cheap wins, and thats stupid.

Im just waiting until spiritomb gets more popular and vileplume comes out and stops those decks.

Uhhh ok, then dialga g makes a huge comeback. SP's have an answer to everything dude, hence why SP's are always big.

 

[Ignatious]

The national champion forgot to use Crobat's Flash Bite for the donk in the swiss. This game is now terrible.

 

[JandPDS]

Hochcrow wins Nationals that is awesome. I guess I should not have givien up on that deck after Fall Battle Roads.

 

[Arcanite]

HONCHKROW SV!!!! My FCIF (favorite)

 

[espy87]

[o-ren-itachi]
