I've had a situation where one of my prizes didn't have a sleeve (but the rest of my deck did). I've also seen a Pokemon in my opponent's discard pile with damage still on it.

I've pulled 50 packs and not gotten an EX before.

I'm not arguing that they won't do that - They will always try to have a dark on their first Gothitelle while they Deck and Cover repeatedly. What I was sayign is that once they KO one of your pokemon, the lock is broken, meaning you can KO their Gothitelle with the dark on it (which they need...

There's another reason that hasn't been mentioned that really hurts the Accelgor/Mew EX/Gothitelle/Darkrai deck: After they KO one of your guys with Accelgor, you can simply retaliate their Gothitelle for a knockout. Because they need a darkness energy to free retreat their Gothitelle, there's...

Hey, at least Lostgar's pretty good vs Vileplume decks. :p If you play against enough of them at worlds, then hey, who knows?

Going into nationals, I knew I had to do very well in order to get my Worlds invitation. My first year in Masters hadn’t gone totally as planned, and I didn’t have enough championship points to qualify without doing well at Nationals. So understandably I was rather nervous going into the event...

I think the main thing to consider is that even if you ban/punish intentional scooping (which I don't think is right anyway), people can just intentionally play badly if they really want to lose. A rule against intentional scooping is not going to stop anything (not that it's really a problem...

Wait a minute, Mewtwo Ex is good?!?! THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW!!!!!! :) <3 seriously though, of course it's a good card. But I must laugh at how adamant you are in thinking that it's unbeatable, considering it hasn't even come out yet, there is no metagame. And who are you even testing...

Yeah, I hate how uncompetetive regions get an advantage. Kicker points don't compensate for how much arder it is to win a larger event than a small one. Then again, ELO was bad almost for the opposite reason - you got punished for having smaller tournaments. I'm not sure how to make a good system.

Yeah, glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. It's even worse in Australia, where a lot of the time our swiss is best of 3 45 minutes... 60 minutes isn't enough for 3 games, let alone 45!

I really like this idea, the concept of the player choosing the particular penalty is also sort of neat as well.

don't think the deck can necessarily finish three games in 60 minutes and if it goes to time/sudden death, you've pretty much lost. I mean, i'm not sure, I'm just skeptical. It just seems like you're forced to win 2 games in a row, otherwise it just goes to time and you lose. I kind of hope I'm...

Is terrible in best of 3, so it will never be a truly good play for a tournament. I actually think Durant is pretty good in Swiss, it has alright match-ups, that Best of 3 is just a killer though.

You can just tech in a V-create Victini with a few rainbows, as well as a shaymin to power it up instantly. The Shaymin can also be used to switch a lot of energy to Jirachi for mass-devolves, if you run Jirachi as well.

Houndoom's better than Hypno, because a pokemon can be poisoned, confused AND burned at the same time whereas hypno's sleep cancels roserade's confusion.

Yeah, I think this is a problem - not just due to the cost of Tropicla BEach, but also the fact that there's simply a very limited amount of them, and people aren't willing to give them up easily. You can't pull any in booster packs, so getting your hands on them can be difficult. I don't think...

What happened in the no rares games?

can these be uploaded for those who miss the stream?

Yeah, declumping is stupid and shouldn't be legal. If you don't shuffle afterwards, it's basically stacking your deck, and if you DO shuffle your deck afterwards, it's pointless and wastes time.

I think I get what you mean now. Luxchomp did have a lot more "one-sided" games (game-killers, whatever you want to call them) than any other deck. A lot of the games could be over pretty quickly. Still, I feel like whenever the game wasn't one-sided (like a good mirror match) their games were...
