ERNU - Finland's Secret deck to the Worlds 2010

With this deck, Finns have introduced a new concept of Pokémon TCG playstyle that will revolutionize the gameplay - touchpoint strategy.

It really doesn't matter what deck your opponent plays. Counters are thrown out of nowhere and you can't see them coming even in Best-of-three matches. You just can't study the deck enough - it will still catch you with your pants down and proceed with the all-out attack.

Unlike regular deck which has propably one or two touchpoints to your opponent, this deck has them all. It's like a huge grip surrounding the opponent, making him or her afraid to proceed with his or her next move.

Touchpoint strategy is a high-level playstyle in games like Go and Shôgi, usually seen by mind-gaming oriented pro players. Having only recently arrived to card games, it can go unnoticed as long as the counter strategy is to be developed. This can, depending on the creative minds and resources allocated, take decades.

I'm seriously hoping Finns will not unleash this deck/strategy at Worlds. Having won basically everything there is to win in Winland, this could at worst traumatize some of the more inexperienced players parcitipating Worlds tournament, probably leaving them unable to play for ages. We have seen best of three mirror matches in tournament finals here in Finland with this deck, lasting for over 9 hours and resulting a tie due to mental fatigue of both players, thinking hundreds of turns ahead and reading opponent's moves.

Of course I'm kidding.
 
It's nice to have such a fantasy Tomi, but I think that your fantasy took you too far away this time:tongue:

You should take a rest from all the harsh finnish testing for worlds (It must be awfull to be a finnish player, harsh training camps etc, that's how they produce world champs), or you should drink less alcohol:wink:

Of course I'm joking as well.

And for the video, I think the best to say is: a beer from me for every finnish player who will play this at worlds:tongue:

This isn't the first time these sort of threads have happened, and I remember a few from the USA as well :rolleyes:

I don't find these threads in any way good, but loads of different country's players have done these.

Greg Ridewood has already done the singleton deck and beaten some (one) of the top players in the game (Omar)

he nearly top cut with it as well, at 5-3. Because of a donk and one unplayable hand.

you guys may laugh at it now, but just wait come August...

Legendary post right there. My jaw dropped a little bit and a little bit more until I reached the end.

Well. It exist. In fact, finnish has won TCG World championship. Two times. And about that deck is really kinda tough... I have seen it.

You, sir, have been sig'd.

No, the deck is not tough. The deck is a joke. It just took one of a few meta cards and one of a few non meta cards and one of a few trainers and put them in a deck. Oh, and it's all reverse.

Unoriginal joke, but it still made me giggle.
