Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Goodbye BeNeLux Cup, welcome European Challenge Cup 2011

I played yesterday and went 6-2 with Gyarados

5x Luxchomp
1x Lostgar
1x Machamp
1x Vilegar

I lost 1 Luxchomp-matchup, because of a donk and lost against Vilegar because of Fainting Spell flips
won my Lostgar matchup, in time (3 vs 1 prize taken). Rest of the matchups I won because of taken 6 prizes.

Decks:
A lot of Luxchomp maybe 50% at the toptables
Vilegar still popular, as was Gyarados. Also some Machamps, Lostgar and Magnezone decks.

Italians were doing good, a lot of them were at the top tables. I've played against 5 nationality's, so it was fun. :)

Wow, congrats for doing that well with Gigas! :biggrin:
Love the deck too^^

Are you planning to post a report or your list?
 
I would've given coverage with help of some of the PAIN members but got shoo'd off the tournament grounds on to the stands. Shame, but oh well.
 
I would still like to see what the deck was like. I always pictured a LostGar deck as a fast set up, not under trainer lock like VileGar. What kind of techs were involved? I don't see how he could've used the Spiritomb from TR if he was relying on starting with the Tomb from AR to lock and set up. And how do you fit Mr. Mime in a deck that already plays 26 pokemon in a standard list?
I hope to see more info on this deck, because that could be real interesting.
Congrats to all those playing, and to all the winners overseas.

I think you're overestimating the importance of Lostgar in the deck of the second place winner... To me it seems like this guy was playing a regular Vilegar-deck along with one copy of Gengar TR. He didn't really tech in anything else to benefit Lostgar - at least that's what i think, seeing as he did so well;)
 
Top4:
LuxChomp
LuxChomp
VileLostGar
Machamp

Steven Mao won with LuxChomp against Andrea Ceolin in Sudden Death.

I'm just going off of what the other posts said. They all said it was a "LostGar with VilePlume". So it's basically a Vilegar deck with one G-Prime in it, and it's considered a Lostgar deck?
That's why I was so intrigued with the build. I'm not a fan of teching in one G-Prime in a VileGar deck. I run VileGar, and didn't like having the lone G-Prime in it. But I guess when we see the list (Hopefully), I may have to try it again.

Thanks for clearing that up.
 
Machamp in T4 is what i find most surprising, considering i was almost certain most players would think it to be a suicide deck w/ VileGar and LostGar running rampant. Props to that that guy. The rest not so surprising, a VileGar/LostGar in T2 had to be expected as both are fairly consistent and have good matchups most of the time and then LuxChomp as 50% of T4 no surprise either. Biggest surprise was either no D-chomp in t4(i at least thought it would be played enough to get there) or machamp doing well.
