Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Live from US Nationals

It seems like Empoleon/Marowak players were ready to break the metagame but has had a lot of misfortune in pairings facing decks they were not expecting (Lighting weakness seems to be a problem).

I'm very interesting in knowing the list....i would have played it with 2xAbsol Ex + 2xGiant Stump to make the Spread Damage thing faster.
 
WOW, great job all you Florida players! We have at least two in each division with an invite...AWESOME!!

Sorry to leave you off the earlier post Jim...I totally missed James R. because I was looking for Jim R....lol.

Good luck to all of you at Worlds...Daniel, Bobby, Grafton, Garrett, Eric, John, and (did I forget someone again? I hope not...but if I did, please forgive me). Wish we were going with you!
 
Just got back home, and I met a lot of people and here's what I gotta say about them:

JohnnyBlaze: Didn't meet him personally, but I saw him around. He kicked butt in the professor cup and seemed to be a cool person.

Feraligatr: Jeff works so hard. I didn't see him rest a single minute from Thursday to Sunday. This guy and all the staff at Nationals need a round of applause. *claps*

Bulbasnore: Finally, I can match the name to the face. Cool guy, too bad we didn't get to talk more.

Twitchy: YOU GOT SHOT!!! j/k It was good to see you were walking around on Saturday. You were funny as usual.

Spazcrackers: He seemed to be doing fine. I hope he was able to make some cash for some older cards. Gotta have $$$

Benlugia: Keep moving...lol ;)

Pokemom: Nice, but like most judges, swamped with work throughout the entire event.
