Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Live Top Cut Canadian Nationals 2011 -Read post #100 before posting please.

Awesome outcome.

ZPS won. That is suprising. I wasn't it expecting to do well. It gets up fast and hits hard.
I'm guessing it went first alot and avoided Donphans.

Kingdra/Yanmega is a scary deck. The inclusion of Jirachi is smart being that these net-decked Magneboars only run one of each stage 1 deck.

I'm not prepared for Jirachi but i'm expecting to do well at Nats.

Kingdra/Mandibuzz is going to be a scary deck as well.

So what did we learn today?
Speed Wins and Kingdra Prime is a good guy.
 
Yanmega/Magnezone just wasn't expected so it did decent. I don't expect it to do well at US Nationals. I would just stick to MagneBoars and Kingdra Prime

Magenboar shoudl be your 3rd choice on this list I am sure there were more Magenzone/Emboar decks being played this weekend then Kingdra/Yanmege and Magnezone/Yanmega decks combined yet they both did better.
I expect the same next week in Indianapolis.

There were a TON more Yanmega based decks then Magnezone or Emboar ones. I don't really know where you're getting your numbers from

That is true. However, there were not a lot of Yanmega/Kingdra or Yanmega/Zone decks, which is what he was specifically talking about.
 
how does the mew yanmega vileplume muk jumpluff deck work?
i think curtis lyon and juan lorenzo played it

do they send off yanmega muk or jumpluff based on what there playing ?
 
I would like to thank the judging staff for another great event :) Also, Terry for the Ugly Cup and generously giving out trips for 6 to Worlds this year.

As an FYI, there was a lot of Magneboar out there, but it's really not as good as everyone says it is - it's decent, but not the BDIF. As for the Cleffa comment, I only saw 1 deck the whole weekend that didn't run Cleffa. You can't afford to Eek everytime you get disrupted, or you will fall behind on prizes.

You realize you can't Jirachi and Yanmega the same turn, right?

Doesn't matter. Rare candy into said Stage 2 (notably, Emboar), then let Yanmega and Kingdra drop bombs until you KO, bring up Jirachi, possibly take more than one prize.

If Embaor and Mag are UP, I'm KOing whatever your active is, maybe even whatever I want after reversal...
 
WEll, first off GG guys that won it. For all those that is sayin " Well, this,this, and this in Magneboar beats this in Yanmega variants", stop using Theorymon as a arguement, you have been beat with Reality. Not sayin that this will happen at the U.S. Nats, but Yanmega is a threat that should be taken seriously.

ONE Yanmega attack is not putting 60 damage on 2 pokemon. It's gonna take 3/4 turns for you to kill 2 pokemon with yanmega spread then jirachi KO.

1st turn to put 40 on boar + 10 from kingdra
2nd turn to put 40 on magnezone +10 from kingdra
3rd turn to put 10 on boar and THEN you devolve to get 2 prizes.

That's 3 KOs from magnezone. Maybe even RDL getting a KO

regardless, I'm not hyping. Canada just didn't run enough good magneboars

It must feel great to be oblivious.

I think anyone who knows anything about Canadians knows there are some very good players up there and they proved their place on the big stage last year at worlds. To imply that out of a field of their top players, they weren't capable of making a "enough good enough" lists is quite insulting.

The deck's results speak for itself. Taking down an Emboar early kills Magneboar. If you don't hit 2 Emboar and 2 Magnezone T2, it seems like an uphill climb to me. If Emboar is gone, Magnezone seems easy enough to take down and RDL never becomes a threat.
