"Michael D. wins 2-0 to become the 2010 senior national champion.!"
Anyone know the deck he played?

Sorry, but I had to edit the name due to pokegym rules. P_A.
Since when does Luxchomp require skill?
Sablelock without initiative? Isn't that the point of the deck???
This kind of comment really pees me off.
Please explain how Luxchomp takes less skill to play well than other decks.
Just because you can get a mediocre list for it online, and just because it is a popular deck does NOT mean it takes no skill.
I assume that anyone making comments like these either . . .
a) has won a major tournament with it with no real effort and can prove their point
or
b) gets owned by Luxchomp on a regular basis and doesn't really want to accept that the Luxchomp players are better than them.
Oh, and congrats to all the US Nats winners and the people who made cut. Regardless of what deck you played, your achievement took skill.

Though it took me until the tail end of teh season to recognize it, Luxchomp IS a good deck. Hella people net deck it but I've said it once and will agree 100% that it takes a good player and practice to make the deck actually WIN.
Thanks for admitting it. I have seen people with a quote "similar" endquote list and then went 0-3 drop whereas I went 9-2. It is a deck that can take a free win easily but, when you play versus anything good, you have to think a lot!!!
Who the heck started the whole Erik won nats rampage with donk g1, donk g2, donk g3. I really thought he won and it wasn't very funny.
Congrats to Con and Erik.
Ok Baby Mario, take a chill pill there bud. No need to implode over someone else's opinion. Let's get back to the Nat's coverage.
From my experience sampling it, it's not fun to play at all. It easily beats other decks even when I make obvious mistakes. A netdecked Luxchomp can likely beat many experienced players. As for getting "owned" by Luxchomp, I do usually lose to Luxchomp seeing as I play Kingdra. But in my experiences where I'm not donked, I have beaten Luxchomp. I think there are decks that are harder to play well and actually demand practice, and I would have liked to have seen those win. And Luxchomp players being all better than me is ridiculous, since victory with Luxchomp tends to be because of the deck rather than the player. Of course there are exceptions and people who practice and tweak Luxchomp constantly. I am just experssing my views that from my experience, other decks are funner to play and play against as well as demand more skill, and I would've rather have seen something like that win. If you disagree, so be it.
