Hey everyone! Today, we’re going to do something completely different. Your run in any given (Pokémon) TCG tournament is affected by the following factors: 1) Your deck choice (archetype, rogue, techs, card counts, etc) 2) Your luck (opening hands, matchups
Incase you don't know, in Pokemon a 'tech' is a card that might not usually be considered a necessary inclusion in your deck, but one that might help to give you another option in becoming able to win that game. Choosing the right tech for your deck can help to turn bad match ups into good ones, take the opponent
Rayquaza/Emboar, or "Rayboar", has always been like the little brother of Blastoise/Keldeo. It uses a very similar strategy, but has always been overshadowed, never really achieving the success it has probably deserved. I think a large part of that has come from the natural assumption that a Water deck will have a type
November 8th, everything changed. I experienced this firsthand last Sunday at a Regional Championship in Gent, where I finished with a disappointing Swiss record. It was a little sad considering I just came off a win under the old rules, but I learned a lot
Unless you've only started playing Pokemon this season, you'll know all about Gothitelle/Accelgor, and how irritating it can be to play against.

Two Regionals were held in France over last weekend, with players travelling from all around Europe to attend them. What's special about them is that they're some of the first major tournaments to use the new rules and Legendary Treasures set, which both became legal just a few days ago
In this article, I first look at two of the breakout decks of Fall Regionals, Victini/Terrakion/Drifblim and Virizion/Mewtwo. Then, I talk about the November 8th rule changes plus the release of Legendary Treasures, and what both might mean for the
Even though Legendary Treasures didn't introduce too many playable cards to the format (aside from Crushing Hammer and Energy Switch), the impact of the new rules should have a big impact on how decks should be built. With the change to Pokemon Catcher, you might decide to not play any copies in
The last three weeks of Regionals have shown how much creativity there is when deck building in our current format, and week three brought another deck to the table which is capable of taking down some of the top decks out there. Despite not many people playing the deck, Victini/Terrakion/Drifblim won in Houston
A deck which has surprised a lot of people throughout Regionals is Virizion/Mewtwo, mostly because it's a deck which most players hadn't even considered until a couple of weeks ago! I find that kind of funny because it uses such a simple strategy, with two EX Pokemon that everyone will be familiar with
Hey guys! Today’s article is going to be focused on evaluating the first two weeks of Fall Regionals, and trying to apply this knowledge to give you a successful third week. I will also be spending a (relatively small) amount of time discussing the effects
There are a lot of problems you might have with our format at the moment, but a lack of variety when choosing a competitive deck shouldn't be one of them. Most people believed that there would be four major decks going into Regionals (Darkrai/Garbodor
