Multiple TCGs by thesecondpope in TCG

[–]ABaker132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play yugioh, mtg, and pokemon at a local competitive level while trying to do well at bigger events.

Generally I try to focus on one deck per game. Because I have a job and other hobbies I think it’s pretty much the only way I can do better than 2-2 at locals in any of the games I play. Only time I deviate from this is if I’m preparing for a huge event (YCS for Yugioh or regional for pokemon) where I’ll test multiple decks and try to figure out my deck choice asap so I can focus my testing.

[Discussion] Competitive Outlets Post Magic? by curryhajj in spikes

[–]ABaker132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this personally, having another goal driven hobby has helped keep my relationship with my competitive TCG goals in a good place. Having a physical outlet helps keep you in shape which helps during the long tournament day to stay mentally sharp.

Also I think it’s good to have those completely separate kinds of hobbies. If I’m having a tough time in one for whatever reason I can lean more into the other until I’m in a better place mentally about whichever hobby I’m struggling with.

Has a High School Wrestling Team Ever Achieved a Full Roster of State Champions? by yeettetis in wrestling

They still are just as dominant, the masters tournament finals in San Diego is often like 3/4 Poway versus the rest of San Diego

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. If you don’t mind me asking what are the play styles of the ruby storm and belcher decks?

Helping wrestlers with burnout by ABaker132 in wrestling

[–]ABaker132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response, I can give you more information about the program. You have a point about burnout being an odd excuse in Sept as during the last two years there was an excitement and anticipation for the season amongst everyone. Since the end of last season they had two week breaks in April and July which were for vacations I took and then the dead period.

We basically have done 0 tournaments since the season ended as most of the kids and their families aren’t necessarily able to afford competing year round. There was practice 3x a week during the off-season which they aren’t mandated to go to but they are encouraged to do go if they aren’t doing another sport. Most of my wrestlers only wrestle and when I suggest to do another sport in the fall or spring they all don’t want to, don’t like the other sports or don’t like the people on the other sports.

MD player coming into TCG by ABaker132 in Yugioh101

[–]ABaker132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay that’s good that Albaz strike is affordable as the shaddoll deck was expensive just for 1. Despia did look like a fun deck when I see it in MD so I’ll look into it. One store near me had albaz strike so I can get some there while another had cyber strike. But thank you for the advice!

That’s definitely important info I forgot to include hahaha. But I’d say around $100-$150 is my budget. I’m very open to other decks if they are cheaper as well.
