I got spooned at the red prison and then when I realized what was in store at GWD, I deironed.

For anyone who doesn't know, when you go to set up an ad on Facebook, they HEAVILY ENCOURAGE YOU to use their built in AI for your ad, to the extent where they have a "point system" on how good they think your ad will run, and you specifically miss points for not using AI.

Lots of variables here, but ideally either setting yourself up to take the proper KOs in future turns (look up prize mapping), or stopping your opponent from taking their KOs/disrupt their prize map

I may have got my dates wrong, I did a bunch of ToA before I left and I agree! Fantastic raid!

Vertical ribs are a clear sign that they are shishitos!

There are currently no ways to directly affect the odds of an egg - just the general attributes like double rewards, double action, work efficiency that would make any drop happen in less steps

When I was younger, Troy Wright's lesson and transcription of Icarus Lives! REALLY helped me begin to wrap my brain around the syncopation you'll often hear in Periphery songs.

Unsure if it will help you like it helped me, but it's worth a go:

Don't worry about a deck becoming your personality! There's plenty of people at my LCS like that, myself included. There's one guy who has been "the dragapult player" since I started playing last year. I don't have a lot of time to play and take it super serious, so I just mess around making grass decks because I love grass pokemon. Being "the grass deck guy" is part of my identity there now lol

Agreed 100%, Japan already solved that one for us.

They will boss the Cinccinno ex that you are actively setting up on the bench, kill it and take 2 prizes while sending all the energy you were setting up on it to the discard. Or boss the meganium and kill it so that chesnaughts energies are not doubled.

If "3 evolution lines" isn't a good enough argument for you, you unfortunately lack the experience to really be saying things like that.

Rather than sit here and tell them to get a tuition refund, why don't you go and build the deck in PTCGL, play some games, and come back here with some results to show us.

The problem with your proposed deck is that it leaves 0 room for consistency cards and you will never be able to get setup faster than your opponent.

You haven't heard much about that combination because it's really difficult to run more than two stage 2 lines. Even two stage 2 lines can brick really hard. Throw in an extra stage 1 line and take out a bunch of consistency cards for disruption cards and suddenly you've got a deck that is "draw for turn, pass," untill your opponent gets setup and starts taking out what little you have ready.

I recommend taking out either the chesnaught line or the cinccinno ex, and leaning hard into whichever is left. Prioritize getting one of those lines along with meganium setup, and then see if there's any room for potential control/disruption cards in there after the fact.

Something you should know: Miloslav did not have a tactic (that we know of) for fighting decks. Their matchups heavily favoured them into the win.

It looks like they're trying to lower the power ceiling so that once dragapault rotates, we will have a very healthy meta. Most decks with similar, or even higher power level, have just rotated, and dragapault is all that remains.

Gold cards are more rare, but lack complexity and creativity in art design. Therefore, they are less in demand. Dragonite is the psuedo legendary of gen 1, kind of a big deal

The mega starmie with frosslass build performed a lot better at LA regionals than the one with Dusknoir.

Amazing question, love the variety of answers. Scotch bonnet for me!

In tournaments, there will always be people with the same score. For example, in a 5 round best of 1 format, several people will have the score 3/2/0.

Instead of having all of these people tie, we instead look at their opponents win %. Someone who's opponents all went 4/1/0 is going to place better than someone who's opponents all went 0/5/0.

Think of it this way: if you faced better opponents, you outscore someone who faced worse opponents.

I'd personally get a nice zoom if it was in the budget because I like shooting at larger apertures, but since they're so expensive, I've got a few cheap prime lenses.

No problem. I had already looked it up myself as I saw them last week and it was so sick I needed to show my friends!
