@thefleeee What is the name of this card?

I’m literally not allowed to play this card because I’ve never won a major tournament 😭😭😭

@d00mwake What’s in the side board!!!!

Well at least the mana is better 🤷🏼‍♂️ If anyone has any experience with these UW aggro/midrange decks and has a nice list I’m interested 👀

@MillThat Welcome to hell

This is In fact the worst timeline

@PokeDuelsTikTok But what if winning IS fun?

hot take, if you take control to sides you're probably an insufferable person. side events are meant to be fun and try out goofy non-meta decks... not a place to steamroll casuals with your meta slop do better

@GingerNinja679 Single prizers for lyfe!

ACE TRAINER 2026 Started playing in December & had an ABSOLUTE BLAST playing the best decks this szn 😎 Thinking about playing the king to indy and Beedrill to NAIC 🐝 🐝🐝 so many fun archetypes to build around & can’t wait to see what pitch black has to offer for worlds!

@PokeDuelsTikTok Let me par take in the coin flips so I can feel good at the game while banking everything I have on a 50/50

saw this list in a Top 8 isn't crushing hammers pointless bc bolt is taking KO every turn??

Won my first League Cup of the season with Festival Lead! The deck feels insanely strong right now. Not surprised to see it doing so well in Prague! It feels like the deck only loses to bricks and Pultnoir

Pult is bad I eat glue Crustle is the hero of the format dude. #pokemontcg

I’ve coined bonus for the last time 😢#pokemontcg

@TordReklev My final good bye

Didnt get there in the end, but had a lot of fun Final sendoff for the standard format 🫡

@SamuelHBlack what do you think the average cEDH player’s win % is? Is it sub 15%? #mtg

@MashLegs @SamuelHBlack It’s hard to justify $20-$25 drafts weekly. Also burnout on a set happens much faster.

@SamuelHBlack My experience echoes yours exactly and I think when Madison, WI isn't firing paper drafts anymore, that is really telling. The last draft we did in La Crosse, my buddy and I were the only 2/8 who knew what draft even was.

I’m comfortable spending money on cards. I own almost every card I’d want to play in old school, premodern, and cEDH. The rate of change is prohibitive to *me* entering standard. I wouldn’t play a ton of events, so I’d basically need to buy an entire new deck every event. Pass.

Standard isn’t built for paper play anymore — it’s built for Arena. That’s why 6–7 sets a year is the norm. Paper reality? Commander runs the room. Most LGSs push it because that’s what fires. Not even a Commander guy, but it’s tough to justify $20–$25 drafts weekly when they were $10–$15 a decade ago.

The hardest sell for standard being one of the best formats its ever been is that new cards come out way too often. It is near impossible to keep up with. Getting cards is costly and difficult. They will never fix this though because more sets equals more $.

@Scoop_Phase lol love it

Wiggle your big toe

@JessePrker I want the starmie deck to be good, but it seems to be just doing a bad impression of pult

@PaperPlayerCast Just okay, it was getting beat pretty bad by dragapult w/ shaymin but it was stealing some games versus the lucario deck which I thought would be a pretty bad matchup

🚨 Going live playing post-rotation Perfect Order format on twitch.tv/trickygym ‼️🚨

@Keyford96 @Espurr_Meow This is like mulliganing to 4 and also you hand is all 6 drops and you only have 3 lands

@Espurr_Meow I don't play Pokemon, Can someone please explain this in terms of Magic? And then please explain that in terms of Riftbound? And then explain that in terms of flesh and blood? And then explain it in terms of Pokemon?

This happens on stream like five times an event, and they turn it into a spectacle instead of acknowledging a fatal flaw within the game.

@CedricAPhillips Follow your dreams dude! Keeping putting in work!

When my mom got cancer my senior year of high school, my way of coping was listening to stand-up comedy (Mitch Hedberg and Jeremy Hotz mostly) I’ve been writing jokes for the past four years, but was always afraid to actually get on stage and perform them. Thankfully the consistent encouragement of @MissMariapants caused me to take a class in January. This is my graduation “Tight Five”. I’m a perfectionist (and control freak!), so I’m “unhappy” about a lot of this, but I’m working on not letting perfection be the enemy of good. Thanks for coming to my Ced Talk 🎤

@TordReklev Playing in a cup tomorrow and I want to play this, my meta is pretty heavy in pult (last challenge I went to had 9 pulls out of 20) Should I play something that is not cornerstone?

Decided to run it back with the exact same 60 from Vegas for EUIC Top 16 Cornerstone MVP See you in Fukuoka next weekend for post rotation!
