468/2635 My first day two in the books, day two didnt go as planned but im just glad to get the hurdle out of the way. 60 was nuts, but some bad draw luck prevented me from fully showing it. starting 4-0 was crazy!

Rightoid Christian twitter genuinely wants you to believe this is just a young man preaching the word of the lord and not someone experiencing a horrific mental health crisis

i would rather my LCS go out of business than pay them market price for sealed product

Do not talk to me about a “Biblical sexual ethic” when you voted for an adjudicated rapist who cheated on his 3rd wife with a porn star and is all over the Epstein files. You do not care about “Biblical sexual ethics”. You just hate queer people. It’s pathetic.

dragapult carried players angry about gardevoir because they lose the matchup and they cant pilot the deck themselves, more news at 6

table 3, farmed a pult here with darm

@irismorgan999 @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude finishes have nothing to do with the topic here lmao, just comes off as egotistical for no reason.

@SimplyXziled @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude my one time playing garde to a major this season was better than 3 of your finishes:) i think i know the deck pretty solid

Pokemon TCG is the best card game all around. Diverse meta games, intricate deckbuilding, high-skill in-game decisions, high agency, extremely low costs for the best cards and decks, and they haven't banned a card in almost 6 years! Links below to get into the competitive scene!

@irismorgan999 @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude this is just objectively an incorrect understanding of gardevoir as a deck

@SimplyXziled @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude playing towards a luck strategy inherently takes agency out of the game even with pult i favored over garde because i could create better agency with my board whereas with garde it was all down to munki abuse and iono spam

@irismorgan999 @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude pult is just the same in the "click iono" sweepstakes. iono imo isnt even a broken card. having disruption to allow for comebacks is healthy for the game and allows multiple play styles.

@SimplyXziled @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude yes it is objectivly just okay the issue is iono the card was incredibly busted in something like iono theres no agency behind playing towards iono low late game and saying your opponent doesnt hit it thats not interactive and doesnt take skill

@irismorgan999 @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude This version of the deck is objectively just okay into the field and the lines for matchups become more challenging. the easiest version of the deck in the past year has been the brixty by far but the rest of the field adapted quickly.

@SimplyXziled @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude of all the decks ive played since starting in mid 2023 this version of garde was one of the easiest decks i played to an event and it carried me to a cup win and a near day 2 that really was only the fault of some whiffs and some bad time mangement on my part.

@RandomTacoDude Gardy was a high agency deck that allowed people who put the time in and have real skill at the game to perform consistently well, while beginner to intermediate players couldn't do anything with the deck. What more could you want? Does Pawn E4 need a ban in chess too?

@irismorgan999 @Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude the players seeing results with the deck genuinely just learned lol. the deck also opened up a path for players to learn those skills. gardevoir by no means carries the player.

@Celios_Network @RandomTacoDude litterally saw players who couldnt sniff cut at a cup before win one with the deck i also saw people beat others much better than them with garde because the deck carries the player its not that hard to determine your attacker and click iono

its not an issue if you understand what tcg means lol

@itsMutaTV imagine we got to play this format as long as we were supposed to. genuinely the most fun format of g block and its been here for like all of 2 weeks

The format healed right at the end of the format buts it’s ok 😊

@T_Blatt Had this happen to me lol, someone was playing telepathic energy in their alakazam

Oh league cups, I hope you never change

Cup Win #6! +50 to the lost zone. Shouts to @emothann i saw you playing in the finals otw to this cup and felt inspired. Deck is super fun and feels disgusting in some matchups.

we love to see it

Sigh... Always up to me

#NewProfilePic back 2 back days on 2 polar opposite decks lol

Cant forget this, crazy i dont have a pic from it being max blinged tho

my beloved gardevoir ex 😔 this past year with you has been a blessing, my first 2 masters regionals, my first 2 cup wins, and the deck that taught me how to play at a higher level. you will forever be overhated. i will cherish you forever.
