The Upper Hand

To celebrate the 2023-2024, I'm running a Summer Coaching Deal to help everyone prepare for Worlds, or to get ready for our new season. No discount code necessary, just book my Summer Deal on Metafy! 1 hour ($50/hr): @zachlesage/sessions/summer-deal-1-hour-vGF6TyyDoJY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mfy.gg/@zachlesage/se… 2 hours ($45/hr): @zachlesage/sessions/summer-deal-2-hours-Kmi3df2QarW" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mfy.gg/@zachlesage/se… Feel free to book as many sessions as you like, and you can even stock up heading into the 2024-2025 season! This deal will be valid until Worlds for online sessions only! If you have any questions, be sure to hit me up!

I've opened up my Discord server for everyone! It was a server for me to post lists before, but now I'm trying to make it a community server! Invite: discord.gg/ZSXsXBcy97 Talk about Pokemon, decks, and pretty much everything in between!

I'm running @TryMetafy Group Classes in June! June 14 | Raging Bolt | $20 Sign up: classes.metafy.gg/classes/master… I have plenty of experience playing aggressive decks, and Raging Bolt Ogrepon is similar to the Blacephalon GX "Blowns" deck that I played in 2018-2019. I have earned many top placements with these styles of decks, have an amazing list, and can show you how to play Raging Bolt Ogrepon optimally. June 21 | Ancient Box | $20 Sign up: classes.metafy.gg/classes/master… After the release of Twilight Masquerade, many players doubted this deck, but I took it to a Top 128 finish out of nearly 2700 players at NAIC. This is arguably the most underrated deck in format, and is much better than most players think! I have a new list since NAIC, can show you how to play the deck optimally, and go over key matchups! Everyone who signs up for any (or all) of my courses will receive a one-time-use discount code for a 1-on-1 session with me alongside a copy of the VOD. If you can't make the scheduled time, you can still sign up, and receive a VOD of the course. The VOD will be sent to all who sign up to watch again at your own leisure. Reposts / sharing with friends would be much appreciated!

I forgot to post yesterday, but here are the top 10 best decks of the week! NAIC just wrapped up, and some additions on here might surprise you (maybe not - idk) Watch: youtu.be/4MYw072fqoo?si… Some love on this vid would mean a lot :D

This season I challenged myself to try different archetypes at different events, and ended up playing 8 different archetypes to get to my 860CP that I earned. Did I regret any of my choices? I likely should've played Charizard more because that deck almost always earned me CP. I didn't know that until I finished creating this graphic. Play into your strengths! Jolteon Iron Valiant was a deck that I overcooked with for LAIC, and I could've saw a lot more success with Lost Tina, or almost any other deck. I did get points, but it was my biggest fumble this season. My favorite deck to play out of them all? Ancient Box! It is a deck that plays towards my fundamental strengths (sequencing, resource management, deck thinning, etc.), and building up a massive amount of damage was fun! The weirdest deck that I earned points with was a Lost Zone Box Mimikyu V Earthen Seal Stone deck that I won a challenge with. Yeah, idk why I played it, but it worked for a few rounds I guess lol! How did your season end up? Feel free to lemme know about your triumphs, your failures, and anything in between!
