I finished 10th at Portland Regionals! I think Tina is BDIF, but it is very(!) hard to play effectively, quickly, etc. The deck functioned very erratically across the event, but it did well enough. Most of my ties would have concluded with 1-2 extra turns.

This past weekend was insane, and I can share that I placed 6th/1985 players at the San Antonio Regional Championship! I went 11-0-4 in swiss before losing in Top 8. I was able to end day 1 undefeated at 8-0-1, and I won my win-and-in to Top 8 on stream.

This is seriously the best worst deck I've ever played, and I placed 47th/1200+ at LAIC in Sao Paulo! The deck did get stronger with counter catcher, and I think it still is one of the best decks in the format. My opponents were awesome people, and I loved getting to meet them.

So, um, I should have played Manaphy.... 58th/1700+ at Peoria Regionals with Lost Tina! This was my same 60 from Pittsburgh, just dropping a Pokegear for a Snorlax. I was punished exactly zero times in Pitt for dropping manaphy, but I was punished exactly MANY times in Peoria.

21st at Pittsburgh Regionals with Lost Tina! My deck refused to function relatively often, but I had some luck to help me win a few games I had no business winning. Vacuum was huge, waters aren't needed. Would 100% recommend this 60. Thanks @Nerd_RageGaming for the support!

Well, you can't contend for top 8 at every event, and I ended up bubbling out of top 128 at Charlotte Regionals (135th). Tina is still BDIF, but I disliked almost every change I made to the list. I made a few mistakes, and my opponents just hit it sometimes.

I placed in the Top 32 (29th) at the Milwaukee Regional this past weekend! I did not prep very much, as I got home from traveling Wednesday night, so I decided to do my standard best practice and just play a straightforward Tier 1(ish) deck. I net-decked current ArcTina 1/?

@VaughnPTCG @boofling_ I’ll leave it to a judge to determine whether this was “illegal” or manipulating the game. Regardless, this is kind of classless and a jerk move. You don’t need to tell them what their cards do, but implying that they may not have an out isn’t OK.

@OkamiAstra Id say those people’s opinions don’t matter. You get to decide if you’re happy with your results, or if you’d want to work towards something else. Also, don’t feel like you need a result to prove you’re skilled. Tons of variance in the game, so be confident in yourself

POKEMON TCG TIP OF THE DAY- winning and losing are such miniscule parts of this game and community. Once you understand that, the real growth starts. You will surprise yourself how much more success you find when you actually enjoy playing the game with the people around you.

I think I’m supposed to talk smack: this isn’t US Nationals, so at least I’ll have a chance @NickCRobinson ? Legit, we are going to have a really cool IRL series, so come watch and help us do some good for people in need.

@alexwilsonTCG Came into day 2 with 21 match points in Portland, went 4-0-2 in day 2, and bubbled out of top 8. On me for not playing out the last round, but that’s kind of absurd. It’s just very, very difficult to make cut in general.

@JoeMommyTCG @mrdarthbean What would a phenomenal finish be? Top 16 at a 1500-2200 person event is insane; I’d be willing to say top 10% of an event is excellent, and anything greater than top 5% of an event is phenomenal

The main changes from San Antonio were adding more gust and Iono. Both were fantastic, but maybe Iono is better as another gear. Manaphy, Jirachi, Tomb, and other techs could be good, but weren't worth it.

For all who helped with my Master's Thesis, THANK YOU AGAIN!!! The study is complete and approved as of Thursday, so I have sent all the gift cards. As a note, some people won't get one, as I couldn't use their data (completed incorrectly, same email for multiple responses, etc)

@Sininchi @ZanderBennett @pedrosk0v This is exactly what I’ve been dealing with (well, less dramatically). I play fast, my opponents play slower, we finish 2.5-2.9 games. Weird as hell finish, but still awesome to be undefeated!
