Top 8 at Lille Regionals with optimal rat line Lugia. Played the same 60 as Dortmund because other cards just weren't as good as these. Shoutout to the Isle of Men and the Chesterfield massive for the testing and listening to me scream about how good Lugia is for the past month.

Top 8 at Stuttgart Regionals. Mew seemed like a good play after Gdańsk so I tested it and landed on this 60. Grabber and Luxray V are degenerate cards, very fun. Matchups below:

40th at Stuttgart Regionals with the big bridge 🌉. Deck was a very good call for the event, had a couple of unfortunate games but pleased the deckbuilding work paid off. Shoutout to @ClarkePTCG and the discord group for testing this pile with me. 1 booster box. 100 points

Just opened my skateboard from Worlds, saw the card was 025/750 which is coincidentally Pikachu's Pokédex number, curious if this is a gimmick and they're all the same, or whether I got EXTREMELY lucky. Anyone else who opened their board able to confirm the number on the card?

47th at Gdańsk with optimal rat line Lugia VSTAR. Deck is broken when you find a Lugia V on turn one and don't prize three VSTAR.

T128 (91st) with Lugia. Started off hot and finally won a stream game but too many bricks towards the end. Rat line is optimal. Wellspring carried.

One last ride at a very small Cup last weekend with Mew, and this is how it treated me R1 😢 (active was Genesect) . Anyway I won the Cup so +18.

Finished 104/1502 players at Liverpool Regionals this weekend. Changed a few cards from my Stuttgart list to adapt to the Tomb techs. A little disappointed in how day two went but +40 so we move. 496/500.

5-2-2 with SableZard at Dortmund Regionals for a T256 finish. Bit of a shame as I was 5-0-2 but +30 gets me my first invite, so we'll be off to Honolulu! Not bad for a first full season.

I finished my first full season playing seriously and got a Worlds invite which I was super stoked about. I got another Regional top cut this season, along with not missing a day two at the four Regionals I attended. I also won my first stream game (took way too long).
since 2024 is nearly over, what was everyone’s proudest achievement/moment playing ptcg this year?. this was my first full year playing, my proudest moments are topping four cups, including getting 2nd at a top cut comics cup in chicago 🥹.

Also kinda PTCG related but kinda not, I met Amy through the game and we got engaged this year, I'd say that's a pretty big dub.

Some people have already heard me rant about this over the weekend, but I'm still (unnecessarily) frustrated so I thought I'd rant on here too. As much as I love a good statistical breakdown of the meta, these give very limited information due to archetypes being grouped. 1/?

After playing the game casually since 2019 I decided to finally give the invite a go. Had a pretty average season and there's lots to improve on, but finished on 700/500. Most of all I just enjoyed getting to know people within the community, and looking forward to next season.

69th moving into day two at Liverpool Regionals. A little disappointing after starting 5-0-1 but we take it.

We put in the work and it paid off, I'm glad we're able to create decks together that have consistent performances (and could've done better if the Matthews didn't pair each other R12).
I'm so thankful to have such an amazing group to enjoy playing this game with.

Went to a Cup yesterday because it felt weird missing Stockholm. Won the Cup with Pidgeot so +18. Did two prereleases today, got a Dragapult and went 7-1 across the events. All in all a good weekend, still would've been nice to be in Stockholm though.

PTCG Twitter been an interesting place recently, so I thought I'd post this pile. This is what I played to my first Regionals in 2019, I had been playing the game for two weeks. Join in and share your first decks that are 100% dreadful but funny to look back on.

Deck too good. Dreepy killing machine.
Won the 329 player Dortmund cup with Lugia playing the same 60 that @emothann and I cooked up. Ended up 5-2-1 on Day 1 but managed 11-1 in the cup. Optimal rat line. Wellspring and Thorton are broken.

Andrew is an unhinged deck builder. He used Trinity Nova for "extra deck searches".
200/~2000 at Birmingham with 0 basic energy arceus, MUs below. S/O @zapdostcg, @lubyllule, @AlexScops, @likeollywithab and anyone else I paired for the games! And @emothann for being washed

7-1 across two GLC events this weekend at Worlds with Dark! Big thanks to @Pumpkaamy for building and testing with me! (and a special shout out to @The_Sableyes and @YTr4cker for the stolen glasses good luck charm for the 4-0 in the second event)

There is SO MUCH potential for this deck to take the crown in the new format 👑 being able to use Dark Patch AND Trumpet to ramp for Darkrai, as well as bringing them back with your VSTAR power, that's a INSANE amount of damage 🤯.
Presenting Turbo Darkrai Noctowl Control 🦉😴. Hoopa ex serves 2 purposes, firstly, as a Tera Pokémon to activate Area Zero, secondly, to counter Terapagos by hitting for weakness 👊

Watching GLC on the #PlayPokemon stream today was a blast, and makes it even better when it's my decks getting used! Grass did grass things well when piloted by @omni_joe, you'll get him next time @thewossy

And this is how a meta breakdown graphic SHOULD be done!.
Coming on Live day 2 metagames! This takes all reported decks into account so it's not completely accurate, but should give players a pretty good idea of what they should expect during day 2!

@AlrightDave1 San Antonio hasn't changed anything. Lots of decks are good right now. Play what you know you're good with, and you'll get the results you want.

Went 5-0 last night in @Pumpkaamy 's GLC tournament! Felt like trying something new so spent some time tweaking Dragon to my liking, and it performed so much better than expected! Now time to build it IRL.

@TheOneBenBailey Also not limited to your turn. So if opponent uses Dusknoir/Magneton/Slither Wing/Roaring Moon ex in the Active Spot, you get to flip also.

@NikolineJuhlPed Much better! I'll let you off for the energy arrangement because it's thematic (although it looks more like a banana than a moon), but PLEASE fix these mismatched artworks 😭

@thefleeee UK events cost more than the rest of EU for some reason. They picked the number 60 for cost of Regionals in local currency, but £60 > €60. If EUIC was in mainland Europe it'd probably be €75 instead.

@MagnusJPedersen @StecherCro @BoeckerMathias @Jezyk46 Decklist photo much better than the last one, but why do you change which way the cards overlap 😭 both you and @NikolineJuhlPed need to improve drastically at this.

After watching @enjoifriend play the new Neopets TCG on stream the other day I had a nostalgia hit and I started playing again. Unfortunately the TCG isn't currently releasing in the UK. Any American friends able to help me out and hit me up with some at Worlds? 😭.
