Top 64 at LAIC!!!
Miraidon is still sooooo busted. You play 100% of games.
I will talk about this list and my run on the

My opinion on Ian Robb match:
Definitely deserved a penalty, match loss, game loss or DQ. I’ll leave that up to judges to decide and they did.
However, it occurred AFTER the match. This top 4 match should not be happening, Jesse Parker should be in finals

Played this pile today in Indy,
Goal was to mostly have fun but the deck takes a good Charizard matchup, but terrible Gardy matchup and I hit TWO?
Take this to your next cup, you’ll be surprised how consistent it is.

Get rid of ties in Pokemon fully
No ID’s, no ties in Swiss
This does not mean eliminate best of 3, but use top cut rules in Swiss and don’t allow an ID.
ID last round was a mistake, deserved punishment.

Also, deck is just super strong! +40 CP

It was so much worse. This format is bad, but it's not even comparable.
Only Thorns is playing 4 Crushing Hammers right now, imagine those in every deck. Catchers often too.

Through 4 rounds of Pokémon stream today, we have had 3 ties and one win.
Something has to change because this isn’t fun seeing a tie every round.
Maybe it’s 5-10 additional minutes due to stream conditions?

You’re my hero.

Looking back… so grateful to make Worlds. Leave for Japan tomorrow morning and I’m so grateful.
My goal for 2024 season is to make top cut at at least one regional.
No other goals at this time.
