Day 2 of Disney Lorcana Challenge in Dallas Fort Worth. I went 5-0-1 and then ID the next 3. Here’s the list I’m playing. Congratulations on everyone who’s in! 2 games format is unforgiving. I feel for my friends who couldn’t get to top cut 🙏
I'm in the process of submitting as a RB coach both in EN and FR, if anybody is interested in that, it will likely be available before the end of the week. Reach out if you are interested. I have some very good insights on how to navigate the GS vs RB match up.
Was 1 game away from winning the card, but now I at least own the pin! Happy first anniversary,
@DisneyLorcana
. What a year that was! Looking forward to the second year 🙏🎉
Today we celebrate fathers and mourn the end of what has been the best rallying point for Lorcana’s community in the last year. Pixelborn, you will truly be missed 🙏
Let's celebrate one of the best person to contribute to the success of Lorcana. What he has done for the community is truly remarkable. You won't be forgotten, legend.
I'm high on Scuttle item shells and this one is completely cracked as well. Maurice's Workshop with 8 1d cantrip items can offer some real grind vs control match ups, something that was lacking in set 3. There is hope for BS!
Ever since they announced Pocahontas, I have been obsessed about the idea of having Colors of the Wind as a powerful song in the game. Could it be time for a new sweeper? 6, 7 or 8 cost, uninkable, in sapphire. Put all characters into their players’s inkwell facedown and exerted.
The duality of wanting to enjoy your vacations with your awesome family but also low key thinking about Toronto DLC and Shimmering Skies meta all the time😅
As much as I totally admire the game design behind Lorcana, Flynn into rare Sisu is bad game design, unfortunately. It makes so that you get heavily punished for being on the draw because your Sisu gets to be always worse than theirs.
Have a great DLC everyone who is attending. I live far away from both, so I'm staying home this week-end, hopefully going to 1 or 2 later this year. If I was playing this week-end, here's what I would bring.
Hey everyone! Tonight I’ll be doing community webcam testing in the
@LabyrinthTCG
discord channel! I’ll be jamming as many games as I can with as many of you as I can starting around 9pm EST! So join the discord and make sure that webcam is in focus!
For those that feel disappointment when not getting the results they want:
-There are steps to success. When you play, you are working towards a goal and there are always steps to it!
TCGs are a sport to me. My life revolves around them and I train to be the best that I can
Pavel posted some stats from the last year of Pixelborn.
21st Top Players by # of Wins
47th Top Players by # of Games
38th Top Players by Win Rate %
Total of 3637 games.
Set 4 meta keeps evolving. Ruby Sapphire took a big hit from the uptick of Ruby Amethyst. But things might be more nuanced than people think when looking at these numbers. There is ways for ES, SS and RS to tech more heavily for RA and this is where we are headed.
It's been pretty hard to play a lot of games with all the coaching I have been doing in the last 2 weeks. I really can't complain, though, these sessions have been absolutely fantastic. Tons of great feedback and recognition. I owe you all a lot🙏 I still found time for HC top25!
Made day 2 of DLC Chicago finishing 23rd seed playing blue red. Back to back day 2s in ATL and CHI feels amazing. I played

list card for card! He is an absolute blue red master. Hire him for coaching you won’t regret it!
A few thoughts about DLC Chicago: 3 of my students made top64. RB was recognized as the deck to beat coming into the event, so people showed up with RP and GP, barely respecting the power of GS, which again led to a second GS win back to back weekend. Time to boil that down! 💪
This morning, I bought my ticket for DLC Fort Worth (after being on the waiting list for a few weeks), my plane ticket and now,
@DisneyLorcana
announced the Bucky nerf. What a day to be a Lorcana player! <3
When I was talking this week about dedication into this game. I have calculated my paper games vs Pixelborn games.
Paper: around 160 games
Pixelborn: exactly 3241 games
We might need to fill that gap in the upcoming weeks.
First game of Pixelborn Connect ✅
It was pretty smooth! I really liked the option of flipping your screen as well as the integrated ink and lore counters! Great job

Official photo of my winnings from yesterday. We got a surprise, the Stitch Rock star promo was in French, which I think there might only be 8 total copies in Quebec (but much more in France, ofc).

Finished the weekend with a 16-3 record. 82% WR. Just to put perspective on how hard these tournaments are. I felt so lucky to be able to go that far. What an experience…
On revient sur le Lorcana Challenge mais ...aux Etats-Unis !

I’ve been taking photos with these amazing players more than any other people in the last year 🫣
Shoutout to the excellent LGS La Pieuvre Barbue for the stellar event!
1. Vision was incredible to find the right pieces at the right time while still being able to be inked when needed. Got me a dime in the mirror, a Pawp with a Hiram in play, a Hiram with Pawp in play, Tamatoa while a dime in pay, etc.
Happy 626 Day! No matter which team wins in this tug-of-war, there’s no debate as to who’s the most mischievous and cutest blue alien around.

@BSquared24
I'm fine if Set champs prizes become a bit more accessible to the mass and DLCs are the real circuit for competitive players. I will say, though, don't expect the promos the be worth as much as they've been. I suspect they will tank drastically (under $100).
@Lauren_cana
Even if I wasn't clamoring anything about it, I still think that people stating that they will be missing it is still a good incentive for them to accelerate the process of building one.
And now for the conversion rates. We see that both Sapphire decks, Sa/St and Ru/Sa overperformed in Bologna while the Amethyst decks, name Ae/Ru and Ae/St underperformed. Ru/Sa is definitely the story of the weekend as nearly 7% of players who played Ru/Sa made it to day 2 and
The deck revolves around The Muses + 6d Lady Tremaine to lock your opponent out by singing a song and getting back the Tremaine each turn. The win con is the Gramma Tala with the help of Mama Odie. The rest just fuels it.
Pretty close from what we anticipated. People were scared of playing RP, so I knew there was a good chance it wouldn’t up its count from previous DLCs. We also predicted there would be a bunch of unknowns, and let me tell you, there was a ton of random decks.
Psst, hey, cool data from
#DLCToronto
Amber/Steel absolutely overperformed this weekend while Amber/Ruby underperformed with no representation in Day 2 despite being 6% of the meta.
This is an interesting look at a format we will never see again but hey, maybe get some

Thanks for the games and for keeping the positive attitude even in front of me finding the right cards and the very few slips. You can be proud of your run and you should walk away with your head high. 🙏 top32 is no small feat.
Here’s a nice interview about DLCs, specific thoughts about the next one in Toronto and overall chit chat with my fellow qualified Quebecers (in English).
Doing coaching has been incredible. People have been giving great feedbacks and I feel rewarded now more than ever for taking so much time, energy and dedication into this game. It's leaving me with this awesome emotion of being at the right place, at the right time. Thanks 🙏
