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.

Please help me find my deck and deck box from NAIC. I must have left it on my table at R4 and was accidentally/purposefully taken. Any help with this post would be appreciated. Would love to have it returned. No questions asked. I checked lost and found all weekend, no luck.

We have a bunch of events this summer, but this is by far the most important one to me. We’re having a Charity Tournament at NRG on July 12th! Great prizing to play for, raffles, auctions, and great stuff. Stream fun as well, so please share and invite people to donate!
On Sunday, July 12 NRG will be hosting a charity tournament supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charity, who provide housing for families with children receiving medical care. We will have giveaways, raffles, and more in person and on stream! Follow us for future updates!

Day 2 and 6-4-1 drop (scooped for official 5-5-1 record) with Dragapult! Biggest things from the weekend: my friends rock, and thank you to all the people that said hi and that you watch our streams. It was really cool and absolutely made my weekend.

It was awesome hanging with Ben and Maddox and watching both of them basically secure their invites. Also so cool to see Chicago locals absolutely crush it. For the deck: this 60 is actually fantastic. My mix of excellent and horrible play didn’t do it justice.

Thank you to @NRGTCG for the support, and thank you to all the dudes on the team for just being awesome. I love this community. And shoutout my favorite opponent Alyssa, round 4 was my most fun round in years.

Dragapult in my way into Day 2 again. I’m thinking I’m not totally washed, even if these last two rounds stunk. Let’s have some fun tomorrow. Yeet the children.

No stream tonight, but we will be back next Thursday as we move to the end of the invitational and competitive seasons! This means I actually get to play some games to prep for Indy, which is nice. Anyone have a good deck for a pokedad?
