Hey everyone, I know i"ve been gone for awhile, but I've had some medical issues and whatnots that needed to be taken care of. In other news I bring you an article I'm writing about the Pokemon TCG North American state/province/territory Championships that are going on this month!
Hello there my fellow Pokemon Trainers, and welcome back this year to the Pokemon S/P/T Noth American Championships! This year is bustling with new trainers as they gather from all around to have a go for the top spot. This year we have a nice new set of decks that are headed to the competition and they are:
-Cake (revised) -Celebridge -Gardetelle -reshiphlosion -Zekrom -Hydraboar
Some of you don't really know what any of those means, so I'll delve a little for you.
~~"CAKE" is a deck that has a similar play to "Six corners" as it plays several big basic pokemon, and it got a new twist with the Noble Victories and Next Destinies TCG exspansions. In Noble Victories, Cobalion and Kyurem shone through and revealed a shocking new way to hit the bench and attacklock your opponents. With Kyurem's Glaciate, you hit the whole team your opponent has for 30 damage each turn. With Cobalion,you can play into no attacking for your opponents by using the 80powered "Iron Breaker" attack that prevents them from attacking next turn. Or you can even combat Mewtwo EX by using Energy press, which does 20 damage TIMES the number of energy attached to the defending pokemon. thats a bad day for mewtwo.
~~"Celebridge" plays off of Celebi Prime, Shaymin EX, and Mewtwo EX as big cards, and Skyarrow bridge as the stadium to pullout quick retreats for free energy. It plays big off of Celebi to quickly attach energy to Mewtwo and then when done, it gets a free retreat to pull up mewtwo and hit hard with X-Ball. It's a relatively fast deck when played with Cleffa.
~~"Gardetell" plays forthat strategical boost as it puts out Gothitelle to lock out your opponents items, which means No Rare Candy, Poke Comm, or tools. This hurts a bunch of decks in early game set up. Gardevor's Pokepower to let each Psychic energy count as 2 psychic energy is a big player on Gothitelle's MadKinesis, and Mewtwo'sX-Ball. Its cheap,plays medium speed and has chance for ONKO's on almost ANY pokemon out there.
~~"Reshiphlosion" is a combination of playing Typhlosion Prime with reshiram. With the release of Reshiram EX, Reshiphlosion, has gotten to big a bigger deck than before. Not much else is to be said about this deck as it's pretty standard.
~~"Zekrom" gets a revamp in Next Destinies as Zekrom EX hits the field. Tag him up with his regular self, Thundrus, and Eelektriks you have a constant energy flow capable towipe the field fast. With Zekrom constantly discarding energies, you play 2-3 eelektriks on bench to recycle your Electric energies andkeep hitting hard with "StrongVolt"
~~"Hydraboar" plays Reshiram, Reshiram EX, Hydreigon, and Emboar. With Hydreigon's Dark Aura, you don't have toworry about dark energy as all energy you attach to him become darkautomatically. Emboar's Inferno Fandango ability lets you play as many Fire energy fromyour hand as you like and reshiram and Dreigon,love it. This deck plays fisherman, so when you start needing your energy backfrom discard, you just play him and he saves the day.
This being said I look forward to the competition as i take my Zekrom Deck all the way. I'll keeep you all informed on how it goes. Catch you later! ;D
