About cpeterikMy name is Colin Peterik- after an 8 year hiatus around Neo Genesis, I started playing competitively again around the release of Platinum: Arceus. I attend Columbia College in Chicago where I am an Audio Arts and Acoustics major. In my spare time I write and record original music, play drums in a cover band, and love to skateboard. You can reach me on facebook by searching my name, or feel free to send me a message. Featured Article
 Title: Tech Please! #01 Donphan HGSS. Format: MD-HGSS: UL We all know Donphan is as annoying as it is popular. A force to be reckoned with, Donphan can turn any player, newbie or veteran, into a potential round loss at a tournament. Don’t get me wrong, Donphan is a great card, and arguably the most game changing card of the last 3 expansions, barring maybe Jumpluff, Spiritomb and Expert Belt. The thing that makes it one of the [...] Continue reading Tech Please! #01 Donphan HGSS.  So this past weekend was the 2010 US National Championship for the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Held at the wonderful Indianapolis Convention Center, the venue provided more than enough room and accommodations for the thousands of competitors and supporters. With over 850 competitors in the Masters division, I believe this was the most well attended US Nationals ever. With 9 Swiss rounds over 2 days leading up to a top 128 that would span into day 3, this was sure to be one crazy [...] Continue reading Cpeterik’s 2010 Nats Recap and TyraniTomb Analysis  Hey guys- So we now have the full setlist for our upcoming set, HeartGold & SoulSilver Unleashed!!! As you may know, Pre-Release tournaments in the U.S. are this weekend (May 1st & 2nd) and next weekend (May 8th and 9th). So we didn’t get Vileplume or Legend Box, two cards that would have severely effected the meta game for Nationals, but we did get a few cards of note that may see play at top tables at Battle Roads [...] Continue reading How to win HGSS UL Pre-Releases.  What’s up guys? I am here with an analysis on a new deck I have been play testing extensively over the last few weeks. I knew I wanted to build Plox when HG/SS came out, but after seeing some of the other cards in the set, I thought I should take advantage of some of the new overlooked cards and build something that isn’t simply a net-deck. The result is a high-power, high-consistency, top-tier deck worthy of dominating for the short remainder of the [...] Continue reading Deck Analysis – Sludggge.  I figured it was only fitting that I wrote a report on the very last CC’s of the season. This one was in Huntley, IL; a small town 45 minutes west of Chicago. The turn out was phenomenal. Over 100 heads, with 64 Masters. This is what the game is all about. The tournament was run by Jimmy Ballard, (2nd place at Worlds 2008, and owner of Collect-a-Card n’ Comics in Chicago and Top Cut Comics in Rockford). The head judge was Jeremy Adams, [...] Continue reading Huntley, IL CC’s Report  What’s up everyone? I’m here to talk about something that I assumed everyone already knew about. However, after talking to a few esteemed players, I realized it wasn’t exactly something obvious. Of course I am talking about, The Ditto Trick. The Ditto trick is an extremely simple way to get around Gengar SF’s annoying “Feinting Spell” PokePower. All Ditto needs is 1 Psychic energy, and Gengar is toast. Sounds simple, right? But what makes it a trick? Well, the trick [...] Continue reading The Ditto Trick  What’s up everyone? The following is a super fun deck I’ve been toying around with that revolves around the often overlooked legendary, Darkrai! After performing a Google search for a deck that involves him, I quickly realized that the poor guy simply isn’t seeing a lot of play, and the decks that I did find were certainly not competitive enough to keep up with today’s format. So why is that? Well, first off, every Darkrai has a relatively low HP. [...] Continue reading Darkrai Me a River |
