Pikkdog's Michigan State report

Pikkdog’s Michigan State report

Coming into the states tournament Team Pikkdogs was hungry for a win, we haven’t had one in a while. And this put considerable pressure on me since I am the sole member of Team Pikkdogs. Before the tournament I went back and forth about what deck I wanted to play.  At first I was thinking SP, so I built a cool Luxray GL/Infernape 4/Gallade 4 spread deck.  It was nice, but just didn’t win enough.  Then I thought Charizard; it’s a good simple deck.  [...]

2010 Wisconsin States - My day in the Senior Division

2010 Wisconsin States – My day in the Senior Division

I woke up at the crack of dawn to drive two hours to Madison, Wisconsin. My friend, who played in the Masters division, and I played a round of Pokemon in the car. I, of course, failed miserably. Not paying attention, we got lost and had to take an hour detour to get to Madison. Luckily, we made it in time for registration. When I went to submit my deck list, they handed me a reverse holo OP Gabite from the Platinum Supreme Victors [...]

Dumbo

Dumbo

Hello all, this is my first article and I welcome any and all criticism (constructive please). Now onto the article.

The deck that I will explaining to you is yes, another Flygon variant. The deck am I talking about, well, I like to call this variant Dumbo.

The reason that Donphan is so much quicker than Machamp is the fact that is a Stage [...]

Huntley, IL CC's Report

Huntley, IL CC’s Report

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, [...]

Willy G’s TCG Awards – 2009

So we are coming to the end of another great year, filled with many great new additions to the current TCG format. The card game has seen many new twists introduced, from SP Pokemon that allowed you to play insanely powerful monsters with great speed to a Lost Zone from where your cards can never return. However, throughout this year, there have been cards that stood out among the others, and I am taking it upon myself to honor those cards today. Let’s begin…
