Kenny Wisdom's (kwisdumb) Lacey, WA CC report


Kenny Wisdom's (kwisdumb) Lacey, WA CC report

We’re well into the Cities season, but because of my fiance’s work requirements, the only CC we’ve been able to attend is the one held on Sunday, December 13th at Olympic Cards & Comics in Lacey, WA.

The local metagame thus far has been almost entirely SP dominated, with LuxChomp, BlazeRay, etc. all ruling the roost. Not knowing how to play Machamp, and being an SP player since their introduction, I decided to stick with my old favorite, LuxApe. In hindsight BlazeRay or LuxChomp probably would’ve …

Distrito Federal, MX City Championships

Distrito Federal, MX City Championships

Hello 6p, I am finally back with an article for everyone, and I hope to post more in the following weeks as the OP 2009 – 2010 season continues it’s way into more exciting tournaments. School and other activities have kept me away from 6p and the Pokemon scene in general. I had not playtested anything since some online Apprentice tournaments back in October and none of them had included AR cards. I pretty much only knew about Expert Belt, Spiritomb AR and Gengar Lv.X …

Gliscor Spiritomb Lock

Gliscor Spiritomb Lock

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my newest article I’ve decided to post on SixPrizes.com.

It’s about a pretty new deck that should be seen at some Cities. As you may have realized because of the title, it’s the Gliscor-Spiritomb Lock. The main strategy of this deck is to paralyze your opponent’s active Pokémon with Gliscor Lv.X’s Poké-Power “Shoot Poison” and return it to your hand with the regular Gliscor’s “Burning Poison” attack to do it again and again. You may think you won’t do any actual …

Mankey Business - The One Hit Wonder

Mankey Business - The One Hit Wonder

A guy I know at league has been playing a Darkrai Lv.X deck that I keep losing to. Unwilling to totally scrap the deck that I have been playing, I went looking for a tech. And that’s when I came upon Mankey SV. For 1 Fighting Energy he can hit Level Xs for 60 damage. But it gets better. Darkrai Lv.X has a x2 weakness to Fighting, effectively giving Mankey a OHKO against my arch nemesis Darkrai.

So here’s the plan. Because it only takes 1 …

Takuto Itagaki – 2009 World Champion Senior Division – Deck Analysis

Takuto Itagaki – 2009 World Champion Senior Division – Deck Analysis

Everyone involved in Pokemon TCG online communities and competitive aspect of the game, has heard of Steven Silvestro’s 1st place at the Pokemon TCG 2009 World Championships with a Beedrill / Luxray GL deck. Not as popular though, is Takuto Itagaki’s performance, as he also is a Pokemon TCG World Champion from the Senior Division. He and his father were kind enough to allow me to write up an article about his winning deck, which I personally find very intriguing as it was just the …

Honchkrow Supreme Victors SV #29 – Card of the Day

Honchkrow Supreme Victors SV #29 - Card of the Day

Cards that allow you to disrupt your opponent are always very attractive strategies for competitive players. Honchkrow SV has a very unique Poke-Power, where it can return an opponent’s Basic Pokemon into play with its “Darkness Restore” Poke-Power. This combos greatly with it’s only attack: “Riot”, as it does 30 damage + 10 more damage for every unevolved Pokemon in play (both yours and your opponent’s).

There are several cards that compliment Honchkrow SV, such as Dusknoir DP and Honchkrow Lv.X. A deck based around these …

Luxray GL LV.X + Infernape 4 LV.X: Why they Work Together

Luxray GL LV.X + Infernape 4 LV.X: Why they Work Together

This article may be a tad bit overdue considering everyone and their grandma knows about this deck, but I still feel it’s worth discussing.

This combination of Pokemon cards proved strong enough to win the U.S. National Championship, and although it had a somewhat poor showing at Worlds, I still feel that Luxray GL/Infernape 4 is an extremely viable deck and will perform well at Autumn Battle Roads.

Here is one possible take on the deck:

Pokemon-16
3 Luxray GL
1 Luxray GL LV.X
2 Infernape 4
1 Infernape 4 …

Straight Luxray GL - Testing Results

Straight Luxray GL - Testing Results

A few days ago Adam and I played a few games, his Luxray GL/Golem 4 deck versus my more or less straight Luxray GL. By “straight” Luxray I mean the deck is based mainly around him. I decided to test this versus Adam’s deck mainly to see if Golem 4 along with Technical Machine G would give him a major advantage in the mirror match.

Here’s the list I used:

3 Luxray GL
