Pokemon Sundays #2 with Final commentary... Of some sort!

-
Pokemon TCG Showdown!

Our 2nd Pokemon Sunday Session started off with a huge bang! We had more players show up and we even got one from the previous league play. The Casual Sunday Tourney had 9 entrants which is about double from last week.

With this, we were able to see more decks meta or non-meta play. We had a player play with a beefed up version of the Vivid Voltage Charizard deck. We had someone play a Charizard League Battle Deck with some upgrades and of course we saw the usual ADP and Eternatus come into play as well.

The battles were long but we were able to finish it off with a crazy finals which we were able to captured and put up a none-to less professional commentary version of it on youtube (check below!)

Tournament finished!

I may re-assess how to run the finals where the bracket can reset and the someone coming from the lower brackets will have to beat the Winner bracket twice and a 20 minute match timer for each round. All rounds will start at different times so running this casually is no problem but we will need to speed it up or start earlier. There's no concrete rules for the casual sundays as I would like to advertise it as "Pay for a Booster, deck test your build to see if you win another booster". So playing with proxies, Japanese cards, or maybe even editing your deck is allowed just let us know before hand as this is a casual run so even if you pay and lose you still end up getting a booster pack for just having fun.

We did get approved for Odyssey League from the store (separate from Pokemon OP League which we will have in the fall) where the players can play with up to two booster boxes worth of prizes. So anyways, hope to see some folks come by again next Sunday and stay tuned this week for some deck analysis and stuff.

WHO’S THAT TRAINER? – Meet TSN Member – Victor

The man that needs little to no introduction, let me introduce you to Victor. If you ever play or meet Victor for the first time you might think he's nervous and quiet but really he's calm, cool, and collected. As you are sitting there thinking you got an easy win, Victor is calculating every strat possible from the number of cards in his hand. While a monster in his own right, Victor has taken home several locals and also dabs in Gym Leader Challenge.  Victor has been a regular at Odyssey Games where tSn.Pokemon practice at. It wasn't until recently he was interested in joining Team SKYNITE. With his track record, why wouldn't we accept him. He's familiar with the game and he knows the team as well as other players from the local scene. From Southern California, Victor set foot in the game recently much like the other players we know (Be it, returning post-covid or new to the game all together). Victor has what it takes to help Team SKYNITe reach the big league. So...

Changes are coming to tSn.TCG!

-- By Nikki X We have been very quiet in our blog but we have been working behind the scenes to ensure you guys we will come back with more content! We started our youtube channel and it's slowly been getting there. I have finished moving but I'm on a work vacation so I haven't been around to write up some content and Elijah (Your favorite blog writer) has been on a book tour and Victor has been killing it locally. There's also changes coming internally for Team SKYNITE in general. So for a quick note of what to come for the TCG side of things: Esport support for Digimon Card Game and Star Wars Unlimited (In a trial based just to see how it goes) General SKYNITE Merchandise for folks to buy/win during community events (or requests!) More consistent blogs/write ups Attend more Regionals! New Blog Platform (In Discussion) I am planning on migrating over to a different blog platform for more control but that's something that's just up in the air as of right now but...

My Very Own Hot Sauce and Water Blend – Battle Diaries

by Elijah Douresseau     It was another ripe weekend for Pokémon Challenges in the LA and greater LA areas, as the official Regional circuit kicked off in Pittsburgh.    The top-tier meta scene still contains an army of Lost Box decks. As time goes on and expansions…expand the standard landscape, variations of the best decks in format can also increase. And some older versions may resurface with a vengeance (ahem – Giratina, anyone?).    During the registration phase of this Challenge, someone may have heard me say, “Let those Lost Boxes, those Palkias come at me, bro! Heck, give me all the smoke from them Miraidons,” as I decided to play my Quaquaval list I’ve been tinkering with for a couple of months.     Now Quaquaval ex and baby Quaquaval might not have a ton of visibility right now. I don’t know if they ever did. Admittedly, the ex version is probably the most straightforward of the ex starters – not that that is a...
