Finished 4-3-1 at Frankfurt regionals with Alakazam. I knew it was a poor pick for the event but didn't feel comfortable with anything else. Bubbled points at 1051st place, but considering this was my first competitive event this season, I'm happy enough with the result

pokedaduk.bsky.social @pokedaduk.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Why did none of the top performing Alakazam lists at worlds play special red card? What am I missing? Are we really still out here letting other decks do whatever they please?

Ptcgo had this years ago and it should have been in live from the start, but I'm glad they've finally implemented it

Utrecht was possibly my worst regionals run ever, going 2-5-1 with lopunny. It felt like a great pick but without the secret moltres tech and an unlucky pairing in to bolt round 1, and mega dragonite round 2 (yes really) I just went from one bad matchup to another and couldn't recover.

Played 2 cups this weekend and managed to get the last placement I needed to reach the 200cp "Ace Trainer" threshold. It's nice to have a lower target when not being ultra competitive and now I can go to Utrecht with the goal of having a fun time rather than needing points

2 games in to the new version and I had a game breaking bug that meant I couldn't play cards and had a timer run out and do nothing. I couldn't even conceed the game. As one game dev to another, please do better!

3-4-1 at euic with alakazam. Not the result I wanted, but kind of the result I expected. All my opponents were lovely though and it was great bumping in to all the people I've got to know over the years. That's what Pokémon is really about right?

The Destinies Rivals prerelease kits are incredibly unbalanced and not fun at all if you get the bad ones (I did), but I pulled a full art Rocket's Mewtwo, so there's that I guess!

Won a Trading Card Game classic box at a local Pokémon Day unofficial tournament. Decided to switch things up and ran Archaludon winning every round except R4 which I ID'd to guarantee top cut. Feels good to win an event again :)

Started off well at 2-0-1 at euic then hit a horrible 4 match losing streak. Ended up a disappointing 3-4-2. Ceruledge had tested well for me online and at local events but just didn't work today. Shame really.

@fanfinity.bsky.social Paying for a regional would give a ticket that allowed you to play in the cup the next day. Now the ticket gets you a pick-a-pack and the cup is £30+. I would like to stay longer at your events and compete some more if I don't make day 2, but this is frankly a rip off

Ptcgl ladder is definitely giving me a false impression of how good Ceruledge is. I'm 17-4 with it at the moment and beaten 3 Garde in a row. There are way too many ppl struggling with that deck at 1600 in arceus league it seems

3-1 for 2nd at Brighton challenge with Ceruledge. Deck ran perfectly for 3 rounds then refused to give me Pokémon or ball search in the last round and I got T2 donked. Best of one stuff again. Ah well

Finished 424 out of 2019 players at Birmingham regionals with a 5-3 record playing Palkia/terapagos. One loss being a tie would have given me day 2 but I'm happy to have done as well as I did

A bit of a tragic 1-2-1 result at Eastbourne cup today. Was going okay, but matched a world's qualified junior playing snorlax in R3 with no answers in my deck and a frustrating g3 donk in R4 sealed my fate. Hopefully will see better fortunes in Birmingham next week

1st of 12 at Shoreham cup with TeraPalk. Some odd games and awful misplays but good to get a finish this season. Still work to do on the list, but all good practice for Birmingham next month.

I don't know who updates the decklist printer at www.pokedata.ovh/paper/ but pretty please can you update it? It doesn't recognise my promo Noctowls or anything from Surging Sparks and I love the ability to print out my decklists coz I'm old like that!

4th out of 16 at Brighton challenge with jet TeraPalk. Finished 3-1 as did 2nd and 3rd. Bo1 things and hoping that my opponent couldn't get out of an iono to 3 with no draw on board were my downfall. We live and learn

pokedaduk.bsky.social @pokedaduk.bsky.social · 14/12/2024
Back to TeraPalk for the Horsham challenge today and redeemed myself slightly with a 3-1 finish, ending up in 3rd overall. My loss felt very out of my hands due to being a brickfest in a BO1 but there were probably things I could have done differently. We move on.

Terrible performance with Ceruledge/palk at Crawley challenge tonight. (10th of 12). A combination of bad matchups, bo1 and some truly awful prize checking in r1 led to a 1-3 finish. Maybe it's time to put this deck away?

3rd at Daydream cup with Ceruledge. Sounds reasonably impressive but there were 6 masters so only 3 rounds. I also played against the only junior and only senior. The new tournament structure has killed local cups and challenges, I remember when they were regularly 30+ events

Changes to Arceus League + the Ranked Ladder in Pokemon TCG Live: Once you reach Arceus League you'll go from earning Rank Points to competing in an Elo-based ranking system, which calculates your skill level and adjusts after every match. Meaning: Someone will be the #1 player in the world.

2nd at Brighton challenge with Ceruledge. The deck did what it needed to do in the 2 prize matchups, but couldn't cope against ancient box. Always a problem when you take a deck with polarised matchups. I didn't think anyone would bring a single prizer. So it goes.

I don't know who decided that getting no points for a win after hitting arceus rank in #ptgcl was a good idea, but somebody needs to tell them they were wrong!

3rd out of 17 at Crawley Challenge (4-1) with Jetpalk. Played pretty poorly in most of my rounds and didn't get punished until the last round when one wrong energy attachment and the inability to find 1 of 3 jet energies in 4 turns cost me dearly. Just a challenge though, so we learn and move on

3rd at Crawley challenge with Jet TeraPalk. 4 rounds BO1. I finished 3-1. Deck did not function in my losing game. Iono'd myself to essentially draw pass for 3 turns against Bolt.

Tickets for Birmingham regionals go on sale next Wednesday at 7pm. My first (and only) regionals of the season. I haven't had to do the "on the dot" ticket purchase for a while. Can't say I've missed it!

I'm enjoying the early days of a new format where you're trying out all the new cards and archetypes before reaching the inevitable conclusion that everything is pretty bad and resorting to the same old tired meta decks

pokedaduk.bsky.social @pokedaduk.bsky.social · 02/11/2024
2-2-1 with TeraPalk at Portsmouth cup. 18 players and about 14 different decks. This meta is just crazy. Could have played quicker and better, but working out 8 card combos is hard. Maybe the noctowl engine isn't for me, or maybe I try and go too combo heavy t2?

1-2 at Dice challenge. Bo1 and losing every coin flip sucks. As does pairing in to the annoying senior with the festival lead deck. Again!

Went to a double surging sparks pre-release this evening. Managed to get the magneton+ancients deck in both and pulled the same full art kyurem ex in the box packs in each one as well. I'm calling shenanigans. The magneton+ancients deck is terrible btw

2nd at Shoreham challenge going 2-1 with TeraPalk. Made some pretty insane plays but also some terrible game losing mistakes when it counted most. Love the deck, but need to learn to play better!

Last nights league got me thinking about building a GLC deck. I've spent my lunch break looking for the full art Colres that I could have sworn I had in my expanded deck years ago. It is nowhere to be seen!
