How to Be Prepared for Internationals Hi Everyone,  Today I am going to talk about what people need to do in order to get ready for Internationals. There are several things that are needed to be done. I will list them off.  1. Practice                                I have mentioned this before and this is vital. Always practice, and be confident in what you are playing. If you are not, then you may fail, and not do well at all.  2. Make sure that you have everything.                  Make sure that you have the gear that you need, such as mats or a hat, as these are important to have. Nobody wants to miss an event with these things because they make for a good memory. Don't forget the sleeves, which I will mention in point 4.  3. Practice                 Keep on practicing....

Being Wary of Changes Hello everyone,  I want to talk about being wary of changes when it comes to deckbuilding.  Everyone should go and decktest. It is what is necessary for a deck to be good. This means a lot of practicing, whether for a league, or a big tournament.  Some people change their deck after one match or two. Don't do this. I'm guilty of it too. If you change without practice, the deck might not work the way that it is supposed to.  If you practice, it will help you decide what deck to use, and how to play it. It will also tell you what cards to use, and what not to use.  Thank you, and if there is anything that you want to add, just comment. 

60Cards.net Blog Hi Everyone,  I posted the last article on 60cards.net. They post good articles regarding the TCG.  I might end up posting some repeat articles from this blog onto the site. That way I can get the message across. 

How to Be Confident When It Comes to Deckbuilding Hi Everyone,  Today I am going to talk about Deckbuilding and confidence. Many people prepare a deck for a tournament, and then decide to change it up, or they change it right after a tournament is done.  Don't do this. I have done this before, and unless the deck did well, or you know you need to change, it might not be worth it. Test it MULTIPLE times also, so you understand what to do with your deck. You will do bad if you change right away without practicing.  There is also confidence in your deck. Some people change after they see what their friends or other people are playing, and will change it. Not many people test it out either, and they fail.  So, what I would do is PRACTICE with your changes. Do NOT change unless it is necessary. If you practice, you know what to do, and it will work out better for you when you enter a tournament. Good Luck!  If anybody wants to comment, post one...

Plays for Internationals  Hello everyone, People are starting to get ready for the newest Internationals Tournament that will be in Indiana. There will be a lot of decks, and here are some that I think will do well, or what could happen. Espeon Garbodor: This deck will see success, at least a little bit. For one Energy, anything is possible. If you don't hit the cards right though, it will be hard to do well. Drampa Garbodor: This is the version that people like more. It does more, and can hit for more. This version should be really good for Internationals. Vespiquen: This deck will do well. As everyone as seen, Michael Pramawat won with it (he was my round 5 opponent in Madison). This deck is very good, as I am testing it, and I think that it can do well. Even if people play against it, it will do well. Greninja: This deck will still do well. It is hard to beat, especially when there are many Greninja Breaks that can use their ability. It defeats Espeon Garb E...

Article about Madison Regionals Hello everyone. I am going to post the article about Madison Regionals to the blog.  Ethan Buck Madison Regionals Review Hello Everyone. My name is Ethan Buck and today I am going to give a review of Madison Wisconsin’s Regional Championships. I have been playing for eight to ten years, and this is my first article ever. I also have a blog on blogger called Player Pokémon News. Today I am going to give a deck analysis, tournament report, and info on the next huge tournament, which should be Internationals in Indiana. The Day Before the Event Started On Friday the 2 nd , my family and I arrived in Madison, but the gaming area was not ready yet, so we went to the Capitol and walked around. It was very fun and worth wile. Afterwards, we went to the venue, and decided to trade in Pokémon Cards. I went with ARG (Alter Reality Gaming), and they gave us a very good deal. They were also very nice, which is crucial at events like thes...
