How to Be Prepared for Internationals

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. It is important that this is done so that you know what your are doing. 

4. Sleeves

           You need to make sure that you have a set of spare sleeves in case of a problem, or some get damaged. Go to the local Card Game store (Mine is Snapkeep Games in McHenry Il for example) and buy some, or make sure that you have them. Without them, you could have a serious problem. 

5. The right cards in your Decklist

           This is very important! Make sure that the Pokemon has the RIGHT NUMBER next to its name! One Mistake can cost you games, matches, and basic energy. Vespiquen does not need basic fire in its deck, or basic fairy. Klefki isn't attacking at all. 

6. Be Confident in your deck. 

           I mentioned this before but this is important. Don't change cards at the last minute unless it is super necessary. It almost never works out the way you want it to, and it can also cause you to lose, especially if you did not practice beforehand. 

Overall, it is important that you use these tips to have fun at Internationals in Indianapolis, Indiana. Good Luck, and if anybody has a comment, put one below. Thank You!

Burning Shadows Prerelease

Burning Shadows Prerelease Hello Everyone,  Today I went to the Burning Shadows Prerelease at Everything Games in Buffalo Grove, Il. It was a lot of fun, and I went 2-1 in the tournament. Below is a picture of the Deck Box for the prerelease.  What I pulled:  Today I pulled a Full Art Goliospod GX and a Secret Rare Multi Switch. They were both cool. Below is also a picture of the packs that I had for the tournament.  What I played:  I had played the fighting types that came with the deck, plus Mudsdale. Here is a picture of my deck.  Tournament Report:  My first round I lost barely because my opponent topped a heads on Super Scoop Up. So I lost because of it. My second round came down to a top deck and luck. I used Mudsdale to win, and used Kick away and escape rope to win. My third win came from Crabrawler and my opponent could not do anything to win. Overall:  Overall, it was a lot of fun. This set is good for pulling cards. Please follow me on this

Internationals 2017 Experience

Internationals 2017 Experience Hello everyone,  Today I am going to be talking about how the Internationals at Indianapolis went for me. It was good, but there were some parts that could have been changed. So, I will go into detail and talk about what was good, and what needs to change in order to make Internationals better. Be sure to follow me on this blog, at  playerpokemon.blogspot.com Tournament Itself:  I piloted Espeon Garbodor in the event, and I did well in Round 1, but lost later on. The deck didn't get me what I wanted at times, or things wouldn't work out. I went 4-5 in the end, but the article isn't much about it.  This extended to side events too. One game I went against Lycanroc Zygarde and I started with a Drampa GX tech. That didn't end well. There were also a lot of Zoroark decks.  Even though I didn't do the best, this article is about the experience in going. I have been to several Nationals before they became Internationals. I

Burning Shadows and the 2018 Format

Burning Shadows and the 2018 Format Hello Everyone,  Today I am going to talk about the new set that was leaked on  http://www.pokebeach.com/2017/07/english-burning-shadows-set-list-and-spoilers . It details every card in the set.  I am also going to talk about what cards will be good in the format, as this is the newest set going into the 2018 Season.  I will not post reprints in this article, unless it is a meme or something.  First the Good Synergy Cards:  Goliospod GX:  I think this card is good because, like Caleb Gedemer on Pokebeach mentioned, it is good with certain cards like Zoroark. I like this combo with Zoroark because it is very good at dealing damage, fast. It can be partnered with Float Stone (In Breakthrough) and with Max Potion (Guardians Rising) to maximize potential.  It only needs one energy to do its best attack. Many people are using it with Guzma (Burning Shadows, It's ya boy too). Or even with Olympia (Generations, Also not your
