Clifton Goh's Top 16 Worlds Report with Mew Prime/Accelgor!

Preface

  An overwhelming sense of defeat gutted me as I took a long, hard glance at my final result for the World Championships. My total swiss score was an utterly abyssmal 1 - 6. Yes, 1 win and 6 losess, putting me at the 2nd last of the pile. The putrid stench that I felt hanging around me and engulfing me for losing this many games at the most prestigious (arguably) event of the year for Pokemon TCG felt like a shameful burden to bear. Nay, scratch that... it IS a tremendous burden. A truly unpleasant and unforgettable experience it was then. Its excruciating effects on my ego will never leave my side should I ever deign to recall this rueful day. This disgraceful mark on my Pokemon journey will forever be a blemish unto my name as a player for as long as I walk the Path of the Trainer. Even the very fact that my losses were against some of the very best in the business provided zero comfort. A loss is a loss, a failure always a failure, and being an utter disgrace to myself, my community and my friends who spurred me on and helped me was the only morbid reality I knew of then.

Sigilyph: Dragons Exalted card analysis

Hi guys! it is vincent here. i am doing slgilyph card analysis.

I bet most of you are aware this is the #1 or #2 anti-ex pokemon beside buffloant. As you can see from the photo on the left, the ability prevents all attack/damange/effects from ex-es.

This prevent darkrai from night spear-ing, during both active and bench. Mewtwo will have a hard time against it because of weakness. And it's psyhic attack is good against pokemon that have 3 or more energy attached. (80 damage with 1 psyhic and 1 dce).

Note that it is all effects means it can't be burned from entei ex.

One retreat cost makes sigilyph stronger. Being a basic pokemon, it could make use of skyarrow bridge for free- retreat. 

I personally think that sigilyph promotes usage of stage 2 pokemon. Giving more varitey of pokemon to be used unlike HGSS on where most decks runs with massive ex-es. At least it gives everyone a chance to form a cheap deck to against expensive-ex-es decks.

Okay guys, i will sign off here. have fun in dragon series.

PS* recently i play against japan meta hydreg-drakrai and my deck was totally destroyed by it. twice to be precise. nvm i will think ways to counter it. hope to see you guys soon!

Random #1

Hey guys, been playing around playtcg and was kinda bored. So I decided to write up on a short post and its about this pokemon from the latest set, Aggron

Deck Analysis: Terrakion BW on

 

Its been awhile but here is our deck analysis. This time it is about our old friend, Terrakion.

Dragons Exalted Pre release

Heyo everyone,

First of all, sorry for the late pre-release report due to school commitments and stuff.

Okay, i went saturday pre-lease at Bukit Batok(Singapore). Everyone was pretty excited about the new booster. We predicted the draft will go be manual energy attachment and ex-domination.

Before opening my 6 boosters, i was praying hard for registeel ex FA because i need it for the up coming deck i have been forming and testing. And by pulling it, i could save some money!

To my surprise, I did actually pulled a registeel ex and 1 hydregion.


In this draft, some core cards are required to make your deck consistent or slight advantage,


If you start with emogla you can simply call your ex-es or support pokemon.
Stunfisk can easily deal 20+ 20 damage with 1 energy
Bouffalant can deal 120 damage to ex-es.
Giratina can shear 90 damage and whack through sigilyph.

I did a steel and fighting pokemon with registeel ex, emogla, throh, 2 durant, 2 yanma. I dont have a single 1-1 line pokemon so i had to stick to my registeel ex as finisher.
First game i had a 1-4 prize lead because my registeel ex knocked out 3 of his 60 Hp pokemon. However the  giratina ex FA he had knocked out my registeel ex, and i knew i can't recover from the knocking out of my ex. =(

the rest of the 4 games i won easily due to starting with emgola twice and using throh to knocked out opponents 1 pokemon.

My another 2 booster as prize pulled a giratina nfa and 1 more hydregion. whaoooooo.

general comments about this series - I personally feel that i wouldn't whack so much booster as there are not much useful pokemons and there are no supporters =(. Probably i will buy singles to save up for blastoise =)
ex-es are good, but bouffalant is my best card in format. the trainers wise, tool scrapper open up options because eviolite has been "annyoing " to most because zekrom 130 with eviolite is a tough nut to crack.

okay folks, time to sign off from here. train hard for BW on!
Vincent the creative thor.
