Middling day 2 finish with pultnoir. Didn't want to run back Gholdengo so decided to default to this instead. 2 Dusknoir is really good!

Very late to post, but this is the deck (almost same 60) I and a few others played at worlds! We played Chansey for similar reason to Togekiss, but to deny the opponent the ability to interact with it. Academy at night is broken!

Really disappointed with my finish at Worlds this year. Deck was good and has some people in day 2, but I was punished for my small mistakes. Cheering on those in day 2!

If I had a nickel for every time that the same 60 card list made finals of a regionals in Portland I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Not sure how to fully describe my thoughts on recent Standard. For one, deck diversity was good. There have always been numerous "good" decks, but it's been a while (maybe biased) since so many decks could be considered tier 1. Etern, pika, lmz, adp, fire, mew3, urshi... 1/?
