I went 2-2 at Riley Wren's 2011 worlds showcase at Milwaukee!

R1: L vs Stage Ones
R2: W vs Prime Time
R3: W vs Magneboar
R4: L vs Yanmega/Kingdra

Lost the win-and-in, but still had a great time! Always fun to play 2011, even when I didn't play a deck with Yanmega (my all-time fav card!)

As a tribute to my favorite deck rotating, I present:

Every card I have ever played in Lost Box.

From SSH-LOR all the way to BRS-SSP.

I got Top 4 at the Good Games league cup with Lost Box!!! This is my best finish ever!!!!!

I was inspired by the LAIC stream to return to my roots and threw this 60 together last night

Shoutout to Anthony for winning and Dan for also getting top 4. Today was a #GGWIN!

MLG (2004)

This is my new list using the Energy Switch innovation from War of 04. This deck is BUSTED! I went on a 20+ game win streak with this list on TCGONE. It's my favorite deck in the format, and this updated list elevates the deck to a whole new level!

I won the Good Games League Challenge with Greninja V-UNION!!!

Tonight was a dream. What a fun way to close out the format. Thanks to everyone for the amazing games 💙💜

Shoutout to Daniel for also going undefeated with Arc/Vulpix! We played for fun, and he won a close one

Rapid Strike has been so much fun to play in tournaments. I thorougly enjoyed every moment with the deck this weekend :)

I knew I would eventually have to hit Lugia/Mew, and it came in the final round. Even as it was clear I wasn't going to make it, I had so much fun watching my Inteleon get bashed for 440 damage. And it was my opponent's first Day 2 as well!

I went 5-3-1 at Peoria with Rapid Strike!

This was EASILY the most fun I've ever had playing in a tournament! Every single match today was exciting, I got to play in my first ever win-and-in, and I wasn't stressed at all during the day. I had a blast all nine rounds 💙

Went 3-2 at two League Challenges this week with Rapid Strike.

This deck is just sooo much fun to play!

Each challenge I played against 5 different decks in five rounds, which is cool :)

Magma (2004)

The iconic archetype to win the first World Championships (in all THREE divisions!), Magma is a low-to-the ground, aggressive force in 2004, and a must-have for any 04 gauntlet.

This is my own list, discussion in replies!

Gardevoir (2004)

Gardevoir is very strong and very fun, punishing large hand sizes while flooding energy onto the board. Basically every Pokemon is an attacker in this deck!

This was my favorite 04 deck for a long time. I highly recommend giving it a try!

MLG (2004)

I am BEYOND excited to have this built! This is one of my all-time favorite decks, yet at no point have I actually physically owned it.

Deck overview in the comments 💙💛🧡

2-2 at League Challenge with 60 random cards. I threw this together last night. These were my first ever games with this deck lmao

W vs Gardy
L vs Gardy
L vs Chien Pao
W vs Chien Pao

Can I please play against something else?

Lastly: My streak of going 0.500 at tournaments this season continues

I went 3-3 at the Good Games League Cup today with Shadow Rider!

Started 3-0 and proceeded to utterly backslide. Kind of sad I whiffed my win-and-ins, but I had a lot a fun playing a cool deck! Finished 21st out of 54 players

I love this list, I really wouldn't change a thing 💜

I went 2-2-1 in my final Worlds 2023 tournament with Arc/Flying Pikachu/Umbreon. I really like this list and felt good about it going into the night, but unfortunately the card's didn't fall my way. I wish the deck had a better answer to Gardy. Seems like they always have everything they need to win

Incredible mail day today! Finally coming back to 2004 after too long. I do really enjoy this format ❤️

MLG is one of my absolute favorite decks, so excited to finally build it!
