Carmine. FTW!!

Please please please do this at least once a month for GLC. This was a great watch. I have never seen Hitmonbros actually work. I know it clearly can but this was not a good showing for it.

Charizard absurdly strong

Just a heads up incase you haven’t seen it yet: Charizard still broken

I saw the title of this video and said "no its not!" and clicked on the video, but i guess ill just have to wait and see if it really is the NEW BDIF

What beat is that in the beginning it’s so good 😂

Let the birds fly! So nice to have a strong nightmarch esque deck that is viable. Love the secret bix tech. Going to start testing myself

I'm super excited for you Andrew! I just had my first kid last year and boy it has been an adventure! I hope that your kid is easy on you like mine has been for me. I can tell you that they are the most wonderful little things in the world and the more time you put in and spend with them the better it gets. I hope that you can find a good work/life balance and that the content continues to come. Love you man <3

we get 4 boosters for top4 at a cup and we pay waaaay more than 10€… we also don‘t get any store credits

Premier Pokemon TCG Trainer Division In response to the ongoing world championship discussion, please consider the below restructure. Create a new TCG division that is above Masters. This Premier division becomes the TCG’s e-sports league with a focus on elite competition and cash prizing. Masters becomes the hobbyist’s league with a focus on player recognition. Below discusses the general distinctions between Premier and Masters divisions. PREMIER DIVISION: -128 players. Cannot compete in Junior, Seniors, or Masters major events. -Bottom 32 players relegated at the end of the season. Top 32 players compete at Worlds. This creates four TCG World Champions: Junior, Senior, Masters, and Premier World Champion. -Invites to the Premier division come from top X Masters. -Invites to the Premier division may be offered to the top X Senior players (e.g. World Champion). -Premier players earn premier championship points at majors and ICs. Regular CP is meaningless and does not count towards their standings. Premier players may compete at cups and challenges, but their outcomes have no bearing on their season standings since no Premier CP is awarded at locals. -The Premier season is comprised of only major events and do not include the SPEs. -Since SPEs are cashless, they are only for Junior, Seniors, and Masters and become an event celebrating the hobbyist (think amateur championships in golf). SPEs also bring a focus to competition in regions that have smaller player bases. -Cash prizing is significantly reduced from the Masters division in support of meaningful cash prizing in the Premier division. -Top 64 travel stipend. The top 64 Premier players receive equal money to supplement travel to every major event. Intent is to restructure present day travel stipend funds, not increase TPCI’s travel stipend obligations. -Premier meta becomes more strategic. Premier players avoid round 1 poke-parent meme decks. -The Premier division fits entirely within the current tournament apparatus and does not require any new events. Additionally, there would be minimal, if any, staffing increases (reduce the number of Masters participants by 128 and allocate those tables and judges to the Premier division). -Eventually, TPCI could leverage this professional division as their e-sports league and integrate e-sports types of exposure and revenue streams that would benefit the company and create increased earning potentials for the players. MASTERS DIVISION: -Cash prizing is reduced significantly (e.g. $2k for champion, $1k for 2nd, etc.) but stamped cards and mats are increased (e.g. day two cards, top 64 cards, top 32 cards and mats, etc.) -Top 4 at majors (to include SPEs) receive auto invite to Worlds. -Worlds can remain a CP threshold, but limited to the following BFLs: 3 majors, 1 IC, 1 cup, 3 challenges. This reduces the potential personal funds outlay required by a hobbyist player seeking a worlds invite through excessive travel. Furthermore, those making worlds will have to have had good finishes vice a large collection of middling performances. In conclusion, creating a Premier division creates the environment that recognizes and rewards the strongest Pokemon competitors while also carrying forward the heritage and celebration of the hobbyist player competitor

What do you recommend for players who don't have the kind of rewarding experience that you are describing? I ask because I am the TO for my local league, and has been a challenge at times to get our store's owner to take "incentivizing competition" into consideration when talking about their bottom line. For context, our league is run out of a small toy store in a remote area, with no real game/card stores for over a hundred miles. Thankfully we get the prize pack allocation (and playmats for cups), so we can run free-entry tournaments with at least some prizing. I definitely appreciate you acknowledging the struggle that local leagues can face. I wish we could do things like Full Grip does!

Love the format. Love the players. Solid content 👍

👍👍👍

One Piece Worlds was literally only the top-2 Players from most regions (and like 8 from Japan for some reason). But it made for a good, small and highly competitive tournament. Round-Robin style into a Top-4 Top Cut for the huge prizes. It'd be cool to see something like that in Pokemon.

Play a mill deck next, it's mill o'clock

This game actually seems pretty fun, I’m kinda interested. What’re Heather and Nat’s neopets names?

BRING BACK LCQ

Man while I respect your opinion I kinda disagree. Pokemon has an opportunity to turn worlds into a cultural event. I think they should be looking to turn this into a World Series of poker like event and set up an open event and maybe an invitational event.

great video. i appreciate your content.

Dang I havent fed my neopets in probably 18 years, hope theyre ok 🤟

next we need a heather v natalie battle

Thank God Mr Mahone found his true calling in life and is devoting himself to being a full-time Neopets TCG pro 🙏

VOD of the year (so far)

This is neopets stuff is terrible for tricky gym stocks 😔

Since when neopets are alive?

What the hell is this

ok, now that cassiopea is out, miradon goes and figures out how to actually use that card. so is there a deck that couldve been playing brandon (plasma colress) this whole time, or is brandon just trash?

Can we get the LZ deck list please?

Did J.D. take two prizes from guzlord on snorlax in game one? Shouldn't "unfazed fat" have prevent the effect of the attack?

I really enjoy the light commentary throughout the matches! These VODs chill on the second monitor and I would be completely lost without the little interjections on game states / strategy / hand reads.

Marrone por tudo que é mais sagrado BANA A WAILORD E O INTELEON !!!!!!

We have a house rule where Let Loose doesn't work turn 1 going 1st. My buddy forgot it was a house rule when we went to Indy, he could have made someone big sad

Your tabletop vids inspire me to play the TCG more and more!

Andrew - “Cool that’ll do 0 damage because off Wobbuffet.

Man glc would be fun wish my locals did it

where can i check out these decklists?

Great Content guys! We shall surely follow in your footsteps to greatness!

I love the conquest format and I love the table top VODs. This is one of the main reasons why I watch the channel. GLC is something I would like to get in to in time, but I am a new player to the game (I started playing about half a year ago) and there is just to much card knowledge that I don't have to properly participate and enjoy the format.

The fans demanded it

I love GLC. Even though I have only been playing Pokemon for a little over a year, I have learned a lot from watching your videos and gameplay. Thank you to you and your team for creating such great and fun content. I have even considered coming to FGG just to take part in a GLC challenge night.

The REAL battle we did know we needed Ps: love the tabletop videos

Mahone had the game where he stalled iron hands in the active if he powered up fezandipiti and attacked the benched miraidon while iron hands count move or attack

1:41:12 Flies across the globe are seeing this as a declaration of war. With that being said, what do you have to say Mr. Mahone?

You need a bunch of pellippers in Wings instead of all those 2 pricers and other support pokemon. Sqwuak ok tho. And then an array of 1 off supporters including Thornton. And then use pellippers as mini pidgeot ex’s.

Metroid Prime ane Zelda hyyyype. Love the vid.

Man that comment about don’t turn 30 it’s a time warp. I’m definitely filling that I’m turning 30 in a couple of months and time seems to be speeding up!!

I've watched this video a few times already lol I will say I have always been a united wings fan. It's a lot of fun to play. Although I am the die hard Charizard player.

Love the tabletop videos.

Hey Andrew, I would like to share a deck list I made with you, how do I contact you maybe email?

I feel like the dragapult ex decks could abuse Dusknoir as well.
