Top 16 at LAIC with Gholdengo! Munkidori was a late addition and Ciphermaniac was a super late addition (Thursday night 10 PM with no testing) but they worked out well!
Shout-out to the French crew both here in São Paulo and at home for the support!
+300 CP, 860/1000

Once during each player’s turn, that player may search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it onto their Bench. Then, that player shuffles their deck. If a player uses this effect, their turn ends.

You have to create stories to be good at telling stories. AI can't do anything for you. It's like saying "If you love biking, you will love our bloodstained training wheels for idiots"

3rd place at the important event of the weekend! (the 17 player Expanded side event)
Tied to Gardevoir then beat Regidrago and another Gardevoir! It was nice to play Shadow Rider again.
For those wondering, the two 3-0 players (both French 😎) played Mew VMAX and Shadow Rider!

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
