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!

Expanded Deck of the Month #48: Double Bunny Vileplume
(Each month, a thread on a new Expanded deck)
Phantasmal Flames is out! One of its most interesting cards is Mega Lopunny ex, a very efficient attacker. Let's fit in in a Vileplume shell!

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

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!

Btw I made top 8 (at last season's Dortmund regionals (but they lost the top 8 playmat so I've spent a year trying to get them to give me one and I finally got it today))

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

On my way to the airport. I had a great weekend here in São Paulo, thanks to all the people I got to spend time with! I was also really happy to meet many local fans who I wouldn't see otherwise. See you next year, Brazil!

I really wish Pokémon would give explanations for their DQs. The rampant speculation about Gabriel's DQ hurts much more than just saying "here's what happened".

By the way in this photo I'm playing Ceruledge with no 2-Prizers except Ceruledge ex itself. It's absolutely insane and one of my favorite decks in the format. @oishiiokazu.bsky.social made a video on the deck: youtu.be/JsUqor7DeeM?...

Ce genre de merde devrait rendre unanimement tout le monde fou/folle de rage.
Les institutions françaises qui ont encore des comptes sur cette piscine de pus devraient les fermer immédiatement.

I love how Liam Halliburton is playing the finals of Las Vegas regionals right now. The matchup is terrible but he's still playing to his outs until the end, which is what I want to see in such a high stakes match.

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one
