@TasiekYT @RealJohnWalter Cmon, I’m not that old 😂

Season Recap:
860 points
4th in Poland
54th in Europe
179th in the World

Started the season very late and badly, but was able to turn it into the best season of my life and qualify for Worlds for the first time. I am extremely happy with the outcome and my growth as a player.

Overall 8-3-2 in Turin for 96th place with Lopunny Froslass.

While blowing 6-0-2 start feels bad, I didn’t have time to prepare properly for the tournament so I took my comfort pick and I expected it to go way worse so Top128 is great.

860 points this season, time for Worlds!

6-1-2 in Turin with Lopunny Froslass! 🐰❄️

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

I will add a full report later tonight :)

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

Top 256 with Lopunny Froslass. I lost two rounds due to my deck building, two rounds because of my opponents’ deck building, and one round from a huge whiff.

Not the finish I aimed for, but with this result I should secure my Worlds qualification.

+60 points (780 now) +18 packs

Got into phase 2 of Utrecht Regionals with 5-2-1 ❤️ Lost to Arboliva after double brick from Unfair Stamp and incredibly cooked Alakazam list. Took ID last round to be safe.

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

I updated my guide with analysis of LA’s metagame and the deck list I will be playing in Utrecht!

Good luck to everyone playing this weekend!

@soL_359 Why Survival Brace over Enriching Energy or Hero's Cape?

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@Drtentacles1 @SethR34 @fullofhearttt If you open with it going second, you can "retreat" while preserving the energy by using the first attack.

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@PaytonStay Congratulations! 🎉

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@Beesechurger09 @SethAdams1008 Free retreat is nice and offers you some flexibility during your turn. It is not a major deal, but often 60 hp doesn't matter at all, or you can easily play around it. Playing 4x 70 hp is totally fine.

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@Neo7hinkerVA Starmie definitely have a lot of potential in the current format. I am not sure if we can add it to the deck without cutting too much into consistency and other plans for mus. We probably need to observe for a little longer to see how meta develops.

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

Tank Mega Lopunny & Froslass got me to 25th at Prague Regionals, and I’ve now released my Metafy guide.

Covering:
• deckbuilding theory
• card roles
• matchup plans
• future options

I think the archetype still has unexplored potential.

@W1lv3r7 I think this deck depends more on how our Western metagame will develop with the cards currently available.

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@W1lv3r7 While it is impossible to say for sure, the only potentially threatening thing that Chaos Rising introduces to the metagame is a rise of Tera Greninja ex/Mega Greninja. On its own, it shouldn't make this deck not viable.

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@IvanBuc55 Already answered on metafy :)

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@SethAdams1008 If there's enough interest - sure! For now, I am more than happy to answer questions or discuss the deck here or in DMs :)

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@Kobas_08 @TasiekYT @niekumati I wrote a Metafy guide for the deck. It's 10000 words of my thoughts, matchup plans and strategy for this deck. You can find it here:

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

25th in Prague Regional Championship. The deck felt great and caught many opponents off guard.

The metagame was a Wild West and feels significantly worse than pre-rotation.

Shoutout to @Kobas_08, @TasiekYT, and @niekumati for waking me up in the morning so I don’t oversleep.

[Krzysztof 'Irius' Figas @Irius_here]

@MatteoBo00 @Kobas_08 @TasiekYT @niekumati Yes :)
