hey folks! seeking help in reaching someone at squarespace. squarespace's inaction and refusal to help the family of justinbasil regain access to his account over the past several months is currently jeopardizing his domain, and it may expire if nothing happens soon. (1/6)

Grats!!!

@Da_L0c Metang with what 👀

[Mikela G. @optimal60]

@Plinkydinks Really interesting idea. Sadly it is resource intensive for low payoff even if you get all the energy down. Joltik is one of the few decks that could attempt this tech. For a 4 card commitment, you'd usually rather use an attacker like Raging Bolt to knock Dragapult out.

[Mikela G. @optimal60]

@laironLair It's important to continue debunking stereotypes about gender in card games. Indy top 4 was wonderful for that.

Historically, the concept of gathering friends together to play with cardboard has never belonged to only one gender. Example: underground Poch in the 1500s-1800s

@jungle_dumper Thank you Mega Venusaur Ex

[Mikela G. @optimal60]

Dragapult? Dethroned.

@PokeDuelsTikTok @T_Blatt I love tinkaton but they need to print her a good attack

[Mikela G. @optimal60]

@shroomyvree Incredible cosplay, dm'd.

Amazing start to the Indianapolis Regional Championships! @hegstertcg

[Juancho | PrimeTimeWizardTV @PrimeTimeWiz]

My new favorite moment on stream ever! We were only supposed to play on the table to help with a dry run for the graphics but they decided to mic us up and I wasn't expecting them to use the footage! So amazing I get to share this experience with my kid 😭

[Tablemon @tablemon]

Loved seeing @CerysJonesTCG dominate Dragapult on stream and focus on how to exploit its weaknesses as opposed to complaining about how broken it is. Top player mentality.

Alakazam might be leaving the fraud list after today 🤔

[Khaos @KhaosWarlock]

Got the second cup dub today with my goats okidogi and mega lucario. Turns out all okidogi was missing was hitting big numbers. Huge shoutout to @DougySmooveTCG for a great finals and the rest for HorseHold. This is my last event of the season so I’ll do a season wrap up soon!

[Mikela G. @optimal60]

@Plinkydinks Thank you!!!

Anything you're hoping to see out of the weekend events?

[Play! Pokémon @playpokemon]

Dragapult ex on top for Phase 1 of Indianapolis? Daring today, aren't we? 😉
