Alan 🔜 Off Season

Plays the Pokémon TCG sometimes

[Alan 🔜 Off Season @tall_alan]

First season playing Pokémon cards:

151 pts (seems fitting)

Went to 7 challenges, 3 cups, 3 regionals

Would've loved to make a day 2 this year, but fell 1pt short.

Would've loved to win a cup this year but lost in a finals.

Won a challenge!

Made a bunch of new friends 🧡

@starostamp @res_nato Were any of Tord's Zoro V Crust games on steam?

Curious how it handles that MU

@PrizeMapTCG I solved "Tome Time!" on PrizeMap in 2 attempts! Can you beat my time of 6:33?

Okay that was pretty fun!

[Alan 🔜 Off Season @tall_alan]

So many YouTube videos and Metafy classes on how to play a specific deck but little to no resources available for learning TCG fundamentals like:
- sequencing
- prize mapping
- resource management
- deck building
- how to analyze the meta
- board and hand disruption
- liabilities

Okay! We fight back with a slightly different 60 😅

Such a fun new feature on PTCGL!

@sumpokcheng I think so! But also I'm resetting that shit so hard if I switch up the 60

@DadsTCG Great work this year dude!

[Reno ➡️ Home @DadsTCG]

493 points this season - short of my goal of my 2nd Worlds qualification.
5 premier events - Day 2'd 4 of them, earned Championship points from all 5.
9 local events, earned points at 8
9th league cup win after not attending one since 2019.

I'll meet more goals next season.

@thefleeee I do!

I will say your recent tournament videos have been really helpful to think through how to play back from unfavorable spots and matchups.

@zack_dietrick @nk0hli Maybe he can teach me next time we are stuck in an airport to Orlando together for 6 hours.

@Mellow_Magikarp @HarryPTCG I'll check it out! Thanks 🙏

[Alan 🔜 Off Season @tall_alan]

@Rody2k9 So true.

I've bought a guide before from creators I like to support like @TimDanklin but overall, I've found most metafy guides are very specific to one deck during one meta and aren't worth revisiting after rotation.

@PrizeMapTCG Checking it out now!

[Alan 🔜 Off Season @tall_alan]

@squok_ @Celios_Network Okay thanks! I'll check it out!

[Alan 🔜 Off Season @tall_alan]

@PokeDuelsTikTok Oh gotcha. I didn't know that.

[Alan 🔜 Off Season @tall_alan]

@XacPTCG Luckily I have some awesome locals to talk over strategy with, but I want to dive deeper. Would be really cool to pick the brains of top players on one specific topic like resorce management for example.
