超梦的力量：代托纳地区赛报告和 Meta 的进一步发展

Whats up PTCGO 商店 readers! Today, I’m going to be bringing you guys my first article talking about Daytona regionals and how the meta has shifted, as well as my tournament report from Daytona this past weekend!

The results from LAIC had a big impact in determining the metagame for Daytona regionals. In Brazil, MewMew, ADP, and ability zard were the three biggest decks as well as the top three decks with the strongest results. Ability zard ended up winning the entire event along with Mewtwos and ADPs taking up the majority top 8 spots as well.

Ability zard 被加冕为 LAIC 冠军，这导致游戏环境发生了很大变化。这是我在 Daytona 获胜后对它的预期。

As expected, ability zard had a larger showing in Daytona, but not as much as everyone thought. Baby blowns instead, was statistically the 2nd most played deck while Mewtwo claimed back it’s #1 spot as many players decided it was the best deck in the format. The conversion rate of baby blowns was by far the worst however as they lost to the Malamars and ADPs in day one competition.

Myself, Tanner Hurley, Jonathan Eng, and Benjamin Branch all decided that we were going to play Mewtwo for the event. We decided this because it had at least a 50-50 vs pretty much every deck in the format except for Malamar. We figured that going 6-2-1 or better would be fairly easy for this event compared to others because of the smaller player size, and the deck’s overall strength. However, we didn’t take into account how many baby blowns were going to show up nor test the matchup. Even though Tanner, Jon, and Ben all day 2d, I unfortunately hit 4 baby blowns that ended up kicking me out of day 2. Below is the list we all played to 2 top 16s, a top 64, and a top 128 respectively.

在为活动选择最佳 60 时，在牌组中使用 Acro Bikes、PokeGear 3.0 或 Jirachi 引擎的决定无疑是最难做出的决定。过去几个月来，人们玩过许多不同版本的 MewMew 列表，我们在决定要使用的牌组的主要抽牌引擎时考虑到了这一点。我们得出的结论是，3 Acro Bike 和 4 Jirachi 是最佳选择，因为在首手牌中使用 Jirachi 可以为游戏的其余部分带来极大的优势。3 Acro Bike 还使牌组比平时更快地变薄，从而为游戏后期的 Reset Stamps 提供了不错的出路。

Since we played a Reshiram and Charizard GX and a Turtonator, Nine fire seemed to work better as well as the Energy Recycle System to get the energies back late game. The two Psychic were difficult to find sometimes if you couldn’t draw into a viridian or just missed them off a Dedenne GX for 6. Three Psychic is a consideration for I would change, however, there wasn’t enough room in the final list to make it happen. Nine fire really helped the deck pick up big knockouts when it needed to, and is something I would recommend to keep in the list for future events.

These 3 cards were all outs to draw important Pokemon in Turtonator, Mewtwo and Mew GX, Naganadel GX, Latios GX, Espeon and Deoxys GX, and Marshadow. Unlike other lists that just play three Mysterious Treasure, we opted to split the count of treasure and Pokemon Communication, as the comm is an extra out to get a Jirachi or Dedenne GX.

Since we were playing a Jirachi engine, Pal Pad seemed to work better than a Mewtwo UNB, as there usually isn’t enough bench space for it, especially with the Jirachis. As good as the Mewtwo is, Pal Pad seemed to fit this slot better in getting back the Welders needed for late game without having to waste a spot on the bench.

In the standard format, Great Catcher is an inherently strong card as many decks play various GX cards that are powered up as the game progresses such as opposing Mewtwo and Mew GXs, ADPs, and Reshiram and Charizard GX. Since MewMew uses a Dedenne engine to draw the cards it needs, 3 Great Catcher suits best, as catchers can be discarded unwillingly as a result of a Dedenne GX.

2 的作用与 Great Catchers 的作用类似，因为只打出一张牌并尽早弃掉 1 是非常关键的，因为这张牌在游戏后期对于减慢对手的速度非常重要。2 印章对对抗 baby blown、doll slow 和 greens 牌组很有帮助，因为这些牌组在游戏后期印章面前更脆弱。

我们没想到 Absol 在 Daytona 的套牌中会很受欢迎，所以更多的 Escape Boards 和更少的 Switch 似乎更为理想，事实证明我们是对的。如果在活动状态下有 Jirachi，你需要撤退才能开始攻击，那么在游戏早期手中拥有 Escape Board 或 Switch 非常重要。

镜像赛是我们在赛事前进行了大量测试的对决，所以我已经做好了面对它的准备。这场比赛背后的想法是，你想尽早使用 Latios GXs Tag Purge 攻击来阻止对手的 MewMew GX 能够一击必杀你，因为它对超能力很弱。然而，我的对手玩的版本与我们想出的列表不同。他玩的是弱点守卫能量和带有标签调用的引擎来设置他的棋盘。如果 MewMew 的设置速度快，这个版本的 MewMew 会比其他版本的 Mewtwo 更可怕。我的对手就是这么做的，在我错过焊接的几个回合后，游戏很快就结束了。与上一局相比，游戏 2 更接近一些，因为我的设置相当不错。最终，我打了 2 个后期游戏邮票，我的对手幸运地抽到了 Dedenne GX。

这场比赛并不特别，因为它实际上取决于奇思妙想的玩家能掷出多少个正面。不幸的是，我的对手在游戏 1 中死牌，没有掷出太多正面，而在游戏 2 中，我以攻击和太阳伊布以及代欧奇希斯的跨部门 GX 攻击压倒了他。这场比赛相当不错，所以我很高兴遇到它。

我知道这场比赛会很艰难。MewMew 玩家被迫快速发起跨部门攻击，以减慢小号吹鸟卡组 (比比鸟) 的引擎速度。在第一场比赛中，我的对手准备得非常好而且速度很快，我无法跟上他造成的惊人伤害，他一击就击倒了我的 MewMew GX。在比赛后期，我稍微扳回一局，但这还不够。第一场比赛持续了很长时间，让我没有足够的时间结束比赛 2。如果我还剩下大约一分钟的时间，我本可以赢得比赛 2，这样我们两队打成平手。不幸的是，事实并非如此，他赢得了比赛。我绝对可以打得更快一些，以避免这种情况发生。

进入这一轮时我一点信心都没有，因为我当天的战绩是 1-2。为了进入第 2 天，我必须从现在开始 5-0-1。我的第 4 轮对手是游戏新手，所以他不知道如何很好地进行对决。如果他知道的话，他就会使用小 Naganadels 攻击我的 MewMews，对我造成大量伤害。相反，他决定全力以赴地使用 Blacephalon GX，但最终没有奏效，因为我能够跳过他的野兽环回合。尽管如此，这是一个快速的 2-0，我已经为下一轮做好了准备。

我记不清这一轮我到底击中了什么，但我最终赢了。

我不太愿意和另一个小爆牌手对战，因为之前的失败让我感到害怕。然而，这位玩家的准备远不如另一位，而我的抽牌也足够好，可以继续比赛。在 1 局中，他几乎没有准备，而我能够用 Solgaleo GXs turbo strike 攻击击败他。然而，在 2 局中，我看到了一些非常糟糕的牌，直到回合 3 才打出一手好牌。我的对手能够迅速准备并利用我不幸的抽牌。这次我打得更快，因为我不想让比赛以平局结束，因为平局对我们双方来说都很糟糕。在我们双方来回攻击之后，3 局刚好及时结束，我得以获胜。比赛后期的印章最终让他败下阵来，他无法从中恢复过来。

这轮我对阵的对手是 Brendan Dixon，他是我最好的朋友。我知道他正在使用这套牌，而且他是一名优秀的玩家。在 1 局中，他能够设置 4 比比鸟回合 2，并很快击败我的 MewMew。由于他的开局很强而我的开局并不强，我无法打破交叉分区，因此他能够赢得 1 局。在 2 局中，我们双方都抽到了相当不错的牌，并且我能够在后期的交叉分区比赛中获得 3 个奖品并赢得比赛。在 3 局中，双方的攻击顺序都正确，并且公平交易。然而，在游戏结束时，他不知从哪里掉了一个 Heatran GX，让我措手不及。在之前的 2 局中，他根本没有向我展示这一点，这就是他能够赢得比赛的原因，因此将我踢出了第 2 天。

这一轮我击败了我的另一位好友 Ray Fernandez。他玩的是 Abilities Zard，对于 MewMew 来说，这是一场相当 50-50 的对决，但 Abilities Zard 如果失败的话，真的会大败。3 场比赛的结果就是这样。在 1 和 3 场比赛中，他没能每回合都使用 Welder，而我却能一击毙命，让他输掉比赛。比赛相当激烈，比赛照常进行。

我不太想再和另一个小怪对战，因为当天我已经对它 1-2 了。第一局比赛的走向和预期完全一致，但在比赛的最后几回合中，我的对手丢了一个 lysandre 棱镜，因此我的 Solgaleo GX 和我的 Espeon 和 Deoxys GX 都输了。第一局比赛结束后，我能够通过尽早将 Espeon 和 Deoxys GX 放在替补席上来解决这个问题，并能够超越他的棋盘。进入 3 局时，我们没有那么多时间，但我们尽可能多地玩。如果比赛再持续几个回合，我相信我就能赢了，但在如此接近的对决中，很难完成整个 3 局比赛。

I believe Mewtwo was a very good call for the event as it was considered the best deck in format and took very close to favorable matchups around the board. Going into San Diego this weekend, players will definitely have to be ready for ADP and Gardevoir & Sylveon GX as they were the 2 big decks that came out with very strong finishes in the end. Going further, I would adapt the Mewtwo list to combat ADP better and have more outs to attack through their Keldeo GX. Thank you guys for reading and good luck to everyone competing in San Diego!
