Notes:

Michael Bergerac:
  • Started 1-2-1 and then didn’t lose until I played Danny [Altavilla] in Top 4. Chimecho is my new arch-nemesis. 
  • Shrine of Punishment decks can’t deal with Lycanroc-GX/Acerola/low Item count. 
Marcus Guy:
  • When Shrine of Punishment decks took over the meta...I added a fourth Stadium and two Acerola. The matchup went from even to very favorable… If I went to Memphis I would have cut one Acerola for a Judge. If you expect to play against a lot of Shrine decks keep two Acerola… 
Bryan Hunter:
  • [Magcargo is] for chumps…
