This video is one of the best examples of why we all play the game, the friends and relationships you meet and form are unforgettable and in my opinion, the best part of the game! Seeing all of you check on each other between rounds and support each other, the chemistry here is probably the most wholesome thing I've ever seen! Congrats on top 32!!!!
I miss playing in events like this. I did with yugioh and top 8’d several regionals, never Pokémon, but the atmosphere is just so amazing. I only play Pokémon casually but I love your videos and CONGRATS ON THE TOP 32 THATS INCREDIBLE. Especially with a somewhat rogue deck. I used to love seeing rogue decks succeed at yugioh tourneys and Pokémon generally is a lot more matchup/luck based so super cool you built a deck that could compete at that level that most people didn’t even consider. Well done 🎉
I haven't really followed the scene (at all in fact), except just recently when I came back to playing on PTCGL. Before that, it's been 2 decades since I last played actual Pokemon cards. This run/vlog of yours is an inspiration! Especially to someone who now has a lot of responsibilities as an adult & parent -- to just follow your heart & what your gut tells you to do.
Thank you for all of the content. You are the reason that i started playing pokemon. I collected cards during gen 1 but didnt know how to play. I have been playing Miraidon ever since you debuted it while streaming. Thank you again
I’m a beginner and a novice to PTCG and I really really enjoy your videos! Congratulations on your finish at Worlds! I absolutely love Japan and glad you had an amazing time reconnecting from your time there a long time ago! I’m just playing with friends and occasionally on PTCGL. Love my Chien-Pao, Garde and Mew VMax decks. Keep up the great content!
Yesss! The video I’ve been waiting for. Congratulations. A phenomenal performance with a unique deck… that’s what this beautiful game is all about. An absolute joy to watch. Thank you, Andrew.
I'm super proud of you and how far you went. Gave all the Miraidon fans, including myself some inspiration. Sorry for the late reply, just now catching the whole vlog.
Look, i am not even the best Pokemon TCG player around, and sometimes i do not care if i win or lose in an official competition in my local town, but it's the event, the community, the friendship of Pokemon TCG, the collecting, trading, buying and selling, sharing with ranmdom strangers about deck tactics, anything Pokemon related, is what have kept me in the Pokemon TCG for 20 years. This is why i am in Pokemon TCG.
Man, I'm 27 and fell in love with pokemon this year. Could never watch it growing up because my father thought it was demonic lol. Getting into TCG and watching the matches, really brings me joy to see other people do well and to just be happy placing where they do! If I ever get the chance to compete, I'm taking it! This lifestyle looks so amazing. Congratulations, broskii!
what an awesome story man. This was super fun to watch with all the emotions and high stakes you went through in the tournament. The reactions with your friends and family were also so wholesome. Great job my man
Ever since I was a kid I always wondered what being at one of these tournaments would be like - thank you for sharing your experience through the highs and the lows, it felt like I was there!
Hey brother, first of all congrats at Worlds! You placed amazingly and are definitely a massive name and influence in this community. Secondly, dude you were not kidding with this deck. I imported your deck to live and only changed like 2 or 3 cards and I kid you not, I went from rank 640 when starting, to then playing ONLY this deck and I have now climbed to rank 1,000 on the ladder in only a couple days. It's INSANEEEEEEEEEEE!
Yooo Congrats! So excited that you had a great time and made it to top 32! This vid is awesome and reminds me why I love the game and watching the channel. My partner and I got to go as spectators, and were looking out for you to say hi, but only managed to catch you with a wave as you were rushing off for a start. Excited to see the back of our heads in the vid 😂 Wish we could of met you properly there, but hopefully another time. Thanks for all you do, and congrats again. Also, we have a zoomed in photo of the back of your head versing Tord if you want to add that to your Worlds photo collection 😅
About the Sponsor- Hes totally right. i've Struggled with finding good sleves, things like ultra pro and KMC were alright for binders but i didnt like them for play. Watching the tabletop videos and seeing that dragonshield was always used, i ordered some and i easily prefer them to anything else ive used. they're amazing for play and collecting!
It was so hype following your worlds journey, after every round watching the discord waiting for the match updates it was crazy! And Congratulations on top 32 and the new Dragon shield sponsorship.
Really great video Andrew. Your Darkrai VStar & Galarian Moltress V video is what got me back into the TCG and now I'll be attending my first regional in Peoria! Thank you for the being a really great person and congrats on the placement, must feel really great.
31:35 look at this beautiful FLEX 💪LOL It was great to see you on stream, awesome to see you make it so high again, and as always loving your energy in these vlogs! Viva MIDraidon ex 👏
I started this tcg a month ago, and has feeling in love with Miraidon. Your guide helps me a lot. Glad seeing you play the deck at the world event :)
ปีที่แล้ว +3
I play the pink diamond dragon shield sleeves! Those sleeves are so amazing and the sparkle pink just set off the look too! Great choice and congrats on 21st place!
Congrats on the top 32 finish my man, was so happy to see it happen in real time! Was nice to meet you for once too, hope you keep killing it in these events and on here with the channel as well! :)
That deck box handling in your round 5 clips was sick. You should plug the DS nest boxes more theyre best in the game! Had no idea you could open them on the magnet hinge like that so smooth.
You are such an inspiration man!!! I am so happy to see Miraidon hitting it so high! 👏✨ Can't wait to see everyone talking about your performance for YEARS to come~!
First of all congrats andrew on such a good tournament run in such a big event. I am so happy to see u finish a tournament this big in a top ranking way. Also i missed ur vlogs so much. The quality of this content is top notch. Loved every single minute of this video and m so stoked for ur future content..
Brotha congrats at worlds and great job with this vlog.I got a league cup today and miraidon is a consideration to take especially watching this vlog.I did some games on live with it, felt great.Gave me big inspiration my guy
Dude, that's fucking sick!!!! Listening to how you placed with your deck is awe inspiring. You did an amazing job. Kudos for all of your hard work and I can't wait to see your continue grind to being the very best. All my love in Iowa
Awesome! Happy you did so well and enjoyed the trip!! Liked this deck since you first made it! I'm having a hard time against the new Alakazam and Charazard deck. Feels like a 40% win rate.
You did great, Congratulations! Perfect video showcasing your adventures. Hopefully in the next few sets, some cards could really boost those electric decks even more.
I've been building a miraidon deck for weeks (before worlds) and my final decklist was really similar to yours, and, as a new player, makes me happy that i could build something similar to a really well positioned deck at worlds
Im heading for a tournament tomorrow and one thing I do predict and expect is mew. My submitted Miraidon deck list has the Drapion, fortunately as I always expected it to be a popular pick. Also its funny, I didnt realize that the deck I studied to make my own, was actually yours. Its a fantastic deck! Sadly I had to remove my favorite chard that made me pick Miraidon in the 1st place (Vstar Zeraora) UPDATE : The event went amazing. Sadly I got 12th place only, which is pretty good already. The anti mew changes did phenomenally well, but lost due to a mistake that lead to judges calling a game loss :( otherwise I'd have a good chance to win the whole thing
Just got into TCG and found your channel. Really like the ingenuity of your deck. Copy your mil deck and got all the cards from the Full Grips Games. Hope you don’t mind I copy your deck
It’s always been clear that Jesse is a righteous dude. But it’s even more clear here on how he reacts with another group member having success despite his run falling short.
Congratulations Andrew! The vlog with explanation was so good and seeing you being so happy has brighten my day! I'd love to play the deck, I wanted to play Miraidon since it came out but I'm so scared of Turbo Lost Box knocking out my two sheep. What's your way to deal with that?
Amazing job! Happy to see you put in work with Miraidon. Been having fun with decklist online. Looking forward to vlog 2! You mentioned potentially putting in Drapion for Mew VMAX matchup. What would you have swapped out?
so ive only really beed to like 2 regionals for fun for pokemon and i some how finished with a winning record......i use to be "professional" yugioh player with 2 top 16 at their sjc/ycs which are the big style yugioh tournys but my biggest accomplishment was that i had a yugioh friend i know he didnt have a declk the day before the tourny and came to me and asked me if i could build and teach him the deck i was specialized in which i built him a very different style and version of the deck. well both decks i made which he ended up getting top 8 and he gave me half the prize support for helping him out. i also had the luxury of being ona team with a teammate who got a worlds inv with top 2 at nats in america. this was on the mid to late 2000's when i stopped due to life i went to one regionals to try to get a nats in inv which i got and was going to go but my grandmother who raised me with my aunt ended up in the hospital fora year and half or 2 off and on that whole time was a big blurr to me now and my nats funds went towards the case of my grandma if she was going to die and did. never played yugioh irl again
Congratz on your top 32 placement and for bringing such a different deck to worlds. Seeing all that Mew VMAX and Lost box this meta is such a yawn fest, I can't wait for those cards to rotate! Also question, what's the primary use being the Zeraora tech? To pick off specifically Archeops? or other lightning-weak evolution mons? I've seen my opponent use them before and all they've done is sit on the bench.
The kid trying to get your attention around 10- minutes was so nervous and tried twice but failed to get your attention it was so sad to see.
❤I feel sorry for him
Ye, can’t do much, probably loud plus he’s recording and talking.
This video is one of the best examples of why we all play the game, the friends and relationships you meet and form are unforgettable and in my opinion, the best part of the game! Seeing all of you check on each other between rounds and support each other, the chemistry here is probably the most wholesome thing I've ever seen! Congrats on top 32!!!!
Thanks!!!
Definitely something unique in Pokemon
Andrew: "Maybe Miraidon ex isn't so mid after all."
Also Andrew: Names his deck on ptcglive MIDraidon
Gotta keep people guessing
Well, he did say "maybe"
I miss playing in events like this. I did with yugioh and top 8’d several regionals, never Pokémon, but the atmosphere is just so amazing.

It was an honor to get whooped by your miraidon at the league cup before worlds! Great job man 🫡
I was surprised to see you play Miraidon at Worlds during the stream! I'm stoked you did so well with it! Congrats.
haha aww man the kid trying to get your attention at ~9:50. Lil guy was trying to say hi but tired at a bad time haha.

I’ve been playing with the deck on ladder and really enjoying it! It’s a great matchup against Charizard thanks to the speed and Path use
9:53 / 33:44 "sorry" twice 🤣. congrats on your results andrew. going to worlds again in 2024 hopefully💪💪💪
Thank you for all of the content. You are the reason that i started playing pokemon. I collected cards during gen 1 but didnt know how to play. I have been playing Miraidon ever since you debuted it while streaming. Thank you again
Really great tournament vlog! Congrats on a well-earned finish, and I can't wait to see the travelog in part 2.
Thanks man! :)

That deck box handling in your round 5 clips was sick. You should plug the DS nest boxes more theyre best in the game! Had no idea you could open them on the magnet hinge like that so smooth.

Tricky Gym is the best Pokémon channel in a long time, except the Pokémon international
Awesome! Happy you did so well and enjoyed the trip!! Liked this deck since you first made it! I'm having a hard time against the new Alakazam and Charazard deck. Feels like a 40% win rate.
Was so hype just refreshing the pairings on pokestats and rooting for you all weekend! Amazing video, so glad you vloged this trip
9:46 that fan was trying to get your attention 😅
He was filming
@@sgi5994 yes, I watched the video

Absolutely insane, very well played! Hope to see that hat on stream 😎
You did great, Congratulations! Perfect video showcasing your adventures. Hopefully in the next few sets, some cards could really boost those electric decks even more.
Rip to lil bro in the back 9:50
I've been building a miraidon deck for weeks (before worlds) and my final decklist was really similar to yours, and, as a new player, makes me happy that i could build something similar to a really well positioned deck at worlds
9:46 little bro just wanted to say hi
Glad you finally saw the light with 4 path miraidon lol GGs!!
So happy for you Andrew! You repped our city VERY WELL! #Akron

He's so cracked brother. Congrats on the run Lets get Regional win 2 this year!
I've been a huge Miraidon fan since release. Constantly working and tweaking this deck. Great job on 21st.
Congratulations Andrew! Great Job!!! Well done.
This was real inspirational. I'm gonna quit cigarettes, stop drinking liquor, and kiss my wife. Thank you Tricky Gym.
Dude. You are an inspiration.
The post game interview for round 1 you can see Remi. L stalking Andrew around
Congrats on top 32! Dope video, really looking forward to part 2!
This is so hype! Congrats andrew on your run. Ill be rooting for you this season! Hooe to see more miraidon!
Your list has been working great on Live gonna take it to league next to see how it does.
I love the part where Natalie runs up to Mahone, they're so cute!
Just got into TCG and found your channel. Really like the ingenuity of your deck. Copy your mil deck and got all the cards from the Full Grips Games. Hope you don’t mind I copy your deck
Thanks for supporting the shop!!
It’s always been clear that Jesse is a righteous dude. But it’s even more clear here on how he reacts with another group member having success despite his run falling short.
Congrats! Stealing this list for my challenge this weekend, youre the best
Congratulations Andrew! The vlog with explanation was so good and seeing you being so happy has brighten my day!
I'd love to play the deck, I wanted to play Miraidon since it came out but I'm so scared of Turbo Lost Box knocking out my two sheep.
What's your way to deal with that?
Congrats on the finish! You always do such a great job with the story telling.
awesome video, loved seeing the thought process between rounds
Mi rai don, the nostalgia that miraidon brings to me as someone that loves Pikarom as a deck
what a great video Andrew, really enjoyed it can't wait for the 2nd part
That poor kid at 9:36 to 10:01 got snubbed so bad LMAO. My man was like "Sorry?" ... "SORRY?" And Mahone still ain't hear him XD
this video is so cool I'm so happy you are making Japan videos 🔥🔥🔥
Huge congrats Andrew! And epic video
Thanks joe! 😁
It was cool to see at 1:30 he went to the same attractions in Japan that I did
So happy for you, congratualtions!
Not me glowing every time you walk past the cheering Unite crowds :) For real though your run with Miraidon was amazing!!!
Congratulations! So happy for you!
Amazing job! Happy to see you put in work with Miraidon. Been having fun with decklist online. Looking forward to vlog 2!
You mentioned potentially putting in Drapion for Mew VMAX matchup. What would you have swapped out?
Been playing my own miraidon deck since it came out. Glad it got some representation
POOOOR KID HE WAS TRYNNA SAY HI AND GOT SCARED OFF :( 10:00
Awesome video as always and congrats from Finland 💪
So happy for you . Well done
@3:34 shout out to YT_CaptainJeff saying “Miraidon Path tier 0”.
Lmaooooo
I think at 9:52 that kid was wanting to talk to TrickyGym. Poor kid.😢
He’s in the middle of recording it’s not his fault lol
@@sgi5994 yeah, it would have helped the kid to be more assertive, then again he is just a kid. Could be shy.
It’s really funny how you mentioned how you didn’t want to tie, and I tied against both of the miraidons I played at Fresno
Yooooo I took your list to my locals yesterday went 4-0 got first out of 15 people no one seen it coming😂
so ive only really beed to like 2 regionals for fun for pokemon and i some how finished with a winning record......i use to be "professional" yugioh player with 2 top 16 at their sjc/ycs which are the big style yugioh tournys but my biggest accomplishment was that i had a yugioh friend i know he didnt have a declk the day before the tourny and came to me and asked me if i could build and teach him the deck i was specialized in which i built him a very different style and version of the deck. well both decks i made which he ended up getting top 8 and he gave me half the prize support for helping him out. i also had the luxury of being ona team with a teammate who got a worlds inv with top 2 at nats in america. this was on the mid to late 2000's when i stopped due to life i went to one regionals to try to get a nats in inv which i got and was going to go but my grandmother who raised me with my aunt ended up in the hospital fora year and half or 2 off and on that whole time was a big blurr to me now and my nats funds went towards the case of my grandma if she was going to die and did. never played yugioh irl again
9:55 you can see the exact moment his heart broke
At like 9:42 there was a kid (likely a fan) that was trying to catch up to you to say something!! Hope the kid got the autograph or something.
Great video. I am so happy you had a great time in japan.
Thoroughly entertaining as always
Congrats buddy!!
🎉🎉🎉nice! Great vlog!
How convenient I wanted to pick up the pink diamond sleeves for my Tinkaton EX deck '3'
Congratz on your top 32 placement and for bringing such a different deck to worlds. Seeing all that Mew VMAX and Lost box this meta is such a yawn fest, I can't wait for those cards to rotate!
Also question, what's the primary use being the Zeraora tech? To pick off specifically Archeops? or other lightning-weak evolution mons? I've seen my opponent use them before and all they've done is sit on the bench.
