Dawning of a new Zard era - Singapore 2025-2026 Season 2 Recap

Season 2 of the 2025-26 season here in Singapore is done and we're straight into Season 3 already with GBLs happening this weekend. But I still wanted to do a quick re-cap of the previous season, where I played Dawn Zard for all but one event, and that one event sure enough was my worst performance of the whole lot because I played Pult Dusknoir, what's new haha.

Dawn Zard exploded onto the scene ever since Nicolai Stiborg's win in Stuttgart back in December, the first event to feature the new Phantasmal Flames cards and also the last TPCi event of the year 2025. 

But Dawn Zard isn't new to me, I've actually been testing it out for a while now and had a list ready for the Premier Ball League back in November, big thanks to Oscar Madsen for helping out with the list and all the times I've been testing the deck the past few months. 

But I didn't get any of my 4 Dawns in time to play it. But I did for the start of the first GBL of the season and I would end up playing it for the whole season. And I think I can safely say it was my best "season" so far since this new format of seasons within a season started here in TPC Southeast Asia.

The Dawn Zard Lists

I tried all sorts of builds of Dawn Zard but these 13 were the ones I put more time with and tested games online with. There were a few others were I tested maybe a few games with but didn't bother to follow up with after a while so I didn't keep my record with them. But for these lists, I've got at least 300+ games recorded on my excel for them!

But here's the first one and this was before PFL was released, just to show the first build of Dawn Zard and what I wanted to play for our PBL:

v1.1 - My initial PBL 2025 list

v1.2 - Stuttgart Winning List

55 Games on Record: 41-14 (74.55% Win Rate)

The base list, the only thing I didn't like was not having Pidgeotto against item lock decks. It was a good list to learn how the deck worked and all the ins-and-outs of the deck and I picked it up really quickly. 

v1.3 - My edit aka the 3 GBL winning list

130 Games on Record: 93-37 (71.54% Win Rate)

Probably the list I spent the most time with, I played this list for 8 of the GBLs I was in and just once in a UBL. I honestly didn't miss the 4th Nest Ball all that much but I did understand needed it for more consistency as I did have a few too many bad starts which got me to change it after a long while. This list did just win the last UBL of our latest season (2.4) thanks to Ian so it still works!

v1.4 - Oscar's fun list that won a Cup

11 Games on Record: 5-6 (45.45% Win Rate)

It was a fun idea but I've got more losses than wins with this deck so need I say more? The Clefairy tech sadly didn't help out the Pult matchup, did help out with stuff like Absol and Khan at least! 

v1.5 - Unfair Stamp build

5 Games on Record: 3-2 (60% Win Rate)

I saw this Unfair Stamp build going around and I had to try it out. I didn't like it as much as the Prime Catcher build, I've just never been a big fan of Unfair Stamp because my opponents somehow always draws out of it so I've never trusted it. I'd rather play a more useful ace spec that helps me win than a card that attempts to help make my opponent lose and usually never does that.

v1.6 - Azul's edit from the winning Stuttgart list

7 Games on Record: 5-2 (71.43% Win Rate)

Anytime Azul GG is testing a deck I like, I'll be paying close attention to it! So of course I had to try out his version of the list. It was fine but again, I didn't really like the Unfair Stamp version of the deck. And my biggest issue with the deck was Ditto just not being Klefki, I was missing it a few times and I never really found the need to use Ditto in most of my games, it felt a bit useless when we had so many outs to get Terapagos ex down anyway.

v1.7 - Jackson's list

11 Games on Record: 9-2 (81.81% Win Rate)

When a top Zard player is talking about the list, you better listen to him so sure enough I paid close attentio to Jackson Ford's guide when he spoke about Dawn Zard. It was just the one change and similar to what I had been running but keeping the Nest Ball and cutting the 2nd Iono. Not sure why I didn't put in more game time with this list, it was doing really well for me. 

v1.8 - Korea winning list

25 Games on Record: 20-5 (80% Win Rate)

I saw the winning list from the Korean League, and saw just one Fan Rotom which made me think....wait why did I do this the whole time?  My first Dawn Zard list only had the one Fan Rotom and it was working fine initially anyway! This list got me very close to a Top 8 finish at the 3rd UBL. 

v1.9 - Trying out Black Belt's Training in online events

19 Games on Record: 15-4 (78.95% Win Rate)

I had seen someone testing Black Belt's Training in Dawn Zard and it got me thinking, was that the missing piece I needed? In theory it felt like a good idea, being able to KO Gholdengo much earlier which can be an issue sometimes and also KOing Absol out of nowhere is always a nice surprise. So I really liked the idea and might explore it more going into the new format. I got 5th out of 289 players in an online tournament with this list, my best "big online tourney" result in a while.

v2.0 - Birmingham Top 8 list aka the one with 1 Pidgey

31 Games on Record: 23-8 (74.19% Win Rate)

So I knew about this change before this event happened as Oscar had mentioned about it. It felt alright but I was a bit worried since I'm playing in a bo1 format and prizing the one Pidgey can be quite painful. After a while I got used to it and it actually didn't feel as bad as I thought, except against decks like Gardevoir since you can't just search out a Jet out of nowhere with no Pidgeot in play.

v2.1 - Merida Top 32 list (Waterpon build but no Sparkling Crystal with 1-0-1 Dusknoir)

4 Games on Record: 1-3 (25% Win Rate)

Ever since I got back from my holiday trip in Japan, suddenly all my friends were on Dawn Zard too but not the one I was playing, they were on the Waterpon build. I had tested it before and never really liked it so I had to try it out again. And well I was right, I still didn't like it.

v2.2 - Toronto 19th list (Waterpon build with Sparkling Crystal, no Dusknoir)

6 Games on Record: 3-3 (50% Win Rate)

I tried out the Sparkling Crystal build and I still didn't like it. My biggest issue was the fact that it was quite a useless Ace Spec and this build felt more like a cheese to win kinda deck. The Munkidori + Psyduck was nice but I still lost to a Pult deck with them.

v2.3 - Toronto 25th list (With Jamming tower)

6 Games on Record: 5-1 (83.33% Win Rate)

I gave up on the Waterpon build, I just didn't like it. I stumbled upon this build with 3 stadiums which made me wonder if that was the answer to my Watchtower issue. It honestly felt alright when I tested it, but I didn't like that this list had no Klefki. The Jamming Tower did come in handy in certain situations which got me thinking of whether I could explore with it more in the future.

 

2025-26 Season 2 - 11 GBLs + 4 UBLs

 As you might remember, I've already spoken about the first few events that happened so I won't talk much about those 3 GBL wins since it's already on this post.

GBL #13 Season 2 @ Dueller's Point - 3rd/48 - 4/1/0 (+12 LP)

• R1 W Gholdengo ex/Lunatone
• R2 L Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex/Froslass
• R3 W N's Zoroark ex
• R4 W Ceruledge ex/Lunatone
• R5 W Gholdengo ex/Joltik Box

List

I thought my R2 loss to Grimm would cost me a good points day but thankfully my opponent did well and her score dragged me up to a 3rd place finish, and 12 more points which helps my points tally and my push for the worlds invite! Every other game other than that one went really well for me. 

After that I missed a number of GBLs because I was in Japan for 2 weeks. So my first one back was literally hours after landing back in Singapore.

GBL #23 Season 2 @ Card Connect - 4th/40 - 5/1/0 (+12 LP)

• R1 L N's Zoroark ex
• R2 W Gholdengo ex/Lunatone
• R3 W Mega Lopunny ex/Dusknoir
• R4 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R5 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R6 W Festival Lead Box

List

This was a bit of a lucky run for me. The first game was not so lucky, I got hit with that racist card Watchtower when I prized one of my stadiums and just got stuck for too long. I needed a lot of luck to win my R3 game and I started off very slow and I got lucky that both my Pult opponents didn't have the best of set-ups/misplayed. And the festival box I had to go outside the box and play very differently to squeak a win out of that one. And thankfully my efforts weren't wasted with another Top 4 finish!

GBL #26 Season 2 @ Deckard Gaming - 3rd/32 - 4/1/0 (+12 LP)

• R1 W Cynthia's Garchomp ex
• R2 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R3 W Gardevoir ex/Jellicent ex
• R4 L Charizard ex/Noctowl
• R5 W Gholdengo ex/Lunatone

List

This was the first GBL in the whole season where I finally made a change to my list, cutting an Iono for the 4th Nest Ball to help with some awkward starts I've been having. This was the first event where I finally lost in the mirror match, but it was to Ian who had also won a few GBLs with the list I gave him, I had a slow start and I just couldn't catch up in time. I once again needed some luck in the last round vs Gholdengo to get the win and luckily my opponent didn't get the Turo he needed.

GBL #29 Season 2 @ Concept City - 14th/32 - 3/2/0

• R1 L Alakazam/Dudunsparce
• R2 W Slaking ex/Pidgeot ex
• R3 W Charizard ex/Noctowl
• R4 L Charizard ex/Noctowl/Wellspring Ogerpon ex
• R5 W Mega Lopunny ex/Dusknoir

List

My worst performance with Dawn Zard so far. I had a complete dead hand vs Alakazam, having to lose 4 prizes after just 3 turns and me not doing much is not a good thing, especially with just 1 iono in the list. My other lost was to the Waterpon version of Dawn Zard, I had another slow start and I just couldn't comeback in time. Just the way it goes sometimes.

UBL #1 Season 2 @ Aloft Novena - 15th/299 - 6/2/0 (+12 LP)

• R1 W Bye
• R2 W Mega Kangaskhan ex/Bouffalant
• R3 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R4 L Gholdengo ex/Lunatone
• R5 L Greninja ex/Pidgeot ex
• R6 W Flareon ex/Noctowl
• R7 W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
• R8 W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex

List

This one was a weird event, I had like 5 bad starts and survived 3 of them. But of course the other 2, I just got done in. The Gholdengo played just drew literally everything they needed and I only got my first prize after they had taken 3, so I didn't really have much of a shot of winning that one. The Greninja game was painful, that hand didn't look that good so I chose not to Iono them and it cost me, and they literally had everything in hand to board wipe my two Manders and it cost me the game and I couldn't comeback from that. 

Shoutout to Klefki for winning me in R3 and R7 games! I chose to play the one Fan Rotom for this event and honestly, other than one game when it was prized, I didn't mind this change all that much...initially. But hey finally my first Top 16 finish at an Ultra Ball League event!

GBL #30 Season 2 @ Deckard Gaming - 4th/32 - 4/1/0 (+12 LP)

• R1 W N's Zoroark ex
• R2 L Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex/Froslass
• R3 W Roaring Moon ex/Brute Bonnet
• R4 W N's Zoroark ex
• R5 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir

List

Another GBL at Deckard, another Top 4 finish but this time I didn't get the points since I had hit my BFL so I needed a Top 2 finish at a GBL to score points. My one loss was to Grimm, again. Another slow start and not much I could have done about it. 

Shoutout to my R4 opponent Zach who gave me the win even though he was in the better spot in that game (we went to time). He does have his Worlds invite already so that was a cool thing from him to do for me. Also another shoutout to Nick for winning this event with Dawn Zard, apparently he watched my video and it helped him out a lot so that was nice to hear!

UBL #2 Season 2 @ One Punggol - 28th/303 - 6/2/0 (+9 LP)

• R1 W Gholdengo ex/ESP
• R2 W Alakazam/Dudunsparce
• R3 L Gholdengo ex/Lunatone
• R4 W Ceruledge ex/Lunatone
• R5 W Gardevoir ex/Jellicent ex
• R6 L Gardevoir ex
• R7 W Gardevoir ex
• R8 W Charizard ex/Noctowl

List

This was the only UBL out of the four I was elected in. I had to use my bye for the first one just to guarantee I could play. Both my losses here really sucked. I dead drew once again to a Gholdengo player, but this time because he used Iono Turn 1 and gave me a hand full of nothing! The other loss to Gardevoir really annoyed me. 

His watchtower came at an awkward time and he played a bit too slow to the point where I was rushing to take cards just to make sure we didn't get a DGL and I think that actually hurt me more as he ended up being in a position to win. Had I not rushed, perhaps I might have been in a position to win the game. Still I rather lose a game than take the DGL, my stance on it is still very clear.

UBL #3 Season 2 @ Nee Soon CC - 10th/300 - 7/1/0 (+12 LP)

• R1 W Gardevoir ex
• R2 L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R3 W Ceruledge ex/Lunatone
• R4 W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
• R5 W Mega Kangaskhan ex/Bouffalant
• R6 W Gardevoir ex
• R7 W Greninja ex/Pidgeot ex
• R8 W Gholdengo ex/Lunatone

List

So going into this event, I didn't even know what to expect since I had been ill for the past week, and I actually had a fever the night before the event so I didn't even know if I could make it! Trying to play 8 rounds and dealing with all those issues sucked, it was not fun at all. So imagine my surprise to go 7-1 while dealing with a headache, a runny nose and coughs! 

My first X-1 score in a UBL but sadly, I only finished 10th because I lost in R2 and my Rounds 6 and 7 opponents dropped immediately after I beat them, can you people stop doing that! Not much I could have done in the R2 game, I just dead drew and my board got destroyed, especially since I prized Charmeleon in that game. The 1 Fan Rotom didn't cost me much but I did prize it one game where I finially realized how painful it can be since I can't search out for Noctowls from it too. Sure I can get the Basics out but without the Fan Rotom, we can't get the evolutions out as well.

UBL #4 Season 2 @ Nee Soon CC - 22nd/300 - 6/2/0 (+9 LP)

• R1 W Joltik Box
• R2 L Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex/Froslass
• R3 W Gardevoir ex
• R4 W Miraidon ex
• R5 W Tera Box
• R6 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R7 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R8 L Tera Box

List

What is it with me and losing to Grimms R2, it's the third time it's happened and once again I had a slow start and because I prized my other Boss, I couldn't deal with her 3rd Froslass and that cost me game. Also my R1 opponent hit a Watchtower Turn 1 which wasn't nice but in the end had to bump his own stadium just to use Bloodmoon Ursaluna which got me the win.

I played the 1 Pidgey list that got Top 8 in Birmingham and while the idea is nice in a Bo3 format, I didn't really like it in a Bo1 format, especially since I prized it in half my games!

The R8 loss to Tera Box hurt, especially as that was the win and in for top 8 and this time my resistance was good unlike yesterday so I knew if I won, I would finally get my first Top 8 finish at a UBL and score more points. But I went 2nd and had a slow start, slow enough that I knew I would be down 4 prizes before I could do anything. And sure enough that's what happened. A few misplays on my part too, especially when I should have attacked with Terapagos ex and not Charizard ex since it's quite easy for him to get Crispin + Vessel to get his Teal Mask Ogerpon set up in time (I wasn't expecting him to hit his 3rd Noctowl in a row). 

That loss really hurt and took a lot out of me, I couldn't even physically move at one point because of how down I felt. I was so close and once again didn't get the job done. But still, to get Top 32 finishes in all 4 UBL events, going x-2 in all of them is a pretty decent achievement I guess. But it just isn't enough for me, I wanted to do more, and I needed to get Top 4 at the very least to be more safer in the fight for the Worlds invite. 

As it stands, I'm now 7th in the standings, 5th of the 8 who don't have the invite already. It may look safe but I still don't feel it is just yet. After my 4th 12 point score, I hadn't added any yet and I'll need to win a few more GBLs in the 3rd season to be in a much safter spot to be in contention for Worlds in San Francisco, which has always been my plan. I didn't bother with the last two Worlds because I wasn't interested in going to either places but for SF, I have to try my best!

And just for fun, I wanted to share my record against the meta decks in this format for the games I have recorded:

Season 3 starts this weekend and I already know Dawn Zard is not in the best spot because Dragapult is about to be very popular, and that's one of my weaker matches. Another deck I expect to be stronger are the Froslass decks, and that's one of my weakest matchups across the board so I might have to start testing other decks to get those GBL wins I need to make it safely to the finish line. Thanks for reading!

3 GBL Wins in 1 Week??? - Singapore PTCG Season 2025/26 Season 2

So I had one crazy week this past week (Dec 14-21 2025). I went from still being on the outside looking in trying to have a shot of making it back to the Worlds Championships for the second time, to having a decent shot of actually doing just that, which as mentioned before, was my hopes for this season anyway. 

I didn't bother much with Hawai'i or Anaheim because they're too expensive but San Francisco is perfect for me, especially since it's the one place in America I keep going to anyway (and I don't have to worry about finding for a place to stay too).

But yeah, I somehow won my 2nd GBL of the season, which is already more than what I got last season. And I won a 3rd the next day. And I won a 4th two days after that! And all that were done with the same 60 card list, that being Charizard ex/Noctowl, aka Dawn Zard. 

The same deck that won the recent Stuttgart Regional (apart from one card) and also, the same concept of a deck I was secretly testing for the Premier Ball League back in November so I was pretty comfortable with it. I ended up playing that for 5 GBLs, scoring points in all 5 and as for the 6th GBL, I was too tired and switched to a different deck and got no points out of it.

The List

Nothing special about the list, except I cut the 4th Nest Ball for a Pidgeotto as an out to item lock stuff, namely Dragapult decks and Gardevoir decks with their Budew and Frillish nonsense. I mean it's not the greatest answers because they can still Iono my Pidgeotto away after I have taken it from a Fan Call but I still need an out to get my Pidgeot ex up and going anyway and that's the best one, especially with the Singapore meta in mind.

Everything else is just normal. The 4 Dawns is the engine for the deck so the 3-3 Noctowl just helps everything to work the way it should and we have our main support in Pidgeot ex and sometimes Fezandipiti ex and the two main attackers in Charizard ex and Terapagos ex. Fan Rotom can take some cheap prizes early on in the game and Pidgeot ex itself can be a good attacker too. And of course we still do have the Dusknoir line to either take a prize or help set-up some big plays, sometimes with Briar in mind.

I've seen a few people trying out Unfair Stamp and Counter Catcher in place of the 2nd Iono and Prime Catcher, I'm personally not a fan of it. The deck is trying to be as aggressive as posssible in most games so we usually don't have time to use Counter Catcher. And I've just never been a fan of Unfair Stamp personally, that card has lost me way too many games it should have helped won me so I'd rather just not play it anymore. Sure Boss and Stamp sounds fun but you can also do Prime and Iono anyway.

Before my first GBL of the season, I was sitting in 17th which was not a bad spot I'd say, mostly thanks to my GBL win at Brick's Play. I felt I hadn't really done well at that point in all honestly, with only one other Top 8 finish and most of my points coming from UBLs and PBL, but they were all single-digit scores so it wasn't good enough for me.

GBL #3 Season 2 @ Mint Condition - 12th/40 - 4/2/0 (+8 LP)

• R1 L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R2 L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R3 W Charizard ex/Noctowl
• R4 W Gholdengo ex/Lunatone
• R5 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R6 W Gardevoir ex

Not the best of start to the season so far, especially starting 0-2 after meeting two Dragapults. Sure the match-up is bad but if I can have a decent start, I know I can beat them. The problem was I had a dead hand both times, and to make things worse, I prized Pidgeotto in one matchup and Charmeleon in the other.

Even my R3 game wasn't looking good at one point, I had a slower start then my opponent but then he made a mistake by using his Dusknoir to take out my Charizard instead of going after my lone Duskull on bench which gave me the opportunity to go for the Dusk Bomb + Briar play for the win.

Everything else after that went smoothly. My R4 opponent bricked and I took a giant lead. My R5 opponent had a slow start for a Pult player and I managed to take all 6 prizes with Terapagos ex! The last game was a tricky one but my Klefki bought me enough turns to make a comeback to win it at the end.

I ended up 12th, the lowest resistance of those on 4-2 purely because I started 0-2 and one of the guys that beat me dropped so I had no shot of making Top 8 here. I still felt a bit vindicated that at least the Pidgeotto addition did help me in my games today.

GBL #4 Season 2 @ Happyland Collectibles - 1st/32 - 4/0/0 (+30 LP)

• R1 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R2 W Ceruledge ex
• R3 W Alakazam/Dudunsparce
• R4 W Alakazam/Dudunsparce

You could tell how annoyed I was seeing a Pult at R1 again but this time, I had one of my better starts, I had my board set-up near perfectly and then I noticed something while I was doing my deck check....where are my Pidgeots? Yup I prized both of them. So I had to change my set-up a little bit but thankfully it still all worked out in the end, and I never did use a Pidgeot in that match.

R2 was looking bad initially, all I had was Klefki and I was praying my opponent didn't have a way to donk me. He went to grab Squawkabilly ex and tried to use it's ability before I had to remind him of what Klefki did. And that pretty much won me the game because I did top deck a Dawn to set up while my opponent couldn't do much.

R3 was Alakazam, a weird matchup. He had a very slow start and prized his Psyduck so my Dusks were able to destroy his set-up before he could get anything going. Not the same for R4, although my opponent was bricking at one point. He had taken an Alakazam but didn't evolve. He had 11-12 cards in hand and I don't know why, I went for an Iono that turn when he had already struggled to get an Alakazam going and that almost cost me the game. 

Thankfully I got my Klefki/Prime at the right time after that Iono to go down to 2 prizes while he was at 4 prizes, and with him getting an easy KO on my Zard and going down to 2, all I needed was to up my 2nd Zard and get Briar for game and I got it from my Noctowl off the Fezandipiti.

There was no 5th round here because the other x-0 player lost to a downpair which meant I was the only 4-0 player at the end of Round 4, which means the event ended one round early as there was a clear winner!

Finally got my 2nd GBL win of the season, and in my head I was telling myself, "2 down, 6 more to go". I knew my realistic chance of making it to Worlds is probably get 8 GBL wins if possible, knowing my luck with UBLs and hopefully a good enough showing at the MBL.

GBL #5 Season 2 @ Mint Condition - 1st/32 - 5/0/0 (+30 LP)

• R1 W Ceruledge ex
• R2 W Mega Box
• R3 W Charizard ex/Noctowl
• R4 W Charizard ex/Noctowl
• R5 W Mega Kangaskhan ex/Bouffalant

First up was against a Ceruledge and he had a slow start and couldn't quite comeback from it. R2 was Mega Box which was a bit tricky, he had some really well timed Penny(s) to make it harder for me to get the KO, Terapagos was the MVP here for setting me up to win the game, as did Klefki.

Two mirror matches up next, my opponent in R3 went first which made things tricky for me. He couldn't get around my two Duskull trap near the end of the game which won me the game. Similar story for R4 but he had a slower start so I got to reach that point much faster. 

The last round was Tank Khan which I knew was a tough matchup, and I saw my starting hand and I thought....welp I'm cooked, no 2-peat for me haha. And my opponent has two Bouffalants and passes! So now I had a chance to try to take advantage of this by setting my Terapagos ex up to take out the first Bouff and hope he doesn't have a way to get anything else down. He got a Stretcher and I had to KO another one. 

Then he top decks Arven to set up his board but by this point, I had taken 3 prizes on just Bouffalants which meant his Mega Kangaskhan wasn't as tanky as it should be and I managed to get the KO on it with Zard + Dusknoir. 

Two GBL wins in two days is just crazy, especially with how variance can play such a big factor in these games, and it being a bo1 format for us here in Asia! I wasn't expecting this at the start of the week, especially with how that first GBL went for me. "3 down, 5 more to go", I just have to believe I can do it.

GBL #7 Season 2 @ Cardboard Collectibles - 11th/32 - 3/2/0 (+8 LP)

• R1 W Mega Kangaskhan ex/Bouffalant
• R2 L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R3 L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R4 W Gholdengo ex/Lunatone
• R5 W Gardevoir ex

R1 was tricky as this Khan Bouff player did manage to set up very early and got some Pennys at the right time to deny me some big 3 prize KOs and they also had a Golduck down at one point! But Terapagos and Charizard did apply enough pressure for me to get the double KOs I needed to win the game.

R2 and R3 were pretty much the same. Both vs Dragapult, both I had a dead starting hand, both I got stuck after an Iono + Budew. Both I just drew pass the whole way with no set-up. Those were really painful, I was hopeful of a 3-peat, I knew it was near impossible with the amount of Pults that day but I still wanted to think I could do it but alas it wasn't to be.

R4 vs Gholdengo was a smooth game for me, managed to get the big KO for game. R5 vs Gardevoir was anything but smooth, I went for a greedy play that almost cost me game but using Dusknoir then Stretcher to re-use it to KO two Ralts and then attacking the active Ralts. I almost forgot I had given her two prizes and with her Mega Diancie, she could easily take her last 2 prizes just from it. Thankfully my Iono bought me enough turns to go for the Prime + Briar for game. Not the best of days but 8 points is still ok I guess, better than most of my UBL and PBL scores funnily enough.

The 2 GBL wins had jumped me up from 17th all the way up to 6th, which is good enough at the moment. If I can stay there for the rest of the season, as mentioned before, it's the top 8 in standings who gets the Worlds invite so that would be the best scenario for me. I've done it once before back in 2023, maybe I can do it again in 2026?

GBL #8 Season 2 @ G28 Trading - 1st/32 - 5/0/0 (+30 LP)

• R1 W N's Zoroark ex
• R2 W Charizard ex/Pidgeot ex
• R3 W Future Box
• R4 W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• R5 W Ceruledge ex

R1 was tricky and not just because it was against N's Zoroark, I finally figured out why people said it was tough to play at G28 as we were sitting outside an you could feel the heat. And also the rain when it started to drizzle just for a bit. My starting hand had 2 Area Zero which was not a good thing as I knew he played that silly Watchtower card and sure enough, he used Iono and put the Watchtower down Turn 1. Thankfully I drew into Dawn and Rare Candy so I could get my Zard up and bench a Charmander to use Blazing Destruction to discard the Watchtower. He couldn't respond to my setup after that turn and managed to win from there but it was looking real tricky there.

R2 my opponent had a complete brick unfortunately so I got to get my Pidgeot and Zard up and took all my prizes as quickly as possible. R3 was a strange one, my opponent flipped over the mini Miraidon that I hadn't seen in forever, it was Future Box! So I knew in this matchup I didn't want to focus on getting Pidgeot up first but instead get the Terapagos up. I managed to get the clean KO on his Iron Hands with Terapagos ex. I was getting ready to set up for my Zards but I saw he was setting up a lot of Grass energies on his side so I decided to hold off and just focus on Terapagos + Pidgeot to get the next 2 prizes and have Zard up to take the final prizes to deny the Iron Leaves play.

R4 was up against Dragapult, the matchup I didn't want to see but I was bound to hit one as of the x-0s left, it was me, Ceruledge and two Pults. Thankfully he didn't get Budew down turn 1 but I also did not get my Pidgeot up Turn 2 with my weird starting hand. The big moment of the match come down to him setting up for a 3-prize on my Terapagos ex and Fan Rotom and I knew I could get around it with Pidgeot ex attacking his Pult with Blustery Wind and discarding my stadium to discard some of my benched Pokemon, I just needed to make sure I got two extra Pokemon on bench to discard the two obvious targets for him and managed to get there with Noctowl.

He did make things a bit hard by Turo-ing his Pult, all I needed was Zard to hit into it for the KO but his other Pult only had one energy on it so a 2-shot was still good enough to get me the win. Thankfully the other Pult at x-0 lost so it was Ceruledge for R5. And that was my 3rd GBL win in 5 days, how is that possible??? 

"4 down, 4 to go!" Now I actually do have a chance to make it to the World Championships in San Francisco next year thanks to these 3 GBL wins coming at the perfect time for me, especially since I'll have to miss the next few ones due to prior commitments (aka holiday). 

Don't really need to mention the GBL at Brints, I decided to change it up and play Dragapult which was a bad mistake, I started 0-3, climbed back up to 3-3 and only finished 29th out of 64 players. I was tired after the G28 GBL and honestly, I probably should have gone home and rest and not play again, which is why I have this rule for myself to just play one event a day because I knew this would happen if I tried to play 2 in one day.

I just hope I had done the deck enough justice with the triple GBL win, I always believed in the Dawn concept before anyone even knew about it. And of course big thanks to Oscar Madsen for building these lists and helping me out initially too! He showed the first version of Dawn Zard back in October and I was already building the same list to try out myself. The man is just goated when it comes to deck building!

And hey I'm still playing Charizard ex which is my favourite deck and has been for the past 2 years at this point. Sadly I won't ever get to play it in a major event again but hey, I might as well strike while the iron is hot and try to give Charizard ex the best send-off I possibly can before it does rotate in April.

And it's not just IRL, I've been doing quite ok with this deck online too with my usual antics on Play Limitless. Sure, I don't have a good result on a big online tournament just yet but I've gotten two wins so far and bubbled out of decent finishes 7 times. I'm not even joking, 7 times! My score with Zard Noctowl online so far is 66-32 which is not bad I'd say, especially with how weird things can get online (a number of these losses are also down to bugs in the game).

I hope I can keep this run going, it's not easy winning these events, let alone trying to get into them! I missed out at yesterday's GBL even though there was a 50% chance to get in. That's just how it is sometimes. I just hope I can play well enough to get the last 4 GBL wins of the season somehow, I don't know how realistic it is but I'll try to get there. I do probably need one good UBL run to help me get there too. 

On a personal note, I've already beaten my points score from last season which was 129, and hopefully I've done enough to better the 32nd place in the standings that I got for the 2023-24 AND 2024-25 seasons. Would be nice to repeat the 3rd place in the standings for 2022-23 but I know that's unlikely to happen. Of course, I could make my life a whole lot easier if I were to somehow get finals at MBL but that is still a long way to go, but for right now these GBLs have my full focus. Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a great time with the upcoming holiday period and a great 2026 moving forward!

Singapore PTCG Season 2025/26 Updates (GBL Season 1)

 I wanted to try something new for this season and do some sort of update post throughout the year to keep everyone updated on what's going on with our upcoming 2025/26 season. We finally got dates for the first events for the first season of 2025/26, which are the Great Ball League events.

As of right now, there's 22 Great Ball League events for the first season. (Updated as of Aug 23)

Great Ball League 2025-26

For those wondering what a Great Ball League is:

• Similar to League Challenge in a TPCi circuit as in
• 4-7 Swiss Rounds only
• Smallest amount of points you can earn from official events
• Winner earns 15 points and also a Round 1 bye for an Ultra Ball League event
• 2nd = 12 points
• Top 4 = 10 points
• Top 8 = 8 points
• Top 16 = 6 points if 33 or more players
• Depending on the size of the event, more players can earn the Round 1 bye UBL
• 16 to 64 = Only Winner earns the bye
• 65 to 128 = Top 2 players earns the bye
• 129 to 256 = Top 4 players earns the bye

And when are these happening?

The first GBL of the new season starts on the 6th of September at Games Haven in Ang Mo Kio and the last GBL of this first season is on the 5th of October at Bricks Play in Toa Payoh (the shop that is closest to me). That's one whole month between the two events.

On a personal note, why the heck are there events on the same day as the Singapore Grand Prix? Come on guys! At least Deckard is near the circuit.

So from the info we have, there have been some changes to how these GBL seasons are being done, so pros and some cons:

Pros:

• GBL events are now held within a 5 weekend period compared to the 2-3 weekend period last season
• Every GBL event is hosted by a different shop
• No event stacking on the same dated

The best new change I think is the fact that these GBLs are no longer crammed into a small time period. For me I always thought it was silly trying to squeeze in 30 events within 3 weekends, it made no sense so to see games happening on 5 weekends are great, more chances for people to play I feel. And this should be the way forward.

Also seeing every GBL being hosted by a different shop is great! The game is growing, the player base is growing and now so are the shops! Before Covid, we only had 3-4 shops hosting League Challenges, and now that number is almost quintupled (5 times)!

And thankfully we don't have many events stacking on the same day which was quite annoying to see last time out, we'd see 5-8 events all happening on the same damn day! At least now it's spread out.

Cons:

• Entry fees increased from $8 to $15
• No event bigger than 64 players

I'll touch on the second bit first, because it's a small issue, but the highest capacity for a GBL is only 64 players which means every GBL event for the first season, only the winning player will get the bye.

The second bit is the one that annoys me, why did it go up to $15 entry free for a small event like a GBL? I can only hazard a guess and think that's because of the increasing prices of these booster packs because of all the idiotic scalpers ruining the game for us, and now their stupidity has affected our events, thanks you bunch of idiots. Sucks to see but not much we can do about it. Heck even the Ultra Ball League entry fees have gone up to $25, which is the highest I've ever seen for any official event here in Singapore.

But no matter the pricing issue, I'm still going to play...that is if I get the chance to play. It's all still lottery based here. But if I do get in, I'm hoping to win one of these GBLs just to make sure I get into a UBL. My goals this season is a bit different to the last two years, aka go for my 2nd Worlds invite. I was never planning to make the trip to Hawaii or Anaheim, but San Francisco is a must for me! I love North California and I have family there so I can make it a trip to see them and hopefully go to Worlds too.

New Promo Cards

And with these GBLs, there's also new promo cards for playing in them and also for doing the best, usually the top 2.

Air Balloon is a great entry promo card, it's very playable and almost every day will likely have 1-3 of it so that's perfect for players. 

Reshiram ex as the top placement promo card for this season puzzles me. Let me just set it straight, it's no Pidgeot ex. It's barely playable and even then, not many players will want this, so why this and not, geez I don't know, Fezandipiti ex or Latias ex. 

But it's not just for the GBLs, we also got the see the new Ultra Ball League promo cards:

Wally is a new card releasing in the new Mega Evolution set and I'll be honest, I don't know much about it as I haven't paid any attention to the new set, but it seems ok I guess? But if we were to have a supporter card, why not Lille's Determination??? That card is already one of the best new supporter cards I've seen released in a long time. Some might even say one of the best supporter cards ever.

Zekrom ex is the top placement card and....I see what they're doing, they've got both of them as their promos this year. Now it makes sense haha. Still, would be nice to see something actually playable as the top prize promo, but that's just me.

And we already know what our Premier Ball League promos are, we've seen them a few weeks back:

I mean do I need to say anything more about Budew? The most played baby Pokémon in the game right now with the most used attack in Turn 1 in the game right now.

And Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex is quite the opposite. All the hype and it was a big flop, never showed up in the meta. Still a cool looking card I guess, it's a Mewtwo! 

That's all I got for the time being, any suggestions to improve on this is very welcome, I'm just winging it at the moment and see how it goes. Thanks for reading!

Singapore 2024-2025 Season - My Season 3 Recap (Just GBL) - No Points Scored

 Here's a summary of how my 3rd part of the season went, just the GBL reviews as the UBLs haven't started. It will start this weekend, and there's 3 of them so things can still shake up in the chase for the Worlds invite. But err spoiler alert, if I thought my 2nd part of this season was bad, wait till you see how everything went down this time around.

Spoiler alert, I will miss the first UBL of Season 3 this weekend in Novena. I have errr....another event to attend to...

Points Standings after UBL S2/before start of GBL S3

I had gone from 11th at one point to now down to 18th and I needed to set up my game. The issue is I had already hit my BFL, and they were mostly good ones too so I had to score Top 4s to score additional points so the aim for this part of the season was to score more Top 4 finishes, maybe a Top 2 somewhere but obviously the biggest aim is to win a GBL.

Winning a GBL = getting an invite to play in the UBL. As someone who missed all 3 UBLs the first season, I know how hugely important it is to get one of these, especially since I might have to miss a UBL event this time around either due to Melbourne trip or San Fran trip either side of the UBL period. I mean sure winning a Pidgeot ex is nice and all but points and the invite means more to me.

I was doing ok-ish. I was happy that at least my consistency has improved from all the previous years. That was always one of my biggest issues and to have just one non-points finish in 14 events is quite a good achievement for what I want to do. The problem is the finishes haven't been good enough, it's usually just the Top 8 or Top 16 area, not higher. That's where I needed to improve. 

This final part of the season was an interesting one too as we start with the new 2025 rotation, aka Scarlet & Violet to Journey Together format! We're now back to the owner's cards from years ago (think the Gym Heroes that era).

Apr 19th - Great Ball League S3 #1 - Rowell Video

Elected: Yes

Deck: Terapagos ex/Noctowl

Score: 6-2 (18th/206) +8 LP (+0 due to BFL)

• L Tera Box
• W Hop's Zacian ex
• W Dragapult ex
• W Miraidon ex
• L Dragapult ex
• W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• W Tera Box
• W Gholdengo ex/Dragapult ex

TankPagos was my comfort deck at this point, I won a big online tournament with it so I knew I had to run it. Deck was still good even with some new changes but being a Noctowl deck, it's bound to have some bad hands and that ended up costing me my games in R1 and R5 (against my own brother too).

Apr 20th - Great Ball League S3 #4 - Deckard Gaming

Elected: Declined but Walk-In Succesful

Deck: Gholdengo ex/Dudunsparce

Score: 3-2 (7th/32) +10 LP (+0 due to BFL)

• W Hop's Zacian ex
• W Gholdengo ex
• W Feraligatr
• L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• L N's Zoroark ex

I had a good run with Gholdengo in the previous UBL and wanted to continue running it. Was trying out the Dudunsparce package and it was ok, wasn't that amazing. A couple of dumb misplays saw me go from a 3-0 start to finishing 3-2 and whiffing the top 4 finish I needed to score more points.

Apr 23rd - Great Ball League S3 #8 - ZoomiesGaming

Elected: Yes

Deck: Gholdengo ex/N's Zoroark ex

Score: 3-2 (12th/32)

• W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• W Okidogi ex/N's Zoroark ex
• L Dragapult ex/Froslass
• L Flareon ex/Noctowl
• W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir

I swapped out the Dudunsparce for Zoroark to see how that would work, and to be fair, the N's Zoroark ex did pull it's weight in the deck, I really liked it. You're always bound to draw into dead cards so now you can just throw them away instead of possibly drawing into more of them from Dudunsparce. Both losses were to my two worst matchups in the whole room, Froslass and Flareon. Both seemed winnable but a slow start cost me any hopes of doing much.

Apr 26th - Great Ball League S3 #9 - Card Connect

Elected: Declined & Failed Walk-In

Deck: Would have played Dragapult ex/Dusknoir

Apr 26th - Great Ball League S3 #10 - Dimension Gaming

Elected: Declined & Failed Walk-In

Deck: Would have played Dragapult ex/Dusknoir

Apr 27th - Great Ball League S3 #11 - Utopia Games

Elected: Yes

Deck: Dragapult ex/Dusknoir

Score: 2-4 (36th/64)

• W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
• W Gardevoir ex
• L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• L Charizard ex/Pidgeot ex
• L Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
• L Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex

Two missed attempts at playing Pult Dusk, I finally played it and well....it did not go well. R3 was a weird mirror match where we both were stuck forever but I misplayed going for a risky play when I didn't need to. Didn't recover from that loss, lost to Zard then hit two Rag Bolts which can be a horrible matchup when they start the baby bolt twice. Also prizing 2 Dreepys or 2 Drakloaks every other game does not help!

Apr 28th - Great Ball League S3 #13 - 1 of 1 Collectibles 

Elected: Declined & Failed Walk-In

Deck: Would have played Tera Box

May 1st - Great Ball League S3 #14 - Deckard Gaming

Elected: Declined & Failed Walk-In

Deck: Would have played Dragapult ex

May 1st - Great Ball League S3 #15 - Concept City

Elected: Declined but Walk-In Successful

Deck: Dragapult ex

Score: 3-2 (11th/32) +8 LP (+0 due to BFL)

• L Terapagos ex/Noctowl
• L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• W Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
• W Roaring Moon ex/Brute Bonnet

Tried the solo version, it felt fine honestly. I still am not sure which one is better. The first two rounds the deck just didn't want to work. It worked the next 3 rounds. It seems more consistent. I do like having Luminous Energy to attach to the Pult line instead of having to find the two different energies for the energy attachment. The Genesect also pulled it's weight in most of the games.

May 3rd - Great Ball League S3 #16 - Agora Hobby

Elected: Yes

Deck: Dragapult ex

Score: 4-2 (15th/56) +8 LP (+0 LP due to BFL)

• W Feraligatr
• L Tera Box
• W Joltik Box
• L Joltik Box
• W Dragapult ex
• W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex

I saw the list that got 2nd in Seville and I liked it so I had to try it out. 17 supporters in a Budew meta does seem good so you're not so reliant on items. The 4 boss was perfect for this list and honestly the 4 Brocks were fine, it helped me set up quicker than my opponents. Well except R2 and R4, two slow starts there go me. 

May 4th - Great Ball League S3 #23 - Utopia Games

Elected: Yes

Deck: Gholdengo ex/Dragapult ex

Score: 3-3 (12th/40) +8 LP (+0 LP due to BFL)

• L Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
• W Gholdengo ex
• W Archaludon ex
• L Joltik Box
• W Gardevoir ex
• L Dragapult ex

Gholdengo and Dragapult? I had to try it out and see what the fuss was all about. The deck has had a lot of good results recently. My games with it....well I didn't get to see how good it really was. 3 of my losses were just down the slow set-up so it was a bit concerning that it happened in half my games. I did go 1st most of the time which is not good for this deck. Bo1 stuff ain't it?

May 6th - Great Ball League S3 #29 - Cardboard Collectible

Elected: Yes

Deck: Joltik Box

Score: 4-1 (5th/32) +10 LP (+0 LP due to BFL)

• W Joltik Box
• W Mamoswine ex/Pidgeot ex
• W Joltik Box
• L Dragapult ex/Dusknoir
• W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex

I just had no idea what to play after so many bad results and thought I should give the Joltik Box a try. In the morning of the day, I played the deck in two online tourneys and it went well so I had to try it out after that but still having never played the deck IRL, I was still a bit nervous playing it.

The event was almost perfect, my only loss was to Noel on Pult Dusk, his endless hand distruption just meant I couldn't set up the ideal board state for the late game to do much. Still, I thought I had done enough to make top 4 after winning my last round but imagine my sadness to hear I was 5th in standings, I kinda guessed that was it for my chances to score any points this season.

May 7th - Great Ball League S3 #30 - Happyland Collectibles

Elected: Declined & Failed Walk-In

Deck: Would have played Charizard ex/Dusknoir

May 9th - Great Ball League S3 #31 - Concept City

Elected: Yes

Deck: Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex

Score: 2-3 (16th/32) +8 LP (+0 LP due to BFL)

• L Dragapult ex
• L Dragapult ex/Charizard ex
• L Tera Box
• W Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
• W Feraligatr

Not sure why I ended up playing this actually. It seemed like a good play, especially with the baby bolt. But the deck did not impress me. It just couldn't do what I wanted it to do, always slow to do much too, could never set up the board for what I wanted it to be. I just didn't feel good with it. I will say it's not as easy to play as people claimed it to be previously.

So that's my re-cap of how my GBLs went for Season 3 went, aka no good. No points added to my account sadly. Still no new comfort deck found either which is a bit scary as I'm playing in the Melbourne Regional this weekend. 

So here's what the standings look like after the 31 GBL events for this season with just the 3 UBLs and the MBL left to go!

Points Standings before UBL S3

It's a tight race going on for the Top 8 spots. Alester, Terry and Jeremy are quite safe I think, since they're all in the 300+ points range. From 5th downards it's a close fight down to 10th. Even those below 10th honestly still have a chance if they win the Ultra Ball League, which is how some of these guys are in the fight to begin with!

And yep there's me, down in 26th. At this point in S2 before the UBLs, I was 11th! I've dropped 15 spots because I didn't score any points since the 3rd UBL from S2. 

Just a small recap of how my Season 3 went, before the UBLs:

• GBL S3#01 - Terapagos ex/Noctowl - 6/2 - 18th (6 LP)
• GBL S3#04 - Gholdengo ex/Dudunsparce - 3/2 - 7th (8 LP) - Declined but Won Lottery
• GBL S3#08 - Gholdengo ex/N's Zoroark ex - 3/2 - 12th
• GBL S3#09 - Declined & Lost Lottery
• GBL S3#10 - Declined & Lost Lottery
• GBL S3#11 - Dragapult ex/Dusknoir - 2/4 - 36th
• GBL S3#13 - Declined & Lost Lottery
• GBL S3#14 - Declined & Lost Lottery
• GBL S3#15 - Dragapult ex - 3/2 - 11th (8 LP) - Declined but Won Lottery
• GBL S3#16 - Dragapult ex - 4/2 - 15th (8 LP)
• GBL S3#23 - Gholdengo ex/Dragapult ex - 3/3 - 12th (8 LP)
• GBL S3#29 - Joltik Box - 4/1 - 5th (10 LP)
• GBL S3#30 - Declined & Lost Lottery
• GBL S3#31 - Raging Bolt ex/Teal Mask Ogerpon ex - 2/3 - 16th (8 LP)

Yes I technically scored points in 7 of the 9 events I played in but since none of them were a Top 4 finish, I didn't score any points since I didn't better my previous results (10 LP aka Top 8 finishes in GBLs), so I went the whole of Season 3 GBLs without adding more points to my account, thus the reason why I dropped all the way down to 26th. 

And as you can notice, I've been jumping around decks. I haven't felt comfortable with any deck in this format which doesn't feel good. But it's quite funny to see that Joltik Box got me my best result when I hadn't even played the deck before that GBL, I was learning it on the fly.

Went to 14 GBL venues this time (11 last time) , I was elected in 7 of them, not elected for the other 5 so I tried to walk in for those. 40% sucess rate when it comes to walking in this time, 2 out of 5 is better than 0 out of 5 last season haha. So now a 64% success rate at getting to play in a GBL, more GBLs meant more chances to play, especially with two of them having 4 or more evens held on the same day so anyone who wanted to play was bound to play! Didn't do the play in 2 GBL strategy again, but this time I actually had a chance to and I didn't take it. Whoops.

Declined rate was 22 out of 31 events, that's a lot of declines man. 70% decline (last time out it was 75%). Which meant I was elected into two other evens that I didn't go to because of time clashes with other GBLs.

Of the 9 events I played in, played 8 different decks for those events, the only repeat being the solo Dragapult deck in back to back GBL events. Scored points technically with all but two deck. Last time out it was just one. Dragapult/Dusknoir made the list again but this time joined by Gholdengo with Zoroark.

Not much stats to share this time sadly because well.....there were so many events happening at the same time, I never got much info for the places I didn't go to. But here's a quick roundown of what the winners are:

• GB1 - Jasper Ang - Dragapult ex/Dusknoir (206 players)
• GB2 - Edmund Khoo - N's Zoroark ex (17 players)
• GB3 - Adrian Lim - Dragapult ex
• GB4 - Bjorn Soh - Tera Box (32 players)

• GB29 - Eugene Ling - N's Zoroark ex (32 players)
• GB30 - Marcus Tan - Dragapult ex/Charizard ex (32 players)
• GB31 - Marcus Tan - Dragapult ex/Charizard ex (32 players)

Thanks for reading and all the best to everyone playing in the upcoming 3 Ultra Ball events!
