It's been almost a whole year... BUT we're BACK!

Single Prize Showdown Series Tournaments are returning on September 22nd!

I've had countless people mention and ask for this over the course of time since the last event!

I'll try my best to do these at least once or twice a month - primarily Thursday evenings!

Details:

Standard Format (Sword & Shield - Lost Origin)

All Multi-Prize Pokémon (V, VSTAR, VMAX) are BANNED!

The following cards and all other versions of them are banned:

Galarian Weezing RCL

Solrock PGO

Radiant Greninja ASR

Regigigas ASR

Reasons - Weezing stops a lot of cards in this format and in the past we've had weezing wars. Now with Radiant Sneasler, it's too strong.

Radiant Greninja gives everyone draw power, but in this format the 90/90 can be abused too easily with Frosmoth Box style decks and can be opressive in general deck design.

Solrock and Regigigas are the fuel behind two decks that are successful in normal standard format and I wanted to force people to think outside the box.

In the future, we'll ban cards from Lost Origin, but since it's new, I figured to let it go nuts.

**Thursday - September 22nd - 7PM Eastern

Decklists Required - Please check banned cards and all additional versions of those cards are also banned!

You are responsible for making sure your deck is acceptable! - Anyone who doesn't follow the bans via reprints/alt arts will be DQ'd during R1!**

Player Capacity: 128

SWISS BO1 ONLY - NO TOP CUT

Prizes - Lost Origin Codes:
