I appreciate the retro TCG content a lot. Makes me realize how long you’ve been making your opponents scoop
@@nebs9798 It's still considered a modern era format by most people. BLW-on is still legal in Expanded so it's not really retro. Just old format.
I don't need the existential crisis knowing this is retro lmao
@@jakegearhart 6 years is a pretty big gap. That’s the difference between Base Set and Ruby and Sapphire!
@@tophmidnaYT 10 years (since Black & White was released) is a long time, but the game's been going on for 25. Black & White changed the game drastically in terms of marketing, game mechanics, rules, and started the Expanded format. It's where most people make the division between "retro" and "modern old formats"
As someone who has only played online for the past year, I greatly appreciate the commentary over commentary of yourself at an event like this. It allows me to vicariously enjoy the growth of the game. Thanks!
I keep seeming to forget how much I miss older formats. Prize lead, resource management, deck thinning, and board position all play major roles. At one or more points in this series, each one of them has a time where it's the most important factor in the game.
Ahh, the 2015 World Championships. I remember this one as… “the one those 2 guys brought a bunch of guns and got arrested by the FBI” worlds… :/
I was in the crowd cheering you on! Mad memories watching this.
This was the era that I played Pokemon competitively. I loved going to Ft Wayne regionals every year and played in the Chicago area. I remember seeing you there a couple times too!
Now you have to do your 2017 NAIC one! That round was epic, too.
Andrew really won because he's playing juniper and not sycamore like David
Agree

ooh, it's great that you posted this - I was gonna rewatch it anyway!
I remember watching this set, it was a treat to watch. What an insane mirror match!
You should keep these up and bring on guests and have them talk through some of their crazy matches as well! This was awesome to watch man
There's some thing so cool about Andrew saying "I stand exactly where I am right here, i stand by my list 100%. Ask me how many sizmatoads I beat."
I was so engrossed in this I didn't realize I watched an hour-long video, truly a joy to watch old Night March gameplay
Night March really was great.
It's crazy that this was 6 years ago. Feels like just yesterday
this vid was sick need more of these kinds of vids!!
Love your watch!! It matches your hair !! Thanks for the throwback stream really fun
I LOVE this video. I’m new to playing the TCG and sometimes hear the V mechanic isn’t good for the format. Not knowing any comparisons, I never really understood that. Now that I see this, I can see how much more strategy is involved when there are less 3 prizers running around. ALSO, I remember watching your card sleeve / shuffling video and how you were so adamant about playing quickly. This explains everything. You are more than an entertainer. You might just be the GOAT or at least first ballot PTCG HOF. Keep it up Andrew, the community needs you!!
I loved this "reaction" style video. Do more of these from other streams you've been on, please. And congrats on that win, I remember watching it. lol
I qualified for worlds that year too. The season was crazy with so many fun decks that season.
Donphan
Landobats
Toad bats
Fairy box decks with like mega kangaskan
Yveltal hammers and yveltal hard charm to counter fighting decks
Genesect
Toad slurpuff
Toad shaymin
Toad ghetsis
Night March
Mega ray
Archies blastoise
Wailord
Mega groudon
Really fun season traveling the country playing these decks. Oh and top of all those decks we also got to use lysandre trump card which even though ya it was broken but it was still fun as hell. We also had to do an emergency ban that season to ban fan of waves shiftry because it was a prettty crazy donk deck.
Night March one of my favourite decks. It was fascinating to see the ebb and flow of each match, particularly game two. I really enjoyed Andrew's commentary, and it was a blast experienceing his nervous energy all over again!
The fact that night march is a decade old now is insane
I really like this video because it lets us go back in the past and let’s us know what was going through your mind while playing and funny that your commenting yourself . Love to see more videos like this keep them coming !
I remember watching this set at the venue, i was lucky enough to ID with Israel Sosa in the last round to get in to day 2 (also running night march). The night march mirror is definitely one of the more entertaining mirrors i've played despite how simple it seems on paper
Andy, this brings back so much nostalgia, thanks for posting this match
So David could have blocked by not conceding? He couldn't win but there was a chance Andrew wouldn't either. Gentleman right there.
💯
[uncut gems voice] That’s history right there, you understand?
Man, this is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a while, you should do these with other matches of yours?
Yo Andrew, this was one of my favorite Tricky Gym videos yet. So cool to see analysis like this. Thanks bro!
As a competitive player, I really enjoy your analyses on the live games. You could even consider doing this on matches that are not your own, providing some insight many players may not be aware of.
This was awesome to watch bc this is when I first got back into the tcg and this was the first world's I ever watched and night March was one of the first decks I remember learning about. Then I fully dived into competitive when derium announced their new competitive channel and hosted by some guy named Andrew Mahone.
Phenomenal content! Loved it. One critique, if you do a clip at the start to catch attention, please blur the score. I like not knowing what happens so my reactions arent biased.
Excellent game, I remember watching this live and being in awe. Love these recap videos.
Fun to notice that the judje beside you was an italian player i used to play with back in the years
Man, this era is when I first started playing PTCG. It’s crazy seeing these cards played again.
I’m still not understanding everything but I’m learning! Loving the content dude
I love u put this up night march got me into the tcg and I still play it today in retro formats and mad party in Extended love that u can look back with joy and happiness and nerves on a close match and laugh about it good stuff.
I am loving this kind of content! I never played Pokemon TCG in paper yet and cant imagine how hard it must be to check for prices so quick.
I don't usually watch videos like this all the way through but you make them so entertaining!
I don't think a lot of us played when night march was around lmao
Honestly the most shocking thing about this is that David was allowed to pile shuffle. That should be a warning by the judge and a reshuffle
I love both your content and the energy you have!
Would love to see more of this kinda of throwback to past irl events
we had a guy i would always run into at local tournaments. he played lost March the entire 2018 season. he wouldn't give up on it. he was caught up in that night March nostalgia
This was a fantastic video, loved your commentary and talk through, can’t wait for another one
Loved watching this on stream! I hope you can do more of these in the future!
I remember playing tcg online when this deck was at its peak. This was the only deck you would ever see since the tcg online card economy was really unfair for new players, and night march was pretty much mostly common and uncommons for its most important cards.
Really appreciate this recap style video 👏👏👏
Against big EX decks, I go first because I want the two-turn setup to get enough Marchers in the discard. Against the mirror, I go second because you need at most 7 Marchers to KO anything and the first KO usually wins.
Love this kind of content, 1:10:02 Is an example of why, I saw this early in the morning and again now... Just amazing
This was great, I love seeing old competitive formats
this is when I discovered u back in the day. Such a good tourney to watch and such a busted deck going into the next season
That feeling of your heart beating in your chest is similar to holding your breath underwater for too long. The last turn coming down to who has the Guzma, or the energy drop, or what have you; win or lose those moments are why I play. I loved watching this with your thoughts on what was going on in your head.
I know, feels SO good to win the game at the last moment, but so crushing to lose that same way.
My first time meeting you was actually playing the night march mirror at a regionals in 2015. I remember you taking game 3 because you teched target whistle which let you grab another shaymin-EX kill for game.
The decision to go first or second reminds me of the ultra necrozma mirror. Loved the video Andrew.
this content is fantastic!!! keep it up! it would also be cool to do post commentary on other people's games too!
it's also just really cool to see these older formats before i was playing. i started playing during sm celestial storm just after xy rotated
I really enjoyed this video, it was a very interesting insight!
Love this type of content. Looking forward to more!
I know this was an "on a whim" decision after PTCGO went down but you absolutely turned it into a really enjoyable stream and some great youtube content
It's so weird hearing Pooka's voice again. I haven't heard him since he abandoned CZcams. but I used to watch his channel religiously.
As a former regionals/nationals level yugioh player I always thought Pokémon tcg was a lot more simple to play…until I tried to play it at a competitive level lol. Been watching your videos to try and get better at deck building without just straight copying peoples decks. I retired from yugioh when pendulum format became mainstream as it just didn’t feel like yugioh anymore.
For the first time in my life, i didn't hate a night march deck player, and that's saying a lot.
Using Battle Compressor and VS Seeker for getting any Supporter was my favourite play in the format. I accidentally qualified for the 2016 Worlds by playing Night March for the whole season, but since I hadn't planned it at all I didn't have any money saved to fly there.
This video was fantastic. Thanks Mahone!
What an incredible set. So exciting to watch.
Ah yes the 1st year I played competitive pokemon. These were the days.
I love this video boss. Please do more of these if you can!
I love this! Please do more like this!
loved playing night march possibly my all time favourite deck.
Hyping us up for the return of irl play with this one
I would love to see a new format when PTCGL comes out where cards from Black and White all the way up to XY Evolutions would be legal. It would give us a chance to play with these old archetypes which have been power crept out of the Expanded format and it would also make a good replacement for Legacy.
I didn’t remember Night March being a meme, and I just pulled out my old Night March list from like right when it came out, and yeah, this was totally a meme.
I remember those days
The clock is such bs in tourneys. It really needs a revision to give each player a set amount of time like how chess does it instead of a shared time limit that can be eaten up. If each player was delegated a set time limit for each game or for the match in total, you probably could have played out game 1 a bit longer to see if you could squeeze out a win.
NIghtmarch was the first pokemon deck i built and played it till rotation. The nostalgia
I would definitely like to see more videos like this!
This is *just* before i played. I played starting breakpoint, where night march was a terrifying meta threat. Its cool to learn that when evs just came out it was not the meta threat that i knew it was. Im interested on why you played town map (i think thats what you played, i just noticed your prizes were up) to me it sounds like a do nothing card in a deck thats so agressive.
I really like this kind of content but I can't get over the fact that the placement of present day Mahone looks like he's the one playing against past Mahone.
It's interesting to see night march played with ex's. I remember this being so great because it was so annoying to get through 6 single prizes. Playing vespiqueen back in this era (having a similar attack) it was super foolish to have any ex attackers/ supporters. Quite interesting. I miss this format so much. While seimsetoed was so annoying and shaymin was basically essential in every deck, I have so many fond memories here
I really wish we get a new format on ptcgl similar to Legacy except it would be B&W-EVO. It would be great to play these older cards again because they've been powercrept out of expanded so badly.
Have you done more of these types of videos their fun to watch?
That was the meta during my introduction to the pokemon tcg. Night March, Tree Lock, Yeveltal. I played a blacksmith deck with firey torch and battle compressor. Fire starter Flaeron ex with dual tool entei.
back then when i played this deck i would play 2nd most of the time
i thought the only reason night march was a meme, was because Lysandre's trump card was still legal for tournament play.
Great history. Very interesting video!
You should do more of this type of video!
I love story time! Great video!
2015, Boston? Worlds ought to return to Beantown.
Dude I remember this I took this to worlds in 2016
Damn so much youth back then!
Oh this is SO neat!
really love this content
Love this video, but I will say for anyone wondering Night March was certainly not a meme deck. From what I saw when I was at worlds that year it was the most popular deck at probably around 20-25% of the field, and I personally played against 3 of them on day one of the event.
yes, it was not a meme AT worlds, up until that point it was largely considered to be. Shaymin being released changed everything and no one realized it at Nationals. Compare the results of Nationals to the results of Worlds.
@@TrickyGym oh absolutely I agree. Shaymin was huge, but so was trainers mail for digging for compressors so it really wasn't a legitimate deck until roaring skies. Additionally, bats based decks that night March struggled with like landy and toad didn't really make a big splash at Nationals so I think people then realized the coast was somewhat clear for worlds.
@@TrickyGym that’s because if you remember this season bat decks like toad bats and lando bats were dominating for half the season also had trump card most of the season making night March harder to play as well.
Those things shit all over night March even if they played mr mime.
But by worlds enough decks had scared away bat decks and the loss of trump card limited the toad players.
Great video and great commentary
Insane video Mahone
2015 was the year I got into the game. I miss this era of the game. I’m not a fan of three prize Pokémon. I oddly miss those toads and lasers.
Wait maybe im dumb but why does David play lightning for gnaw as supposed to psychic to ram?
This was the exact thought i had back then XD! Playing Basic Psychic (with Muscle Band) means u can Ram KO ur opponent's Joltik but not getting return KO'ed with a Basic Energy fueled attack
Awesome match.
Night March drives me nuts. It takes the opponent so long to set it up. Sure the payoff is great but once they’ve burned through battle compressors, ultra balls, etc, etc to pump their discard. One or two plays of Karen ruins their game. 😂😂😂. So satisfying playing Karen after they’ve don’e all that work 😂😂😂
more close then your expanded regional match with snorlax vmax when you miss calculated the damage and went to game 3 against ho oh ex? I was so stressed watching that game
that 9th place ): great match tho!!!!!!
Comment "howdy" if you want Jeff Bezos to flip tails for the rest of his life.
Played against a night march deck with my double prize deck and it was a horrible match up. Had a horrible start aswel 😅
