Chesnaught Propaganda Continues (with Chace Giusti) - Gym Leader Chat Lounge #21
Q: How did your night go with Chesnaught, and what was the scariest matchup you faced?
Chace explained that the deck performed exceptionally well against fighting matchups, with Shaman and other techs aiding resilience; the scariest round was the Dawn Fan/Dawn Fan-Tropius variant where positioning and timing nearly cost him the game, but careful play and a decisive two-for-one turned the tide.
