Arceus VSTAR and Giratina VSTAR finally got their regional win and Lost Zone Box is still a dominant deck in this tournament. On the other hand, we only have 1 Gardevoir ex in the Top 16. We also see that Miraidon ex still manages to get a Top Cut despite its unpopularity in the top-tier deck. I really hope we get to see another fun deck manage to get a Top Cut.
