What do you guys think of the 2023 Wolds? I think it is a bit of a downer because he winner this time is none other than the ‘broken’ Mew VMAX deck. But to me, I think this is a great feat because Pokemon already make so many counters for this deck and it still comes out on top. We also see 3 more decks in the Top 16 which is a surprise because people thought that Drapion V or Spiritomb could counter it. Sadly, this is Mew VMAX’s last Worlds so we won’t be seeing it next year. What deck do you think will win the Worlds next year?
