What do you guys think of the deck? Giratina VSTAR won the tournament! However, if I remember it correctly, there's no Giratina V/VSTAR in play when the final is happening. Turns out the deck can run pretty well even when you are not using your main attacker. Japanese players always bring something interesting to the tournament and sometimes it really works wonderfully. I can't wait on how Lost Origin will affect our meta in big tournaments!
You can try these decklists and modify them to your liking so you can surprise all of your opponents. Because sometimes all you need is one unique card to take win!
