Hello everyone! Recently the Portland Regionals took place over on the West Coast, and this tournament was absolutely massive. Having 1500 players is record-breaking for West Coast tournaments in North America, and it is going to be followed by two more US Regionals, with all three staggered across every other weekend. The Paradox Rift meta has developed considerably, yet we are still constantly being surprised and seeing new things. There are many viable decks in this format, and most of them are fun to play. It is interesting seeing meta shifts and playing against a variety of decks. This time last year, I was accustomed to playing against at least eight
Lugia VSTAR every tournament, and I think we can all agree that things are considerably more fun with more variety.
For this article I will be discussing the results of Portland specifically, and how that influences the meta and Regionals...
