Who called it? Well, okay, it didn't take much to realize that X-Sabers and Infernities were going to take the greatest number of tops (tied at 7 a piece, even), and I forgot to mention Gladiators in my predictions, but! Who else saw that Magical Explosion coming? :P

Now what really blindsided everyone was "Herald of Perfection"! I'll admit it; I didn't expect the deck to make it anywhere on a competitive level. Can you really blame me, though? It's a Ritual Monster of all things, and one with strict summoning requirements that needs ridiculous deck dedication at that! Apparently it doesn't matter when you can negate everything in sight, though... particularly since nothing that can be summoned without the help of an effect can get over that massive defense.

Blackwings, Gadgets, Cat, and Monarchs have continued to prove themselves as solid decks, although not at the top of the food chain. Quickdraw seems to be a cut above them in all this, having been the previously established deck of the format.

I can't wait to see how the YCS in Rosemont, Illinois unfolds!
