Here’s the full breakdown:
10 Sky Striker
5 Orcust
4 Cyber Dragon Orcust

2 Lunalight Orcust
2 True Draco Sky Striker
2 Thunder Dragon
1 Invoked Sky Striker
1 Altergeist
1 Crusadia Danger! Thunder Orcust
1 Mekk-Knight
Pure Sky Strikers are the most numerous Deck, with ten representatives. There’s also a single Invoked Sky Striker Deck. Interestingly, there are two True Draco plus Sky Striker hybrids, but no regular True Draco builds.
The Orcust Decks have quite a large showing, with a total of 12 variations. The pure build is most common, followed closely by the Cyber variant. The Lunalight version won YCS Guadalajara, but only two of them made it to the top cut here. Finally, one Deck mixing the engines of Crusadia, Danger!, and Thunder Dragons was successful this weekend.
Salamangreats and Thunder Dragons both brought a few Duelists to the top cut. The strategies are mostly unchanged from recent weeks, making them a good choice for any Duelist already comfortable with them. A single Altergeist strategy made it in, and at fifth place in the standings too. In the face of powerful Orcust combo Decks, a control Deck like Altergeists can find its niche. Finally, one dedicated Mekk-Knight strategy is here! Mekk-Knights were popular for quite some time, but we haven’t seen much of them in recent times. Could this be a new direction for the strategy?
