3. The Metagame Receives a Rude Awakening

Food for thought in the unnown meta:

With each of the Premiere Set Mastery cards currently chilling out on the Frozen List, tomorrow’s Dragon Prix will set a new tone for general Style representation. Black Devious Mastery and Red Enraged Mastery saw high amounts of success throughout this season – will the Black and Red Style continue to thrive with their new options?

MPPV strategies have received a boost across all Styles, and they must be taken into account. Whether your deck finds extra space for anti-anger cards or simply plans to outrace the opponent with damage, a realistic gameplan for MPPV is mandatory.

With stage pressure and anger gain at an all time high, can control decks exist in the new format? (Yes). Monitoring the impact (and adoption rate) of control builds in the early Awakening environment will be telling as we approach Worlds, as control decks can take significantly longer to fully develop and master.

4. Worlds Participants  

Aside from competing for cash prizes and receiving exclusive promos, participants in the World Championship will also earn a “Worlds-only”mat.
