Hello! This Tournament Analysis article series aims to summarize the tournament-winning metagame based on data from a weeklong period (for both Speed and Rush formats).
Today's report is based on tournaments held from July 14, 2025 to July 21, 2025

Performance Metric
Remarks
Same as previous week, the trio AG + Speedroid + Shaddoll is dominating the meta, followed by tier 3/rogue decks with a few tops. Previous week was Agents, now is Gusto and Lyrilusc getting tops.
Gusto in particular is a very good deck but with low representation due to various factors:
There are better meta decks, in factor Gusto does very similar combos to Speedroid. Overall, Gusto has a better turn 1 with boards like Loading... + Loading... + Loading... + Loading... but a worse turn 2 where a single Loading... can stop the whole turn.
It's hard for people to dig into a Deck Build Box to build a tier 3 deck
Hard to pilot, Gusto has a lot of ways to reach the same endboard, and you have to be aware of what to search with the skill based on what you have in hand.

Atypical week, a lot of different decks winning. The explanation can be found between a slightly lower Light Galaxy representation and the common factor meta deck have (otk potential + consistency). To summarize, whoever draw better wins 🧐
