Performance Metric

Score based on number of players per tournament and 1st or 2nd place obtained. 1st Place get (N° of players / 10) points, 2nd Place get (N° of players / 20)

Remarks

New box is good? Yeah good enough to be at the same level as Sevens Road but still far away from Light Galaxy.

Rush format currently revolves around building decks able to OTK very fast, dropping traps aside from one Legend Trap like Loading... or Loading... (this one is useless against Light Galaxy because Loading... has destruction protection). The lack of defensive tools encourage deck building towards a very aggressive all-in strategy, the first to deal massive damage is the winner.
