Performance Metric
Remarks
Shinobird's strong start is fading a little, and Guardian Angel is climbing in popularity. Blue Eyes remains one of the best options in the format. A new product was released this week around the B.E.S. archetype, but I'm not sure if we will see any success in the competitive scene.

Performance Metric
Remarks
Jointech remains the best deck in the format. Metarion and Music Princess received support, giving them more ways to be aggressive. Metarion has a new skill too , allowing the deck to finally have consistent access to the fusion spell.
