Dragapult was the deck of the season: three of the eight finalists played it, the new champion among them, with Henry Chao running a Dusknoir version. Crustle made the quarterfinals twice, and so did Alakazam – once all the way to the final.
Europe did well. Belgium's Rune Heiremans reached the quarterfinals with Crustle and finished fifth, and Poland's Mateusz Łaszkiewicz placed seventh. Both came through the Swiss rounds into the top cut; Heiremans' match results are on Limitless.
