Decklists
Stéphane Ivanoff, 1st - Zoroark-GX/Garbodor/Kartana-GX
This is 59/60 of the list Ivanoff used to win the 2018 NAIC; for Valencia, he cut an N for the Delinquent.
- "Delinquent was mostly useless but it won me one game in Round 8 and [another in] Top 4, and maybe that's enough for a tech. My other choice for its spot was another Enhanced Hammer, but I'm thinking a fourth Unit or Psychic Energy could be good vs BuzzRoc."
Bert Wolters, 2nd - Buzzwole/Lycanroc-GX
Robin Schulz, 3rd - Zoroark-GX/Lycanroc-GX
Fabien Pujol, 9th - Zoroark-GX/Garbodor
Pujol took 7th place at the 2018 NAIC the previous weekend with the same deck (with some minor list differences).
- "I played basic Energy and Oranguru because I was expecting [to play against mirrors and] Zoroark-GX Control."
