What Cards make up each box?
Masters Winner – Ondřej Škubal’s ADP deck
The text on the back of the box reads ‘What can counter Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR most effectively? That was the question coming into Worlds 2022, and Masters Champion Ondřej Škubal’s ADP deck provided the answer. Behind the offensive power of Arceus VSTAR lies a Bibarel-driven draw engine complemented by multiple Trainer cards chosen for their search and draw capabilities – and with the flexibility to discard so Bibarel has more room to draw. With Flying Pikachu VMAX and Path to Peak to neutralize incoming attacks and Boss’s Orders to ensure no Pokémon is safe, this deck leaves the opposition toothless, targeted, and trapped!’

Junior Winner – Rikuto Ohashi’s Ice Rider Palkia deck
The text on the back of the box reads ‘Rikuto Ohashi arrived in London as a League Cup Champion – and left as a World Champion thanks to masterful use of his Ice Rider palkia deck and the ice that runs in his veins in the face of adversity. This deck’s power lies in its use of Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR’s devastating Subspace Swell attack, in conjunction with Choice Belt and a packed Bench to deliver up to 290 damage per attack and one-shot almost any Pokémon in battle. Backed by the Bench-filling Sobble and a powerful Inteleon engine for seeking the Trainer cards needed to keep attacks powered and put Pokémon in play, tis deck dampens an opponent’s enthusiasm for battle. Ain’t that swell?’
