[KP12 Week 3]

Week of Feb 4 to Feb 10th 2023 Sample size: 115 decks

- [Does not include Korean lists.] - Includes topping decks whose lists weren't published. - Yu-Gi-Oh! Day results are excluded.

Detailed breakdown below

Excutie tops went up by 7.9% over the past week. This may be due to regionals beginning to pick up, so more people are playing it because Excuties can deal with every other deck in the format with no problems. In light of this, Skysavior and Dragon tops dropped by 5% and 6.4% respectively.

Since this is the third week of KP12, the Excutie increase may also have been due to Excutie players better understanding how to build their decks, cover their weaknesses, and pilot them against other meta contenders.

No.1 Deck: Excuties (44.3% / ⬆ 7.9% from last week)

With such a large increase in deck tops, Excuties have proven to be strong in this format and there are no signs of it stopping. Even in the regionals being held nationwide, Excuties usually always occupy all of the top 8 spots.

Excutie Side Decks have taken to put three useful but may not be as good in the mirror match Excuties there (like Leir and Lucy) rather than the Main Deck. Back Beat is also seeing a lot of play due to Skysaviors, Warriors, and Dragons.

No.2 Deck: Skysavior (9.6% / ⬇ 5.0% from last week)

Skysaviors went down by 5.0% over the past week, but has held onto second place.

Compared to last week, people have gotten more used to Skysavior's playstyle and wincon. Excutie decks now run three (3) Excutie Flames alongside a playset of Floa and Scramble in order to get over the Drukmoor and Altierra floodgates faster.

Attack Salary Cut has been seeing some use in Skysavior decks in order to stop Excutie Flame and protect Drukmoor and Altierra.
