BREAKING IT ALL DOWN

X-Sabers

Pot of Duality: Most X-Saber decks continue to run at least 1 Pot of Duality. However, it is becoming quite  popular to run at least 2 as reflected by the +0.5 upward trend.
Gold Sarcophagus: Most X-Saber decks do not run Gold Sarcophagus.  This trend has remained consistent over the course of past tournaments
Mystical Space Typhoon: Most X-Saber decks do not run Mystical Space Typhoon.  This trend has remained consistent over the course of past tournaments
Trap Stun: Most X-Saber decks run at least 2 copies of Trap Stun.  This trend has remained consistent over the course of past tournaments.
Gottoms' Emergency Call: Most X-Saber decks continue to run 2 copies of Gottoms' Emergency Call.  However, it was significantly more popular to run 3 copies prior to this event, as reflected by the -0.7 downward trend.
Airbellum: Almost all X-Saber decks run X-Saber Airbellum.  About twice as many X-Saber decks pair Airbellum with Super-Nimble Mega Hamster than do not.

Plants:

Debris Dragon: Almost all Plant decks continue to run 3 copies of Debris Dragon.  This has not changed since past events.
Quickdraw Synchron: About half of all Plant decks run at least 2 copies of Quickdraw Synchron.  The other half opt to play no copies.  This trend has remained consistent over the course of past tournaments.
Pot of Duality: Most Plant decks do not play Pot of Duality.  It is becoming slightly less popular to do so, as reflected by the -0.1 downward trend.
Pot of Avarice: Most Plant decks run at least 2 copies of Pot of Avarice.  This has remained virtually unchanged over the course of past tournaments. 
Mystical Space Typhoon: Most Plant decks run at least 1 copy of Mystical Space Typhoon.  It is becoming slightly more popular to run 2 copies, as reflected by the +0.2 upward trend.

Blackwings:

Pot of Duality: Most Blackwing decks run between 1 and 2 copies of Pot of Duality.  It is becoming slightly less popular to run 2 copies, as reflected by the -0.2 downward trend.
Cards for Black Feathers: Most Blackwing decks ran at least 1 copy of Cards for Black Feathers.  This is a significant increase, as reflected  by the +0.7 upward trend.
Mystical Space Typhoon: Most Blackwing decks run at least 1 copy of Mystical Space Typhoon.  It is becoming slightly less popular to run 2 copies, as reflected by the -0.1 trend.
Delta Crow - Anti Reverse: Most Blackwing decks do not run Delta Crow - Anti Reverse.  Yet, it continues to be unpopular to do so, as reflected by the -0.1 downward trend.
Seven Tools of the Bandit: Most Blackwing decks run at least 1 copy of Seven Tools of the Bandit.
