This way you have hand/resource denial through Marnie plus Night Watch, Energy denial through Pale Moon GX and Ability denial with Path to the Peak. Its impact has been immediate and it is an integral part of both Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX and Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX decks.Ĭhilling Reign has a lot of powerful additions, but what are the top 10 that'll shake up the metagame the most? Tablemon takes a look!Įven though Shadow Rider has its fantastic Underworld Door, the most successful variants so far have been pairing Trevenant & Dusknoir-GX with it and Path to the Peak. I listed this card at number four in my top 10 Chilling Reign cards, but after this week, I can say this card should unarguably be number one. However, Path to the Peak is clearly a gamebreaker. This set feels so impactful that a week is far from enough time to define a metagame or even specific lists. There are less popular options such as Rapid Strike Malamar or Blaziken VMAX-focused decks that are also slowly paving their way into the metagame.Īlongside the new decks, plenty of previous decks have been upgraded such as Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX with the new Rapid Strike Passimian and the Rapid Strike Inteleon line adding consistency and extra damage output, Eternatus VMAX with Galarian Moltres V, and the versatility it offers, Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX decks gaining Echoing Horn, Mewtwo & Mew-GX can now combat Eternatus VMAX more effectively with Galarian Zapdos V. New archetypes have emerged, with Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX variants and Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX already doing exceptionally well at online events every day, along with Green’s Trevenant & Dusknoir-GX cementing itself as a powerful deck. Hello CFB Pro readers! Chilling Reign has now been out for over a week and let me just say that I knew this set would be impactful, but I think even I’ve been surprised as to how impactful it has been.
