Respect the Meta. Don’t Surrender to It.

As Worlds approaches, the pull of the meta gets stronger and the pressure to play the “best deck in the room” becomes louder. This article reflects on recent observations, personal tournament experiences, and the impact of experience, familiarity, and investment in deck choice. Respect the meta, understand what is strong, but do not surrender to it. In UniVersus, the best deck is often not the one topping results, but the one you know, trust, and have truly put the reps into.
