So this means lost thunder will be legal for dallas which means we can one shot whales in expanded with virizion. Jackpot !
Actually, Anaheim gets the first crack with Expanded and Lost Thunder.
Fortunately, Dallas is a month later. Which is good because Dallas this year has a 2 month gap in between Expanded regionals and the meta for Dallas was one big charlie-foxtrot.
At least with Dallas being 1 month after Anaheim, the meta (theoretically) shouldn't flux THAT hard again.
I am also curious if Grass-type decks will make a resurgence and possibly put some decks away like Beached Whales and Seismitoad.
Alolan (Fairy) Ninetales GX and Ditto Prism Star are going to be a massive game changers depending on how much Item-lock/Ability-lock is prevalent in the meta.
Add onto the fact that we STILL have Explosive Impact yet to be spoiled, so we could be looking at more weirdness.
I feel a bit bad for the Anaheim players because they have to work with the games biggest set ever released and Expanded events are pretty sparce, so there's A LOT of figuring out they have to do and I do not envy them one bit.
