Hello again readers, I’m back with another article after a short break for LAIC. I hadn’t planned on a break, but I genuinely did not have time to sit down and write anything during that week, and I didn’t enjoy the thought of writing on an airplane. We’re still going to end up with four articles in November, so I don’t feel too bad about it. Today, we’re going to be discussing how to deal with this format’s biggest deck, Lugia VSTAR. There’s no denying how powerful it is after its LAIC performance, and I would expect to see a ton of it in Toronto, Brisbane, and Stuttgart this weekend. That naturally leads our thoughts toward countering the deck as best we can. The goal here today is to cover some of the counters that exist for Lugia, even if those counters will struggle with other major decks. Let’s get right into it!
