Hello readers and welcome back to another article! We’re finally in a new format, and there’re new things for me to talk about. Yay! There are a lot of cool cards in this set that have the potential to greatly shake up the meta for NAIC. There are also a lot of cards that are “back” either with new names or sometimes even direct reprints like Super Rod. This set is certainly going to shake things up one way or another, and I’m super excited to see it play out.

Today, I’m going to go over my favorite deck from the new set, Chien-Pao, and all of the different ways that it can be built. I’ve seen a lot of different lists out there already, so I think this could be really informative for a lot of readers. Also, I’m almost certainly going to forget the hyphen in Chien-Pao’s name at some point, so please overlook that until I get more used to it.
