“Journey to the Peak:” A Look into Miraidon for the Paradox Rift Format

Miraidon is on top of the world, and it continues to dominate the Standard format.

What’s up, everyone! SmartTCG here, and today I am going to go over one of the current best decks in the standard format. As of right now, the format has been shifting quite a bit. Paradox Rift warped the format substantially, and things are looking quite different out on the battlefield these days! We saw Iron Valiant Entei surprise many with its second place finish at the most recent Latin American International Championships, Snorlax stall begin its rise to stardom (or hatred), and lastly we saw Miraidon make a huge statement with its performance at the Latin American International Championships, taking the entire event down!

When Paradox Rift released last month, a lot of people wrote off Miraidon, saying that Roaring Moon was just a better Miraidon. Over time, this opinion has changed, as people began realizing just how much more versatility the deck has compared to Roaring Moon. With Miraidon’s dominance in the format, it has jumped into consideration for myself heading into Stuttgart and San Antonio Regionals. I have been preparing for both of these events, and am excited to compete. There are two Miraidon decks I have been testing, and let’s take a dive into both of them. Both versions of the deck have a ton of potential, and I think have attractive qualities to them. Lets dive into my favorite one as of right now.
