About this data
- Decklists from online tournaments on Limitless TCG (play.limitlesstcg.com) with 16 or more players, over the last 28 days. In-person events and other platforms aren't included, so this is a sample of the competitive meta.
- Decks are named by Limitless where it sorts them into deck types (Pokémon); otherwise by the deck's leader or legend.
- "Decks playing it" is the share of decklists with at least one copy of a card. A card is listed once it reaches 5% of decks.
- Many cards are printed more than once (a regular version and alternate-art or foil versions). Prices are TCGplayer market prices for the cheapest version (what players buy) and the priciest one (what collectors chase).
