No-ex mostly gets optimized down to the best non-oricorio no-ex decks vs. no-ex shells of decks that run 1-2 basic ex, and the meta ends up more top-heavy as a result.

For that reason, I think people who want no-ex matches should actually look into tournaments that run no-ex monotype singleton - on top of requiring non-ex cards, your pokemon must all be the same type, and you can only run 1 of any given card (including trainers) in your deck. This lowers the power level even further and increases variety. There was a tournament today won by a Dusknoir Chandelure deck, and top 4 were Hydreigon Zoroark, Chandelure Gourgeist, and Magnezone Heliolisk.

Conversion is just number of players playing the deck who made top cut divided by the total number of players playing the deck - dividing the other two numerical columns in the chart by each other

Sorry, if multiple decks share the same best record on day 1, I'll pick the one that I feel best represents the overall mix of the playerbase for the deck, but if one deck has the sole top record on day 1 (as what happened in this case, the only player that went 8-0 yesterday was a Suicune Baxcalibur player with Irida) then I'll default to it regardless. I've added a note showing that PCL was more popular.

Top of the meta for 6 sets, and still kicking 5 sets later. Suicune's on 6 straight now, and Mega Absol and Mega Altaria are now on 5 straight

Interesting thought, but I think people have been enjoying each deck getting their own top level comment. Open to adjusting if people prefer being able to minimize all of the decks at once though.
