The +/-‘s offer insight into how well or how poorly certain decks did during the Swiss Rounds. Konami’s European Coverage team are always thoughtful enough to gather information on the initial meta. This information is extremely useful, because without it, you might would think DW and Hero actually did alright in this tournament. However, you can clearly see they both forfeited meta presence. Rabbit, on the other hand, thrived in the preliminary rounds, like it always does.
