Top Cut Meta Analysis
3 Inzektor
2 Wind-Up
1 Rabbit
1 Ninja
1 Dark World

Rabbit, Wind-Up, and Inzektor did combine to make up 75% of that Top Cut, but the percentages very greatly from the norm. Although, without an initial meta breakdown, it is different to conclude whether or not this is a case of Inzektor dominance, or one of limited competitive cardpool availability.
