ADP is the name of the deck used by Ondřej Škubal, a Masters Division Top 8 finisher at the 2022 World Championships. It is one of the 2022 World Championship Decks released March 3, 2023. Each deck comes with a playmat, poster, booklet about the event, TCGL code card, and a special Worlds 2022 deck box, pin, and coin. The cards included in the deck are not the exact prints used by Škubal, but are the most recent, lowest-rarity print with any Holofoil removed. Each card has a unique card back (thus making them ineligible for tournaments) and Škubal's signature.

Description

What can counter Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR most effectively? That was the question coming into Worlds 2022, and Masters Champion Ondrei Skubal's ADP deck provided the answer. Behind the offensive power of Arceus VSTAR lies a Bibarel-driven draw engine complemented by multiple Trainer cards chosen for their search and draw capabilities -and with the flexibility to discard so Bibarel has more room to draw. With Flying Pikachu VMAX and Path to the Peak to neutralize incoming attacks and Boss's Orders to ensure no Pokémon is safe, this deck leaves the opposition toothless, targeted, and trapped!

Trivia

• The deck name is a reference to the ADP archetype that dominated the 2020-21 Standard format, as the names of the core Pokémon of the deck start with the same letters. Instead of Arceus, Dialga, and Palkia, it is Arceus, Decidueye, and Pikachu.
