The '''2019 World Championships Decks''' were among the selection of merchandise available from November 22, 2019. The three TCG champions from each of the [[2019 World Championships]] age brackets, as well as the runner-up from the Masters division, had their decks recreated as commemorative products. The cards in these decks have non-standard reverse designs that depict the 2019 World Championships logo and lack any Holofoil patterns their standard counterpart have. Instead they feature a silver foil border and a silver foil signature of the participant. As a result, the cards are not legal for use at official events. Each deck included a booklet with a summary of the Championships, a 2019 World Championships {{TCG|Pin}}, a deck box and a code card for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]]. The decks comprise Masters champion Henry Brand's {{TCG|Perfection}}, Masters runner-up Shintaro Ito's {{TCG|Mind Blown}}, Seniors champion Kaya Lichtleitner's {{TCG|Fire Box}} and Juniors champion Haruki Miyamoto's {{TCG|Pikarom Judge}}.
