Hello all, and welcome to your Friday Question!

With Worlds just 1 week away, we’re all keen to see what deck will win Worlds! So our (relatively) simple question this week is:

What are the top 3 decks you expect to do well at Worlds?

TOS remains a strong contender, but which flavour of them? Will the TNG Borg smash through the field? Will a Staging Ground ship drop deck be competitive in a high stakes field? Will an old Classic do well? Or will it be a total surprise?

Let us know what you think!

In no particular order...

1.) Battle Borg
2.) TOS Fed
3.) TOS Klingon

Dark horses:
TOS Romulan
[22] [SF] / [Vul]

Given that battle borg is a thing.
I could also see shuttle drop decks doing well.
Spreading out over the spaceline is a good defense

1 - Some kind of Romulan or DS9 ship dump
2 - TOS Fed
3 - KCA

TOS Fed will be at the top table, but I reckon an interference deck will stop them from winning the top spot.

Based on what I saw at Continentals (yes; small sample size and all), I would say all the regions, especially the Neutral Zone. If I were playing, I'd be packing Plasma Currents and Some Day I'll Retire Here.

Also, with the meta pointing to [Fed] [OS] , I would looking closely at the following dilemmas:
Chula: The Game
Forsaken
Q Gets the Point
I wouldn't worry about it. With TNG Borg doing 2 space and having adapts on planet , battle Borg taking enough opponents personnel and TOS all space -- BTP losses a lot of bite in an anticipated North American Tournament.
Not to mention that Bajoran ships that land tend to show up whenever any PNW peeps show up I would call it a bad meta choice.
