Compared to January’s numbers and teams, February is a lot more standard compared to the metagame. There are still some odd choices as is common for the Brisbane metagame (There’s a Pelipper!) but this may be a sign of the global meta having a stronger reflection on the overall usage in the area. With Premier Challenges potentially just around the corner, this may be a sign that Brisbane, and potentially Australia in general, are focused on being a strong competitive force this year.
Time will tell.
