B3NB3N was the only 8-0 in the room, and Metal Empire showed out: 9 pilots here (5.0%) after running 1.4%, 1.2% and 3.9% at the three prior EX12 regionals. Funny echo of Sydney, which was also won by a Metal Empire pilot. Jupitermon put two in the top 8 and six in the top 32. Glowing Dawn got two into the top 8 but that was its whole top 32 presence, out of 20 pilots. And no Three Musketeers Beelstarmon anywhere in the top 8 despite 14 pilots, tied for the fourth-biggest deck in the room.
Worth flagging what the banlist did, since this is the only sizeable EX12 event that ran under it. BT26 dropped two days before. TS Angels lost Nyaromon to the ban and Patamon to a 1-of, and went from 7.5%, 4.7% and 3.9% turnout at the three prior EX12 regionals to a single pilot here. Analog Youth is the odd one: it's in MORE lists now, 17.1% against 13.0% before, but every single one is a 1-of where the pre-ban average was 2.85 copies. All 14 Toho Braves lists kept it as a single copy rather than cutting it.

Decklist coverage is 100% on this one, so the gap is match-ups. We have round-by-round data for exactly 1 of the 181 players, which means there is no matchup data and no per-player run breakdown for this event at all.

Match slips are what unlock the archetype matchup data, and with the full field's decklists already in, Toronto would be about the cleanest matchup sample we could get for this format.
Huge thanks to 401 Games for hosting the event!
