RID｜Chappy Wins the Shadowverse's Singapore International
Dragoncraft was the most-played deck in the Top 32, while Kraken reached the final with the event's only Kukishiro Havencraft and Tempo Forestcraft lists.
RID｜Chappy won the Shadowverse International Championship 2026 Singapore on September 27, taking the USD 30,000 grand prize and a seat at the Shadowverse World Grand Prix 2026. The first international offline Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond event outside Japan ended with Chappy on Combo Forestcraft and Ramp Dragoncraft, the two most common decks in the Top 32.
These are the winning lists:
The runner-up did the opposite. Kraken was the only Top 32 player who brought neither Combo Forestcraft, Ramp Dragoncraft, Crystal Runecraft nor Midrange Abysscraft. Instead, their Kukushiro Haven and Tempo Forest lists were the only copies of the archetype in the group, and that off-meta lineup went all the way to the final.
Behind them, jiean/深紅蘭 and kafsao tied for third, while VL｜まっつ, 奏/REV, ぴゅあ and DragonOracle shared fifth. The four main archetypes still dominated the Top 8, but the final showed there was room for a prepared alternative.
What stands out in the conversion numbers is how little separates the big decks. Combo Forest put 5 of its 18 copies into the Top 8, Crystal Rune 3 of 11, Midrange Abyss 2 of 9 and Ramp Dragon 3 of 15. Those four decks made up 53 of the 64 Day 2 lists.
By class, the Top 8 looks much like the Top 32 did. Forest is on six of the eight lineups, Dragon and Rube on three each. Haven is the exception. It had only two decks in the Top 32, but one of them reached the final.
As for the takeaway, Chappy confirms the decks everybody brought were the right ones, while Kraken shows that a field so established and similar leaves space to try spicier options. Tempo Forest went from one copy in the room to a finals appearance in a single weekend. Congratulations to the winners.
