Pitch Black Sparks Meta Shifts with Hide 'n' Sneak and Dhelmise
Pitch Black’s release introduces new archetypes like Hide 'n' Sneak built around Dhelmise, with the author arguing it can pressure Dragapult but isn’t a guaranteed counter and can be pressured by fast KOs and Unfair Stamp. The set also offers solid tools like Banette and Sinistcha (the latter deemed inefficient), and overall adds viable, interesting strategies and some immediately strong cards, though consistency remains a weakness as players explore matchups in the evolving metagame.
