Style pass (2026-10-15)

Missing data

  • Cut from the ratings section (no source given): "Decipher did not publish a standing world list that survived in an easy public dump."

Possibly faulty data

  • The Paul Todd Feldman quote came from YouTube auto-captions of the DRTORCH interview (1:44:08 recording), not checked against the audio. Cut blockquote: "it all dominoed from just me buying the packs to playing to doing well at it to people coming to want to play in tournaments I'm at because they had I had points that if you I lose you get my points. And so and then they had a rating kind of like chess". Re-transcribe the clip before restoring it.

Marginal cuts

  • Cut summary section "Differential, the cut, and why lists exist" (unsourced): "Swiss + differential punishes decks that spend a lot of life force (Hunt Down, mutual loss) and rewards retrieval. DecipherCon 2000 Day 2 is the worked example above. Decklists exist because starting locations are supposed to be simultaneous, because a 60-card check is the only way to catch extras, and because championship events post the lists after the fact. That is also why 1998 Worlds allowed a single Saturday-night rewrite: the next day's list is a new freeze."
  • Cut after the DecipherCon 2000 Day 3 section: "That is why lists, command cards, and the +1 vs +2 distinction exist: one timed game moved a Worlds finalist."
  • Cut from Decklist sheets: "Keep all three generations: the Decipher 60-line sheet, the PC shield sheet, and the current Tournament Decklist. Tournament Guide 2.2 remains the procedure document until the PC replaces it."
  • Removed the Sources list; every item is now a <ref> or an inline link in the body except PC tournament resources (starwarsccg.org), which supported no specific sentence.
