Starting off with the Asia-Oceania regional finals, Freshcabbage and Middyspring-chan's finals match came down to the wire, with both players ending the game at 3-6!

Freshcabbage ran a standard 8 Standby Mushoku Tensei: jobless reincarnation list that aimed at overpowering the opponent in the mid game and building an insurmountable advantage.

"Violent Tsundere Young Lady" ErisViolent Tsundere Young Lady Eris is a powerful level 1 play that generates card advantage thanks to her Eris's RequestEris's Request climax combo that simultaneously mills through the deck while retrieving characters to set up for future turns! Eris lives up to her name as violent tsundere with a titanic 7,500 power at level 1 that proves difficult to match!

"Strong Body" GhislaineStrong Body Ghislaine provides immense pressure in the midgame with her power to swing for two souls while also providing all other characters with a continuous 1,000 power boost! With a single copy of her on your stage, your "Violent Tsundere Young Lady" ErisViolent Tsundere Young Lady Eris will be swinging for 8,500 power!

Amulet of Migurd RaceAmulet of Migurd Race works well with the Roxy package to ensure on-demand card advantage with its ability to search out characters twice! You'll never have a dull turn with this gift!

With the recent update to the restriction list, Mushoku Tensei: jobless reincarnation decks may no longer run both "Strong Body" GhislaineStrong Body Ghislaine and "Just a Child" RudeusJust a Child Rudeus in the same list. While the closest equivalent to "Just a Child" RudeusJust a Child Rudeus would be SylphSylph, but this would mean having to splash Green or replace the Roxy package, resulting in a possible loss in consistency. "Sword God Style" GhislaineSword God Style Ghislaine would be a good replacement that helps in both the mirror match and against other decks running Standby.

On the other side, Middyspring-chan's Choice/Gate BanG! Dream list looked towards building a strong late game board state with "Rausch und/and Craziness Ⅱ" CHU²Rausch und/and Craziness Ⅱ CHU² boosted by Astonishing Speed, PAREOAstonishing Speed, PAREO, as well as chaining attacks with the climax combo effect of "Astral Harmony" Mashiro KurataAstral Harmony Mashiro Kurata.
