### Top 12 Cards Featured

*Building a deck from scratch and ensuring you're featuring the key Elestrals and Runes needed for your strategy can be a challenge. Utilize these breakdowns featuring the Top 12 Cards (in Main Deck and Side Deck) to help construct your perfect deck!*

With *Celesleo's Pride* and *Fish Nexus* taking the top deck archetypes, there's no surprise to see several Solar and Water Elestrals featured in the TOP 12 Elestrals at the 2026 World Championships. Despite the dominance of those Elements, **Cyanectar (Champion of Dionysus)** continues to shine as the Number 1 represented Elestral, thanks to its diverse effect to search out key Runes (such as Poison Tipped Arrow).
