I saw people post 20XX memes when Nekroz was the only viable deck, but it seems to have spread otherwise.
The concept can be applied to basically every competitive game, though. The last time I played YGO competitively was during DUEA format, where there was a "top 3" best decks kind of thing going on (Shaddoll, Satellar, BA) and eventually Satellars fell off, boiling the format down to a top 2.
If the game hadn't changed with the introduction of Qli, following Hax's philosophy then it was only a matter of time before Shaddoll overcame BA and became the only relevant deck.
