In Season 1 Episode 6 - _"The Mysterious Card Shop!"_ , when Aichi fights
Kourin, Kourin appears to have duplicated Aichi's Royal Paladin Deck.

In Episode 23 - _"Fateful Encounter"_ it was the same in the match between
Kourin and Ren however Ren was invited to PSY and Kourin had Ren play using a
pre-built deck which was the same she used. as Ren noticed it was because
Kourin was seeing a person's true skill as a fighter rather than the strength
of their deck.

But i don't recall Aichi, Morikawa or Izaki being invited to PSY rather they
found it by accident and even if they were invited, unlike Ren, Aichi had
never been in any tournaments so there was really no way for Kourin to know
what was in his deck via any broadcasts.

So how did Kourin copy Aichi's deck?

How did Kourin copy Aichi's deck?


[Aichi](http://cardfight.wikia.com/wiki/Aichi_Sendou/Data#Season_1) and
[Kourin](http://cardfight.wikia.com/wiki/Kourin_Tatsunagi#Deck) had very
similar decks but they were not identical. For example, Kourin is seen to have
a Stardrive Dragon, which Izaki and Morikawa remark earlier in the episode is
'legendary' and not available or easy to find anymore. Aichi is never seen to
play this card. She also uses Crimson Butterfly, Brigette, which again is a
card that Aichi never plays. Despite Kourin having cards like Wingal that
appear to exclusively support Aichi's Blaster Blade, she is never seen to use
one herself.

I believe the main purpose of Kourin and Aichi's first cardfight was to
establish that even with _similar_ decks, their skill and play styles are very
different. Kourin does not appear to have deliberately copied Aichi's deck.

In episode 23, I believe you are correct. Kourin and Ren use pre-built
identical decks to judge Ren's skills without access to his usual cards.
