Tournament Highlights
-
Scamazed! The winner is pumpkinwavy on BR Grief! Going deep on the Fable plan!
-
SleepingSnorunt is our runner-up and played BG Yawgmoth! Playing the The One Ring version of the archetype popularized by Xerk!
-
ltbeast was on BG Yawgmoth. Also on the The One Ring version!
-
NathanOfTheGiltLeaf was on Amulet Titan. Great use of that The One Ring card!
-
mark_68 was on 5c Creativity. Guess it's still good after all!
-
OtherWhiteStuff was on BR Shadow. Ooooo we haven't seen this archetype perform since the printing of Solitude and Dress Down! That's HYPE
-
AlexanderRosdahl was on Abzan Sacrifice. Orcish Bowmasters and Delighted Halfling do this archetype a lot of good, they're both awesome with MH2 all-star Grist the Hunger Tide!
-
deftjad rounds out our T8 with Amulet Titan! The One Ring is really a natural fit in Amulet Titan, oh goodie!
-
In the rest of the 6-2 bracket, I spy aspiringspike the master on Mono B Grief! No Coffers, just linear mana and a cohesive midrange plan augmented by The One Ring!
-
And in the 5-3 bracket, we see more of what we've come to know in these past few weekends!
-
Shoutout to ltbeast for going undefeated in the Swiss!
-
Congrats to pumpkinwavy for taking the tournament down!
