This weekend, two more invites to the Streets of New Capenna Championship (an official Wizards of the Coast tournament $450,000 held on May 20 to 22, with a $450,000 prize pool) are up for grabs from online MTG Arena tournaments.

GGtoor was one of the organizers that held the tournament with 183 players competing in the Standard format. Rakdos expert samsoni1 took it all down with Rakdos Anvil, out-grinding all the other midrange decks and winning the $400 top prize and the coveted Set Championship invite in the process.

You can check out the rest of the decklists and the full metagame breakdown over on MTGMelee or MTG Meta.
