MagicFest (or formerly known as Grand Prix) Lyon is one of the two Standard MagicFest tournaments on this weekend (the other in Nagoya), with a total of 944 competitors gathered from all around the world for their share in the $50,300 prize pool.

With the other Standard Grand Prix running at the same time this weekend, the question is no longer about what decks can beat Oko – it is how much dominance they demonstrate before the anticipated banned and restricted announcement on November 18.
