VOD
Today’s tournament consisted of 7 rounds of Swiss, followed by a top 8 playoff. We want to thank sidetraK for production, all the competitors, viewers who tuned in and this week’s coverage team to make today’s event possible – be sure to give them a follow!
Metagame
Another diverse Historic metagame presents to us this week. Simic Nexus was the deck to beat, and we see the return of the king of Historic – Gruul Aggro showing great numbers in contrast to last week’s results.
Decklists
Congratulations to saanctum who took the first prize this week as the lone Field of the Deck player in the top standings. He showed his expertise in the deck in a tough field filled with Gruul Aggro and Simic Nexus, which arguably are not the best matchups. Enjoy the top decks from the tournament below.
