Day 1 VOD
Metagame
Temur Reclamation has mostly relinquished the top spot in the metagame to Bant Ramp to occupy 20% of the metagame in this tournament. It received numerous upgrades in Core Set 2021 – ranging from Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse and Scavenging Ooze, to Teferi, Master of Time and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. Mono Green has also been a standout performer, putting 3 copies in the top 16 and the expert Rint taking the first place in the Swiss! The deck now has a critical mass of cards to be a contender in Standard, and it can have a decent fighting chance against the nemesis of creature decks – Rakdos Sacrifice.
