5CH INTER TIENDAS by 5CH LATAM SERIES VOL. IV
Standard: Red Bull Untapped 2021 International Stop III

It’s time once again for the Weekend Tournament Report, where we take a look back at the weekend’s most significant tournaments and competitive MTG events in the Standard and Historic formats. Other than the Historic Qualifier Weekend which took place on Arena, both of the major tournaments to take place featured the Standard format this time around.

On Friday, the Red Bull Untapped 2021 series continued with the massive International Stop III: a Standard tournament on Japan time but open to players anywhere, with over 800 entrants and a $20,000 US prize pool. Meanwhile, Latin American MTG community Five Color Hub (5CH) hosted a smaller, but still significant Standard exhibition with over 100 entrants and $500 in prizes.

Below, you’ll find a metagame summary, final Top 8 results, and all eight of the top decklists from each event. We’ll start out with the smaller 5CH event and then move on to the Red Bull Untapped results. Use the quick links below to navigate the events quickly:

Jund Treasures	5	4.1%	50%
Mono-Black Control ❄	5	4.1%	58.6%

The most popular archetypes from the 5CH event this weekend are going to look pretty familiar to those who have been following the Standard format since the release of Midnight Hunt: Mono Green, Izzet Epiphany and Dragons, and Mono White are showing up pretty consistently at the top of most tournament metas, and this event is no exception.

What is a little unusual in these results is that in spite of being the most played deck at the tournament, Mono Green actually performed quite poorly with a winrate of less than 40%. It seems the rest of the field came prepared for the matchup and ready to win against the venerable Stompy deck which almost always finishes events with an overall match win percentage better than 50%.

Top 8

Rank	Player	Deck	Record
1	Tlacaelel Campo	Jund Treasures	10-1
2	Joao Marcos de Aquino	Jund Treasures	8-3
3	Alvaro Zavala	Grixis Control	8-2
4	Héctor Casanova	Mono Green Aggro	7-3
5	Tron Young	Mono White Aggro	8-1
6	Moisés Pozo Soza	Mono Green Aggro	6-3
7	Taras Kohut	Izzet Turns	6-3
8	David Salazar	Mono White Aggro	6-3

As usual, Mono Green and Mono White both had solid representation in the Top 8 thanks in part to the sheer volume of the decks at the event, but the most interesting takeaway from these results is the Jund Midrange decks that finished in first and second.

These Jund decks look pretty similar to the Temur Treasures deck that has enjoyed a boost of popularity due to it’s impressive finish at the World Championship XXVII in the hands of Jean-Emmanuel Depraz. The Temur deck is essentially Gruul Aggro but with a splash of blue for countermagic to leverage against Alrund’s Epiphany.

The Jund version of the deck maintains the core of ramp-into-value with Magda, Brazen Outlaw, Goldspan Dragon, Esika’s Chariot and friends. However, instead of bothering with the blue counterspells, the Jund version is slanted against the aggro decks. Immersturm Predator makes for a very difficult-to-answer threat for the green decks that rely on fight spells for removal. Power Word Kill and anti-white removal spell Ray of Enfeeblement in the sideboard offer even more tools.

In third place, Alvaro Zavala did extremely well with a bit of an off-meta choice: Grixis Lier. Lier, Disciple of the Drowned was a key part of the Grixis Turns deck that emerged at the World Championship, and while it seems that Zavala’s deckbuilding process probably started with Turns, they abandoned Alrund’s Epiphany entirely to play a more spellslinger-style gameplan. Four copies of Smoldering Egg threaten to take over the game, uniquely bolstered by three copies of Sedgemoor Witch – a Strixhaven card which generated a lot of buzz but hasn’t been seen much in the competitive scene.
