Despite being held on the heels of a major Banned and Restricted announcement, it’s clear that this new Standard format has an early fan favorite among the competitive crowd. This weekend’s event was totally flooded with Sultai Ramp, which was registered by 208 players (a metagame share of 18.5%) and represented five of the decks in the Top 8.

After making short work of the Top 8 competition, the Finals came down to a Sultai Ramp mirror match between Kazune Kosaka and Yohei Nomiya. In the end, Kosaka was able to out ramp Nomiya and closed out the final match with a quick 2-0 sweep, making him the Red Bull Untapped International Qualifier IV champion.
