Despite not winning the event, Sultai Ramp continued to be the top deck choice for a majority of players, with 256 copies (a metagame share of 24%) registered, and five copies in the Top 8.

The finals came down to Bonde and his Rakdos Sacrifice deck versus Alexander Gordon-Brown’s Sultai Ramp deck, coming in hot off a victory in a recent SCG Tour Online Championship Qualifier. In the end however, Bonde was able to apply too much early-game pressure and managed to win the match 2-1, making him the Red Bull Untapped International Qualifier VI champion.
