Flury’s take on the Naya Adventures deck gives it some play against Emergent Ultimatum decks with four copies of Mystical Dispute in the sideboard. The elimination rounds featured five Adventure decks, two copies of Sultai Ramp (Yorion), two copies of Mono-Red Aggro❄, and single copies of Rakdos Sacrifice, Mono-Green Aggro❄, and Gruul Aggro. Masahide Moriyama’s build of Rakdos Sacrifice takes on a more token-based strategy with Forbidden Friendship and Bastion of Remembrance to combo with Plumb the Forbidden.
