After making the Top 8 of a Legacy Super Qualifier on May 8 with Gyruda Combo, Griselpuff improved on that finish by winning the latest Legacy Super Qualifier on Thursday. While the format looks much different following the ban of Lurrus of the Dream-Den and Zirda, the Dawnwaker, Griselpuff ran back close to the same list from earlier this month, cutting through a field of Delver, Show and Tell combo decks, and Four- and Five-Color Control.

Griselpuff defeated CoolUser on Yorion Four-Color Control in the quarterfinals before taking down gottelicious on Omni-Show in the semifinals, setting up a finals match against robgladiator90 on Four-Color Control. Gyruda Combo can beat decks with Force of Will by pacing threats that must be countered like Restoration Angel and Thought-Knot Seer before deploying the name-sake card or by finding a Cavern of Souls and making the companion uncounterable.

The other standout from the Top 8 was BananasThrower’s Omni-Snow concoction that melds a Show and Tell combo deck with an Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath/Ice-Fang Coatl midrange deck.
