Temur Reclamation was the most played deck in the Seasonal Championship with 25 players registering it, while eight more played the four-color variant with Teferi, Time Raveler. Four other Reclamation players made the Top 8 alongside Ichikawa, leaving Michael Bonde on Rakdos Sacrifice (Jegantha), Noam Zimet on Bant Ramp, and Robert McKee on Mono-Red Aggro as the rest of the bracket.

Ichikawa took down Bonde in tight three-game set in the quarterfinals before eliminating Nam Dang on Four-Color Reclamation in another match that went the distance. Waiting in the finals was McKee, with his own personal take of Mono-Red Aggro, ditching Runaway Steam-Kin for cards like Bolt Hound and Claim the Firstborn.


Ichikawa stabilized in Game 1 at one life before landing an Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath to take over the game and he didn’t need a third game after finding plenty of early interaction backed up by an Elder Gargaroth to secure the match.

Other Reclamation players to make the Top 8 were Ryosuke Nishiura, Hiroki Yamashita, and Corey Baumeister. Baumeister was in his third Top 8 of the five events in the first season, making back-to-back elimination rounds this weekend, losing to McKee in the quarterfinals after falling to Brandon Burton on Mono-Red Aggro in the quarterfinals of Saturday’s Championship Qualifier.
