Continuing its domination of Core Set 2021 Standard, Temur Reclamation proved once again to be the deck to beat this weekend — boasting a 56% win-rate, the second highest percentage of the metagame at 13.5878% (Bant Ramp 15.5725%), and the most represented deck in the Top 8 with three copies.

After making short work of the Top 8 competition, the Finals came down to a Temur Reclamation mirror match between Ikawa and MPL member Javier Dominguez.

In the end, Ikawa was able to out ramp Dominguez and closed out the final match with a quick 2-0 sweep, making him the Red Bull Untapped International Qualifier II champion.
