Inglis emerged victorious from a Top 8 bracket with five other copies of Four-Color Ramp a day after he finished fourth in the sixth Championship Qualifier of Season Two, where the deck took seven of the Top 8 finishes. Inglis, the winner of the fifth Championship Qualifier on September 7, now has five Top 8s on the SCG Tour Online, which has only held twelve events.

This weekend originally looked to have a fresh new Standard format following rotation and the release of Zendikar Rising, but after four rounds of Saturday’s Championship Qualifier things were anything but that. Four-Color Ramp absolutely dominated both events with 55% of the field playing the deck on Saturday to 67% of the field playing the deck on Sunday. Four-Color Ramp combined for thirteen of the sixteen decks to Top 8 on the weekend, including all of the Top 4 for each event.

Inglis defeated Kevin Perez, one of two players not on Four-Color Ramp in the Top 8 of the Season Championship, in the quarterfinals. Perez played Sultai Control, going 3-1 against Four-Color Ramp in the Swiss, but ultimately fell to the format’s top deck in a three-game set.


From there, Inglis faced mirror matches, though builds of the deck varied from player to player. Inglis took down Nicholas Price and his three copies of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon in the maindeck 2-1 before defeating Kouhei Kimura and their Four-Color Ramp deck 2-0 in the finals despite their four maindeck copies of Confounding Conundrum.

While all builds of Four-Color Ramp revolved around Omnath, Locus of Creation, Lotus Cobra, Escape to the Wilds, and Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath, the rest of the deck could be customized. Inglis opted for Beanstalk Giant over Cultivate, maindeck copies of Mystical Dispute but not Negate, three copies of Genesis Ultimatum, two copies of Thundering Rebuke, and one copy of Kenrith, the Returned King and Terror of the Peaks.

The only other different deck in the Top 8 was Camilo Mora’s Gruul Adventures, who also finished in ninth place on Saturday.

Inglis’ build varied greatly from Julian Felix Flury, who won Saturday’s Championship Qualifier with no copies of Genesis Ultimatum, instead loading up on four Negates and three Ugins in the maindeck. Both winners on the weekend did not play Confounding Conundrum while each of their opponents in the finals did.
