With a fresh metagame to dive into, players were excited to test their new brews and battle for a chance to qualify for a spot on the Players Tour. Surprisingly, the Top 8 contained only one new deck – Gyruda Combo – powered by Gyruda, Doom of Depths from Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.
The winning decklist, despite previously not holding a place in the Pioneer metagame, easily carved its way through the more established archetypes – proving once again that more stock, aggressive, red strategies still tend to dominate metagames in their infancy.
