Larsen earned an invite to the Kaldheim Championship and $1,500 by winning the 272-person event while only dropping a single match in the Swiss. After the breakout performance of Mono-White Aggro❄ last week, the top-performing aggro deck this week shifted back to one with Embercleave and Bonecrusher Giant. Four copies of Mono-Red Aggro❄ made the Top 12 this week while Mono-White Aggro❄ failed to make the elimination rounds despite being the fourth most-played deck in the field.
Larsen benefited from a bye in the Wild Card round of the Top 12 after ending the Swiss as the top seed before taking down Sol Malka on Selesnya Adventures in the quarterfinals. Larsen had to defeat Brandon Burton in a Mono-Red Aggro❄ mirror in the semis, setting up a finals match against Simon Kamerow on Jeskai Cycling (Lurrus). The match went the distance but the Grand Prix Lyon 2017 champ came out on top.
Outside of four copies of Mono-Red Aggro❄ in the Top 12, the other decks with multiple pilots were Naya Adventures and Jeskai Cycling (Lurrus). The metagame breakdown for decks with more than two pilots in the event can be seen below.
