Led by Jegantha, the Wellspring, Phil_Ivey’s five-color deck had a little bit everything to get the job done on Saturday. With three Evolving Wilds, two Tranquil Coves, and singletons of Rugged Highlands, Wind-Scarred Crag, and Savai Triome, mana certainly wasn’t an issue for the prolific Magic Online personality. But to go alongside the great mana base was a powerful mutate subtheme, headlined by two Mysterious Eggs and singletons of Pollywog Symbiote, Necropanther, Lore Drakkis, Boneyard Lurker, and Snapdax, Apex of the Hunt.

Phil_Ivey matched up against CitrusD — better known as Tom Ross — in the finals. Ross drafted a strong Boros deck in the elimination rounds, headlined by Savai Thundermare and Yidaro, Wandering Monster. Ross took to Twitter to celebrate his accomplishment, noting that notching his Super Qualifier finals appearance was quite the uphill climb.
