There were quite a number of winning deck archetypes in the Open tournament, and many had very similar themes. People often like to emulate a particular build to better suit their personal play styles, but many look to the professionals for ideas on how best to make their next deck. Here is a list of the decks that won, and the most popular of the archetypes ended up utilizing both of the freshly banned cards before they were officially banned (the ban took effect June 1st). It was incredible to see the types of combos and strategies people managed to home brew for the purpose of the tournament, but at the end of the day, the “Jeskai Lukka” stormed the competition, boasting a 7-0 win rate on multiple occasions. I honestly can’t wait to see when the next tournament will be and what changes it’ll bring to the current meta.

ReplyDeleteHey Guillermo! I have played some Magic casually with my friends, but have definitely done better having pre-made decks. Sometimes we do drafts where we buy a bunch of cards and build decks to play with. I could definitely use some tips on deck building so thanks for posting!
