Clan Trophies : SPDC 26.04 and MPDC 26.04

Come on, let's play SPDC !

Hi there !

It's good to be back after a long break from MTGO. Meeting you all again and chatting while burning some Magic cards.

Yes, there's a new client called V4. It is what it is, no further discussion though there's still a lot of work to achieve before wan call MTGO a nice gaming experience online. Getting used to new things is not easy as you all know. Nevermind the 3 deconnections I experienced yesterday in MPDC during my only two rounds of swiss, nevermind the delays at displaying what's going on on the battlefield, still there is fun included and that is all that matters afterall.

In the past two days two new trophies arrived at the Clan Trophy Hall. 

Well, virtually at least, they shall soon become reality.

Last Sunday we had SPDC 26.04, hosted by RRemedio instead of DrChrisbacker, really busy and doing well so far at GP Salt Lake City. 12 players joined the event. We all know Sundays suffer from event traffic jams, but come on, join the Standard Pauper cause and attend SPDC !

So here’s how it went, you can find the event recap here :

Bigbee’s White Weenie took the win after three rounds of swiss and a top 4 cut off.

Sungrace Pegasus and Heliod’s Pilgrim are both wonderful additions to the archetype, and this list will be difficult to beat this season, furthermore driven by Bigbee’s hands.

Congratulations !!!

No more Radiant Fountain! “

And Sunday saw another White based list taking the second finish place. A deck called WB Aura, piloted by Clan mate Beatnik Bobby. The list features more Heroic creatures than Bigbee’s list shown above and makes graveyard creature recursion a viable option with Font of Return. It also includes Crypt Incursion, and more surprisingly, Eternal Thirst.

It’s interesting to check that both lists are very well shafted to face Dimir Mill, maindeck and also after sideboarding cards like Razortip Whip and Eyes in the Skies. 

And the day after SPDC comes MPDC. That was yesterday evening for Europe, once again successfully hosted by Gwyned. 25 players attended the event, you can find the recap here :

Congratulations to Clan mate MyGalaxy, winner after 4 rounds of Swiss and a top 8 cut off. He’s been competing well lately with a list of his own, inherited from last season and taking advantage of the freshly released Invasive Species. And it’s a  Four colors list, I’m sure Godzo‘s stats on the format winners will appreciate that fact. Private joke about our clan’s private forums, don’t pay attention unless you want to join them and take part in the discussions.  So here’s the winning list, and it fared well against most of the current archetypes in the metagame.

And I won:) With some amount of luck of course:))”

Luck for sure, it’s needed, but this list is well tuned and original and I can see why it is successful in this environment. Maindecking Negates, Duress and Peel from Reality, you don’t see that everyday. The sideboard is really versatile, tuned v/s Mill and WW, and I would give a special mention for Pillar of Light. It ruins most biggies‘dreams.

And now a quick look at the contender, Bigbee again with the same exact list that won SPDC, just scroll up ! Congrats Mr Bigbee !

Now stay tuned and may the shuffler be with you until next week’s events.

I’ll just spend some time purchasing the M15 commons playsets and rebuilding my decks.

See you in Just For Fun soon.

Adner.
