Grand Prix: Sendai – Top 8 Results

Wizards should be posting the top 8 of the GP soon on their official tournament website, but for those of us who wish to be working with the new tech as soon as possible, I have done the hard labor of translating the results that I have found.  I hope you all appreciate the effort…

Next Level Bant is the best deck by far, keep playing that KYT 🙂

FrançoisB

So sad that agro decks cant cut it anymore. Unfortunatly, I like to play agro. Someone out there will find a way to make it work eventually, until then, I will scoop to Gideon, Elspeth, wall of Omen, Baneslayer, kor firewalker etc. etc. Im not saying the meta is bad or that it is unfair my playstyle isnt favored, but I wont add another 500$ to my MTG budget so I can play tier1 decks instead of tier 1.5.

Adam

I think Next Level Bant is really good, mostly because it's doing a really good job of evolving with the format. Other decks are fairly stagnate, including U/W, but will eventually evolve to match it, or continue to stagnate and die slowly as the format moves beyond them.

Martin

Are those really Jund Panoramas in Shota Yasooka's Jund list? I think they should be Savage Lands?

KYT

Martin, you are right. I double-checked and they should be Savage Lands. Sorry for the mix-up, I tried to get these to the public as fast as I could.

Martin

Thanks!

good to see jund is still up there (bash me if you will, but i like paying 500$ less for a tier 1 deck)
