RIW WEEKLY TOURNAMENT REVIEW

RIW WEEKLY TOURNAMENT REVIEW

BY RIW HOBBIES

It was another fantastic week of events here at the store in Livonia, Michigan and today we’ll be recapping last week’s action and looking forward to next week’s in-store Magic: the Gathering events.

7-26 WEDNESDAY NIGHT (6PM, $5) PAUPER

The Pauper Metagame at the store continues to be extremely diverse…

“21 Players

4 mono Red

2 Boros Synthesizer

2 Dimir Terror

2 Mono Blue Terror

2 Tron

9 Other

First week where Commander Masters downshifts are legal in Pauper. Too early to see any meta changes, however I am interested to see what archetypes pop up with the 41 new downshifted cards.

Jason G went 3-0 with “Swamps Matter” Homebrew.” –Kayla

7-27 THURSDAY NIGHT (6PM, $5) PIONEER

Another strong showing from the Pioneer fans here at the store!

“12 players

2 UR Phoenix

1 Greasefang

1 Mono Green

1 Rakdos Sacrifice

1 4C Elementals

1 Lotus Field

1 Mono Red Aggro

1 UW Control

1 Jund

1 Grixis Control

1 Rakdos Midrange.” –Gabe

If you’re looking for somewhere to play with a wide open metagame it doesn’t get much better than this! All different decks in the field this week including some spicy brews.

“”Pioneer Top Table in Round 3.” –Brenda
