Coverage
Metagame
Last week’s event was postponed resulting from an emergency banning of Field of the Dead (read announcement here), and the Historic metagame has been shaken up but once more. Sultai Ramp was probably the most represented deck on this week’s event, supported by the standard suspect playing cards however the win fee didn’t assist its reputation.
Midrange and management methods try to flourish once more with out the banned land, and Azorius/Bant Control, Jund Citadel and Rakdos Arcanist are nicely represented right here with the Rakdos deck having the perfect win fee amongst them. The extra nicely refined decks, Mono Blue and Goblins, fared particularly nicely in a brand new metagame.
