Impressive. The 2 finalists were using aggro decks with no or few legendaries.
No Recruit Hunter, no Shudderwock, no Cube or Malaygos Druid.
in the right hands budget decks are competitive.

This is the video of the 1st day, title is wrong.
There are always Youtube channels that have the matches (or at least some of them), like this one.
Zero Warriors.
Well, this may be the price for Pirate Glory times.
When Boomsday comes out, Warrior will probably one of the most prevalent classes.
I hope...
Someone could have played regular Quest warrior, still an effective deck in the meta, especially versus odd R/P.
