decklist ?
I feel like he is going to lose in the tournament because of this mage decklist :/
Nice, I need to improve my Malygos Druid game, I guess everyone will bring it, so I will definitely watch some of the tourney.
Have the decks been released anywhere yet?
Haven't found them yet but once I do I'll start adding them to the site. If someone manages to find them before me, let me know!
I only find thijs published his decklist https://twitter.com/G2Thijs/status/1028195734502486016
Noticed it too, just got them added. DeathBoose also tweeted his lineup so currently adding those. Will do a tour-de-twitter and check if others have posted their decks.
EDIT: Kalaxz and Yogg had also posted their (very similar) lineups. If someone wants to take a sneak peek to the current lists found, you can do so here.
Thijs mage deck is trash !
I lost 3 games in a row and dropped ranks like crazy.
The deck has no chance vs aggro board decks and it's 45 percent vs control at best.
Interestingly enough, Zoolock, the current meta tyrant, is out of radar so far.
Also, BD inclusions are minimal, like 2-4 cards per deck. While this is understandable, i expected more innovation.
Let's see the full lineup.
Go Mecha’Thun!!!
