1. SCG Open Columbus (Standard)
První velká dvojka s Aether Revoltem přilákala 604 hráčů. Jako tři hlavní pilíře nového formátu se daly označit Saheeli Rai + Felidar Guardian, Winding Constrictor + Walking Ballista a Gideon + Heart of Kiran.
Nejúspěšnější decky turnaje hrály právě jednu z těchto tří karetních kombinací, včetně všech decků v top8, ve které byly tři BG Aggra, GW Tokeni, Mardu Vehicly, Jeskai Control se Saheeli a dva čtyřbarevné midrange se Saheeli.
Finále byl souboj dvou BG decků, ve kterém Brennan DeCandio (verze s Mindwrack Demonem) porazil Stephena Dykmana (verze s Glint-Sleeve Siphonerem). Podařilo se mu tak něco, co bylo až doteď doménou pouze Toma Rosse - zvítězil na dvou po sobě jdoucích Open!
Úplně nejhranějšími decky byly různé verze Saheeli komba a neztratili se ani GW Tokeni. Zde je kompletní přehled decků z top64:
- 12× Jeskai Saheeli
- 10× 4C Saheeli
- 8× GW Tokens
- 7× GB Aggro
- 6× 4C/Mardu Vehicles
- 3× Grixis Zomb-Emerge
- 2× 4C Saheeli Aetherworks
- 2× UW Aggro
- BW Aggro
- UR Control
- UB Control
- BR Zombies
- BG Delirium
- UW Spirits
- Bant Eldrazi
- Jeskai Control
- Jund Energy Aggro
- Jeskai Panharmonicon
- RW Humans
- UB Planeswalker Control
- GR Energy Aggro
- Temur Aetherworks
Nejpopulárnější deck vůbec byl Jeskai Control se Saheeli. Většina verzí měla klasické prvky kontrolu, ale navíc v decku hrála kombo. Osobně musím říci, že mi i tak přijde, že kombo do decku nepatří, jelikož obě karty jsou samy o sobě dost slabé a do jinak kontrolního decku se příliš nehodí. Někteří hráči se alespoň snažili do decku přidat další cíle pro Felidara v podobě Oathů, nebo Whirler Virtuosa.
K vidění byla ale i ryze kontrolní verze bez komba, nebo naopak kombocentrická verze s Panharmoniconem, která mi na pohled přijde velmi zábavná.

Velmi oblíbená byla mezi hráči i čtyřbarevná verze Saheeli komba. Jednotlivé verze decku se hodně lišily, jelikož do 4C goodstuffu si prostě každý může dát, co se mu zlíbí. Většina měla ale stejný základ s energy kartami jako Attune the Aether, Harnessed Lightning a Rogue Refiner. Někdo pak hrál více planeswalkerů, nejrůznější Oathy, Verdurous Gearhulky, Elder Deep-Fiendy, Avacyn, apod... Jeden odvážlivec dokonce deck zkombinoval s Aetherwork Marvely, takže k tomu hrál ještě Ulamogy.

Po Saheeli kombu byli trochu překvapivě nejúspěšnějším deckem GW Tokeni. Deck hodně vytěžil z banování a zároveň do něj přibyly kvalitní kusy jako Heart of Kiran, Rishkar a Walking Balista. Deck byl k vidění ve dvou různých verzích, kdy jedna hrála s Ballistou Verdurous Gearhulka a druhá Avacyn, což byl takový flashback do doby, kdy se v decku hrávalo minikombo s Avacyn a Hangarback Walkerem.

Zcela nový rozměr dostaly BG decky, kterým přibyl do vínku Winding Constrictor. Ten umožňuje postavit agresivní verzi decku s pěknými synergiemi. Dvě nejlepší karty s ním jsou určitě Rishkar a Verdurous Gearhulk (to je opradu masakr, zvláště pokud můžete dát countery na více bytostí). Další klíčový kus v tématice plusových žetonů je samozřejmě Walking Ballista, který je zároveň i výborný enabler deliria pro Grim Flayera, nebo Mindwrack Demona. Removal package pak vylepšil Fatal Push.
Deck byl k vidění ve třech verzích. První hrála více delirium synergií s Traversem a Mindwrack Demonem, druhá využívala toho, že "haďák" přidává i energy countery a hrála Glint-Sleeve Siphonery a Aethersphere Harvestory. Třetí pak byla více agresivní a hrála Heart of Kiran.
K vidění byla ale i starší verze s tématikou graveyard rekurze, která právě nejvíce uvítala Ballistu, jenž výrazně pomáhal s dosažením deliria.

Nejúspěšnější čistokrevné aggro byly Mardu (4C) Vehicly, kterým se docela dařilo i bez Smuggler's Coptery, kterou nahradilo Heart of Kiran. Jako hlavní plus se ale jevilo vydání dvou skvělých jednomavých removalů v podobě Fatal Pushe a Shocku.
Konzistenci decku také zlepšila Spire of Industry, která pomáhá s černou splashí a případně i s kántrováním v sidu. V tomto ohledu byl super Metallic Rebuke, který ukázkově spolupracuje s Thraben Inspectorem a Heart of Kiran.

2. SCG Classic Columbus (Modern & Standard)
Modernové klasiky se účastnilo 234 hráčů. Turnaj byl velmi zajímavý ze dvou důvodů - po banu dost oslabily skoro všechny hlavní kombodecky na formátu a zároveň to byl první velký turnaj s Fatal Pushem.
Ani jedna z těchto změn se ale nedotkla Ad Nauseamu, se kterým celý turnaj opanoval Danny Spencer.
Top16 tu měla následující složení:
- 3× Bant Eldrazi
- 2× Melira Company
- 2× Affinity
- Ad Nauseam
- Grishoalbrand
- Jund
- Grixis Delver
- Esper Control
- RG TitanBreach
- Infect
- Death and Taxes
- Dredge
Eldrazi jakožto nejúspěšnější deck, to není moc překvapivé, jelikož ve "fér" metagame jsou nejlepším midrange deckem, protože jim takřka vůbec nevadí Lightning Bolt, ani Fatal Push.
Abzan Company slaví comeback, jelikož rychlejší kombodecky byly zpomaleny a po banu Grave Trolla hráči přestanou dávat do sidu tolik graveyard hatu.
A Affinita...
...je prostě Affinita (v jedné ale byla novinka v podobě dvou kusů Spire of Industry).
Nejzajímavější ale je, že jak Infect, tak i Dredge se i po banu dostaly do top16, což značí, že oba decky jsou stále konkurenceschopné. Jako deck, který si nejvíce polepšil díky Fatal Pushi, tu vypadá Esper Control ve draw-and-go stylu, se kterým byl devátý Ryan Hovis.
Celkem byly v top16 k vidění tři nové karty. V Melira Company byl k vidění Fatal Push a navíc i Renegade Railer, což je pěkná value bytost, která zároveň dokáže zreanimovat většinu kombo-kusů. A Fatal Push byl dále přítomen i v Grixis Delverovi (celý playset). Zajímavé je, že v Jundu, který skončil na pátém místě, nebyl ani jeden...

Novinka v podobě dvou stejných formátů ve dvou dnech příliš hráčů neoslovila, a tak se dvojkové klasiky zúčastnilo pouze 68 hráčů, což znamenalo pouhých šest kol základní části a top8.
Oproti Open se tu zadařilo UW Flashi se spirití subtématikou, když se s ním až do finále probojoval Brian Feria. Z vítězství se ale nakonec radoval Daniel Guajardo s BG Aggrem, které bylo částečně zaměřené na energy countery díky Longtusk Cubovi, Bristling Hydře a Glint-Sleeve Siphonerovi.

3. MTGO MOCS Playoff (Modern)
Pokud vám není plně jasný význam těchto zkratek, tak vězte, že se jednalo o prémiový turnaj na magic online, který byl pouze pro kvalifikované hráče. V podstatě je to nejprestižnější turnaj na mtgo, kde se oba finalitsté kvalifikují na Magic Online Championship 2017 a získají pozvánku na Pro Tour.
Na turnaji bylo zajímavé, že se jednalo o formát, který byl specifický pouze pro tento jeden turnaj - na MTGO totiž ještě nebyly k dispozici karty z Aeter Revolt, ale zároveň už tu byl platný nový banlist, takže se nemohla hrát Gitaxian Proba, ani Golgari Grave-Troll.
Navzdory tomu, že nebyl k dispozici Fatal Push, tak na turnaji triumfoval Corey Burkhart se svou srdeční záležitostí v podobě Grixis Controlu, když ve finále porazil Bant Company Steva Rubina. Corey udělal velmi poučné video s komentářem k některým jeho zápasům, které rozhodně stojí za shlédnutí.

4. Duel Commander Hradec Králové
První velký tuzemský duel commander po uvedení Commander 2016 na trh se opět mohl pochlubit vyčerpanou maximální kapacitou, což znamenalo 63 hráčů (kapacita byla 64, nicméně jeden člověk nedorazil).
Poté, co po releasu Aether Revolt nebyly žádné změny v banlistu, se pomalu, ale jistě utvořila čtveřice tier decků, které mají větší náskok před zbytkem herního pole. Tyhle decky tu byly jednak čtyři nejhranější, ale také plně obsadily celou top8!
Byli to Vial Smasher (9 hráčů), Breya (5 hráčů), Geist (5 hráčů) a Zurgo Bellstriker (4 hráči). Celkem bylo na turnaji k vidění 39 různých generálů (či partner kombinací), včetně jedné novinky v podobě Barala, Chief of Compliance.
V top8 měla největší zastoupení Breya se třemi hráči (dva hráli komboverzi, jeden kontrol), dva zástupce tu měli Zurgo a Geist (s tím, že třetí Zurgo se jako jediný se 4:1:1 nedostal do top8) a zbylý deck byl Vial Smasher s Reyhanem (tuhle kombinaci hrál přitom pouze jeden hráč, ostatní hráli Smashera s Kraumem, nebo Thrasiosem).
Největší úspěch měli v top8 zástupci z pardubické Tolarie, kteří zde byli hned ve třech (já byl suverénně nejhorší z našeho auta :) a také zcela opanovali finále, ve kterém Jakub Mejznar se Zurgem (velmi pěkná burn-heavy verze) porazil 2:1 Breyu Daniela Tocháčka.
Všechny decklisty z top8 si můžete prohlédnout zde.
5. Lord of the Seas Milán (Leviathan Commander)
Leviathan Commander je alternativa duel commanderu, která se hraje na původních 30 životů, a také má trochu rozdílný banlist (hlavní rozdíly jsou, že jsou jako generálové povolení Marath a Yisan a není tu Balance).
Tohle byl první velký turnaj v leviathanu vůbec, když se ho zúčastnilo 99 hráčů, včetně české výpravy, která tu oslavila úspěch v podobě třetího místa Radka Zeliny s Jenarou.
Celkové výsledky ale naznačují, že se oba duel commander formáty příliš neliší. Jako hlavní rozdíl vnímám to, že na třicet životů není konkurenceschopný Zurgo a naopak je o dost lepší High Tide kombo.
Vítězem se stal Michele Atzeni s Grixis Controlem (Vial Smasher + Kraum), když ve finále porazil Geista. Další decky v top8 byly zmiňovaná Jenara a dále Titania, Jace, Teferi (čili dvě High Tide komba) a další Grixis Smasher s Geistem.
Decklisty z top8 najdete zde.
6. Duel Commander Libourne
Do třetice tu máme commander, přičemž tenhle turnaj byl se šestačtyřiceti hráči nejmenším ze všech tří. O to zajímavější decky se tu ale daly nalézt na předních příčkách.
V top8 sice byl dvakrát Geist (ten celý turnaj vyhrál), dvakrát Zurgo a Grixis Smasher, ale zbylé tři decky rozhodně stály za pozornost. První bylo artefaktové aggro v boros barvách s dvojicí genrálů Akiri a Bruse Tarl. Na decku je trochu atypické, že ačkoli je to Boros aggro, tak je celkem synergistický. Zvláště bych zmínil karty jako Bastion Protector a Kabira Evangel, které pěkně spolupracují s Akiri.
Velmi zvláštní kombinaci Reyhan + Bruse Tarl dovedl až k pátému místu Anthony Picaud. Tahle dvojkombinace generálů je lepší alternativa s Saskii (která je mimochodem i tak součástí decku), zejména Bruse je super, jelikož představuje obrovský "life swing", což je skvělé v souboji s jinými agresivními decky. Jediná věc, která mi na decku přijde trochu podezřelá, je velký počet karet, které ubírají životy (Anguished Unmaking, Ulcerate, Fire Covenant). Ty mi totiž přijdou dost pofidérní proti Geistovi, Zurgovi i Grixis Smasherovi.
Poslední pěkný deck bylo RG Aggro s Radhou. Byla to klasické potvůrkové aggro, které bylo doplněno o nějaký ten burn. Jenom mi přijde, že není úplně dobré deck stavět jako napůl midrange, jelikož na tomto formátu mi přijde daleko důležitější útočit od prvních kol, než hrát pomalejší kusy jako Thragtusk, Flametongue Kavu, nebo Huntmaster (v decku navíc nebyli manovači).

7. Bonus I - Aether Revolt na modernu a legacy
Zatímco na MTGO ještě Fatal Push nebyl legální, tak v reálu už se hráči nemohli dočkat, až se projeví jeho vliv na eternal formátech.
Největší modern (když opomeneme SCG) v prvním týdnu s Aether Revoltem se konal v holandském Utrechtu, kam si přišlo zahrát 134 hráčů. Ve finále byly dva decky, které Aether Revolt takřka vůbec neovlivnil - Bant Knightfall a UWR Tempo.
Kromě toho ale byly v top8 i dva Grixis Controly, které hrály shodně dva kusy Fatal Pushů. Hned tři kusy byly k vidění v Abzanu, což je pochopitelné, jelikož bez červené nemáte Bolt, ani Terminaci. Zajímavé ale také je, jaká byla v decku skladba bytostí, kterou dozajista také ovlivnil Fatal Push. Byla tu hned dvojice Tasigurů a také další "těžkotonážní" bytosti v podobě Coursera a Siege Rhinů. A v sidu byla k vidění ještě jedna nová karta v podobě Yahenni's Expertise.

Další větší modern byl v americkém Dentonu, kde se konalo StarcityGames IQ, které se zúčastnilo 60 hráčů.
Hned tři decky tu hrály Fatal Push - vítězný Jund dva kusy, Ad Nauseam tři v sidu a v dalším Jund byl jakožto one-of.
Hned dvě nové karty jsme mohli vidět v Lantern Controlu, kde byl one-of Battle at the Bridge (flavor win) a dvakrát Spire of Industry.
Opravdovou chuťovku hrál Zac Elsik, jenž skončil šestý s "Cheerios". Pokud nevíte, o čem je řeč, tak vězte, že Cherrios je vlastně storm deck, který vyhrává za pomocí Puresteel Paladina a nově i Srama, kteří v kombinaci s equipmenty za nula man, Mox Opalem a Retractem umožní líznout celý deck v jednom kole a poté zabít soupeře Grapeshotem. Myslím si, že deck má ještě velké rezervy v sidu (velmi problematické jsou karty jako Thalia a Stony Silence), ale rozhodně má velký potenciál.

Do třetice tu máme legačku, konkrétně Face to Face Games Legacy Showdown, kterého se zúčastnilo padesát hráčů.

Vítězem se stal Boston Schatteman s klasickým 4C Delverem, ve kterém nehrál Fatal Push. K vidění byl ale ve druhém finálovém decku, kterým byl BUG Control.
A hned celý playset hrál v UB Landstillu Lam Phan, který skončil osmý. Pokud vám tohle jméno přijde povědomé, tak to je zřejmě proto, že Lam byl s Landstillem v top8 na největší legacy GP všech dob, New Jersey 2014.

8. Bonus II - Standard Monowhite Midrange
Eldrazi jsou bezpochyby velice silným tribem a konkurenceschopným deckem na modernu i na legacy, nicméně na standardu se jim nikdy nijak extra nedařilo, což přisuzuji zejména tomu, že není úplně snadné takový deck dobře postavit, narozdíl od jiných decků jako Jeskai Saheeli, BG, nebo Vehicly, což jsou decky, které se vlastně skládají skoro samy...
Že ale mohou eldrazi konkurovat těm nejlepším dvojkovým deckům dokázal Shou Ishikawa, který obsadil čtvrté místo na PPTQ Kyoto, kterého se účastnilo 111 hráčů, s pěkným Monowhite Midrangem.
V decku byly karty se silným power levelem jako Heart of Kiran a Gideon, minikombo Avacyn a Selfless Spirit, ale také Eldrazi Displacer a Though-Knot Seer.
