1. GP Detroit (Modern)

Navzdory tomu, že formát okupovali Eldrazi, se mohlo GP Detroit pyšnit účastí 2 553 hráčů, mezi kterými byl opět i Ondřej Stráský.
Tentokrát už snad nemohlo vůbec nikoho překvapit, že nejúspěšnějším deckem ve druhém dni byli UW Eldrazi, které hrálo 26 hráčů v top100. Celkově bylo v první stovce dokonce 47 Eldrazi decků. Jediný další deck, který měl v první stovce zastoupení alespoň deseti kusů, byla Melira Company.
A mezi těmi deseti kusy byl nakonec i celkový vítěz, kterým se stal Ralph Betesh. V jeho verzi nebylo nic neobvyklého, pouze snad jeden Intrepid Hero v sidu…

Kromě chuťovek jako Golgari Brownscale a Vengeful Pharaoh se mi na decku líbily hlavně dvě specialitky – první byl playset Conflagrate, který je díky Loamu regulérní winkondice (většinou se vám nahromadí spoustu zemí v ruce) a konečně druhá, kterou byl one-of Craterhoof Behemoth, ke kterému tu byly také one-of Unburial Rites.

2. GP Boloňa (Modern)

Velmi pěkná účast byla i v Itálii – 2 176 hráčů. Pokud nepočítáme Modern Masters v Utrechtu, tak za poslední rok bylo jediné evropské GP s účastí přes 2 000 v Londýně, které ale pořádalo SCG...
Do Itálie samozřejmě vyrazilo i spoustu českých hráčů, v coverage jich lze najít 31 a z toho se jich šestnáct dostalo do druhého dne.
Nejlépe si z nich vedl Jaroslav Bouček, který se s klasickým buildem UW Eldrazi dokázal probojovat až do top8, kde nakonec vypadl v mirroru s pozdějším vítězem.
Další čestí hráči na honorovaných pozicích byli:
- Lukáš Blohon – 27. místo
- Lukáš Fadrný – 58. místo
- Martin Hrycej – 65. místo
- Tomáš Krejsa – 92. místo
- Tobiáš Dombek – 206. místo
- Ivan Gruber – 259. místo
- Jan Aubrecht – 286. místo
Co se týče nejúspěšnějších decků, tak i tady byli nejhranějším deckem UW Eldrazi, kteří po prvním dni obsadili šestadvacet míst v top100. Eldrazi celkem zabrali v top100 devětatřicet míst a druhým nejhranějším bylo i tady Melira Company. Další populární deck byly Affinita, UW Control a Living End.
A jak už jsem nakousnul, tak pro celkové vítězství si dokráčeli UW Eldrazi, když Kayure Patel porazil ve finále v mirroru Alberta Mattioliho.

Jednoznačně nejzajímavější deck v top8 bylo Bant Company Alessandra Lippiho. V jeho decku bylo několik velmi zajímavých karet proti Eldrazi – kromě již profláknutého Intrepid Hera tu byl Reflector Mage a hlavně Phantasmal Image. Zkopírovat si Seera nebo Drownera za pouhé dvě many mi přijde super. Další neobvyklá volba byl Meddling Mage, kterého oceníte zejména proti kombům, jako je Scapeshift, nebo Living End.

Další zajímavý deck byl na patnáctém místě, šlo o Jeskai Ascendancy Nilse Gutierreze Von Porat.

Hlavní inovace spočívala v zařazení Pyromancer Ascension, která hodně usnadní kombo rozjezd. V sidu pak byly alternativní winkondice v podobě Young Pyromancera a Monastery Mentora.

Poslední pěkný deck v top32 byl Bring to Light Scapeshift Ivana Pistamiglia. V decku nechyběly klasiky jako Sakura, Search for Tommorow, nebo Cryptic Command. Inovace spočívala v zařazení Path to Exile, Supreme Verdictů a většího počtu Snapcasterů. Sympatické mi také přijde, že se Ivan nesnažil hrát žádné speciální one-ofy k Bringu (některé verze hrají karty jako Haunting Wilds, nebo Pia and Kiran Nalaar) a vsadil pouze na ty nejlepší kusy.

3. GP Melbourne (Modern)

Podle očekávání bylo nejkomornější z trojice GP to v Melbourne, kam přišlo 1 105 hráčů, mezi kterými byla i většina pro hráčů z Asie.
Nejúspěšnějším deckem ve druhém dni byli naprosto nečekaně UW Eldrazi se 43 kopiemi v top100. Druhý nejhranější deck v top100 byla Affinita s jedenácti hráči, následovaná Melira Company a UW Controlem.
Velmi dobře se vedlo i Living Deadu, který byl sice v top100 pouze čtyřikrát, nicméně jeho nejhorší umístění bylo 26. příčka, na které skončil domácí Stephen Mulcahy. Zbylí tři hráči byli asijští profíci – Lee Shi Tian, Yuuki Ichikawa a Kentaro Yamamoto a všichni se s deckem dostali do top8. Tam sice nestačili na Eldrazi (i tady byl ve finále mirror), ale i tak je to celkem velký úspěch.

V top8 byl ještě jeden velmi zajímavý deck, kterým byla Zombie Infestation Jasona Chunga. Hlavní rozdíl oproti jiným verzím byl v tom, že Jason se více soustředil na kill pomocí Infestace, k čemuž tu měl hned celý playset Squeeho a Bloodghastů.
Mezi další zajímavé maindeck karty patří playset Darkblastů, one-of Necroplasm, nebo Deadly Allure. Na druhou stranu tu ale nechybí dvojice osvědčených karet, Vengeful Pharaoh a Conflagrate.

Více zajímavých decků bohužel v Melbourne nebylo, jelikož top32 byla naprosto zaplavená Eldrazi decky, kterých tam bylo mezi devátým a dvaatřicátým místem hned čtrnáct. Ban už naštěstí doslova klepe na dveře…
4. Magic Online PTQ (Standard)

Jedna z posledních možností, jak se kvalifikovat na PT Shadows over Innistrad byla na Modu a nenechalo si jí ujít 111 hráčů, což znamenalo sedm kol základní části a docela realistickou šanci, že do top8 se dostane i pár lidí s 5:2 (výhoda toho, že na MTGO nejsou remízy), což se nakonec poštěstilo jednomu hráči.
Nejúspěšnějším deckem bylo klasicky 4C Rally, které obsadilo čtyři místa v top8, z čehož se dva hráči dokázali kvalifikovat.
Nejzajímavějším deckem v kvalifikované čtyřce byl určitě UR Prowess, což je relativně rozšířený deck, nicméně s výjímkou top8 na SCG Open hned v prvním týdnu s OGW, se mu větší úspěchy vyhýbaly.
Na tomhle konkrétním buildu se mi nejvíce líbí extra bytosti v sidu (hlavně Manželé), ačkoli mi přijde že sidoboardy by mohl být ještě více orientovaný do grindy her, například zařazením Painful Truths.

5. Magic Online Standard Champs (Standard)

Dnešní poslední dvojka je opět z MTGO a dokonce se konala hned další den po PTQ. Účastnilo se jí 196 hráčů, což tentokráte znamenalo osm kol, ovšem bez možnosti ID v posledních kolech stačilo do top8 pár hráčům i 6:2.
Velmi úspěšný víkend měl evidentně hráč s nickem ArcaCrema, který po předchozí úspěšné kvalifikaci na PT s UR Prowessem dokázal vyhrát celý turnaj s naprosto totožnou verzí decku.
Překvapivá byla absence úplná decků s Collected Company v top8, kde kromě vítěze bylo 3× Abzan Aggro, Dark Jeskai, Mardu Green, Blue Eldrazi a Jeskai Draci.
Zajímavý sideboard ke svému Abzan Aggru měl „_goblinlackey“, který skončil na čtvrtém místě. Byl v něm hned playset Nissy, playset Transgressů a možnost nasidova Wingmate Rocy „do plných“. To je docela velká změna oproti jiným verzím Abzan Aggra, které mají v sidu obvykle větší množství Hallowed Moonlightů a různé one-ofy jako Ob Nixilis, Painful Truths, Duress, a etc…

Zajímavé také je, že v decku není Dig Through Time, místo kterých je tu playset Ugin’s Insight.

6. Duel Commander Academia de Jogos

V brazilském Sao Paulu se konal duel commander v rámci tamější celorošní série (každý měsíc jeden turnaj), kterého se zúčastnilo pěkných 56 hráčů (i když uvážíme-li, že aglomerace Sao Paulo má kolem 20 milionů obyvatel, tak je to vlastně dost směšné číslo).
Pro vítězství si doletěl se svou „Klikou“ (nebo spíš s Emrakulem - deck byl koncipován jako Polymorph kombo) Ricardo Venancio, když ve finále porazil Narset (klasická verze s extra koly a planeswalkery), pro kterou je monoblue jeden z nejhorších matchupů vůbec…
V top4 dále byly dva víceméně klaiskcé tier decky – Elfball s Yisanem a draw-and-go verze Geista, která samozřejmě obsahovala i nově povolenou Cataclysmu.
Ve zbytku top8 byl Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy (High Tide kombo), což je mimochodem jeden z mála decků mimo vintage, ve kterém si můžete zahrát kus z P9 (Timetwister), Maelstrom Wanderer (Blood Moon/Wildfire deck) a poté dvojice rogue decků – Arcum Daggson (artefaktový stax/kombo) a Tymaret, the Murder King (suicide aggro s kartami jako Magus of the Moon, Braids, nebo Contamination – osobně ale nedoporučuju hrát Demonic Consultation, jelikož je až moc velká šance, že vám prohraje hru, a kromě toho exilování dobrých karet je i tak dost na škodu).

7. Czech Legacy & Vintage Series #2/2016

V Najadě se začátkem března konala druhá letošní zastávka „Zuzy Cupu“. Bohužel, zatímco předchozí zastávka se mohla pyšnit velkou návštěvností na všech formátech, tak tentokráte si vysokou návštěvnost urdžela pouze legacy s devětadvaceti hráči (turnaj byl zároveň trial na Prague Eternal) – zbylých turnajů se zúčastnilo osm a méně hráčů.
Vítězství na legacy se dočkal Dominik Mikoláš se Shardless BUGem, když ve finále porazil agresivní verzi UR Delvera se Stormchaser Magem Jana Horčičky.
Celkové vedení v soutěži si upevnil Tomáš Laňka, který po minulé finálové účasti s Komboelfy tentokráte přidal top4 finish. Kromě Tomáše se v obou turnajích do top8 dostal už pouze Jan Zuskač – v obou případech se Sneak and Show.
