First ever set of Saturday Swisses was played last night. 44 Players joined into 3 flights of gameplay–1×16 player swiss and 2×14 player swisses. The Gladiator format stills seems wide open: a huge array of decks joined the fight covering every archetype and color (…and then some–shoutout to Griff-dog who brought a Dance of the Manse combo deck that went 0-4 but won the entertainment factor of the night).
This diversity was also seen in the top lists. Aggro, Tempo, Midrange, Control, Ramp, and Combo are all present in the top 25% of decks from the night.
The following 13 decks had winning records:
Flight #1
| Win/Loss | Deck | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 4-0 | Temur Ramp | Narwhalrus |
| 3-1 | Mardu Shonen | Dwaginz |
| 3-1 | Esper Control | DarkRider |
| 3-1 | Gladiator Stompy | Thaige |
Flight #2
| Win/Loss | Deck | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 4-0 | Gruul Aggro | Swankishdank |
| 3-1 | Izzet Tempo | Irishlawyer |
| 3-1 | Jeska Aggro | MuddyMundo |
| 3-1 | 4C Blood | Samsoni1 |
Flight #3
| Win/Loss | Deck | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 4-0 | Mardu Control | Tregelen |
| 3-1 | Bant Nexus | Archermaster24 |
| 3-1 | Mono Red Aggro | DeBugg |
| 3-1 | 5C Gruul | JimJambo |
| 3-1 | UG Ramp | Nlght |
Clearly there is still a home for almost any deck, so bust out your thinking caps and bring your spiciest lists!
We hope to repeat this event in the future. More gameplay and tournaments are always a plus. Keep an eye out for more unofficial and impromptu Saturday Swisses. Maybe You can solve the format!
