Game 3 saw Calcano mulligan to five cards, while Beardsley started with a Turn 1 Fury plus Feign Death to begin attacking for eight damage a turn…which quickly overwhelmed Calcano’s much slower start. Beardsley roared back in Game 2 by playing Dauthi Voidwalker on Turn 2, then using Thoughtseize on Turn 3 to force Calcano to discard Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, which was exiled by Beardsley’s Dauthi Voidwalker, allowing Beardsley to sacrifice the Voidwalker and cast Ulamog for the Turn 3 win. In Game 1, Calcano was able to assemble Tron plus Karn, the Great Creator to take over the game. Tron is focused on assembly the three Urza lands- Urza’s Mine, Urza’s Power Plant, and Urza’s Tower-as early as possible to make a ton of mana to play expensive, game-ending threats like Karn Liberated and Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. The deck sometimes play out like a midrange deck but its best starts are those of a combo deck, combining “pitch” evoke creatures like Fury and Grief with either Undying Malice or Feign Death to get two enters the battlefield triggers from his evoke creatures and a giant threat…all on Turn 1.īeardsley faced Calcano in the finals, who is a long time veteran of the Pro Tour circuit and made his first Top 8 at Pro Tour The Lord of the Rings with Mono-Green Tron. He played the most popular deck at the tournament, Rakdos Evoke, which made up nearly 20% of the field. It was quite the weekend for Beardsley-not only did he become a Pro Tour champion at his very first Pro Tour, but it was also his birthday weekend. Jake Beardsley, piloting Rakdos Evoke, defeated Christian Calcano and his Mono-Green Tron deck three games to two in the finals to win Pro Tour The Lord of the Rings.
