Day 2 Coverage 1,265 players had been in the running originally, full of hopes for fame and fortune, dreams of points and prizes. After the first day's nine Standard rounds, however, all but 426 of them were eliminated. This Sunday morning, 426 players returned, for another six rounds of Standard and for a shot at the Top 8. At the start of the day, several big names found themselves in a good position to make a run at the playoffs, including (1) Márcio Carvalho, (21) Joel Larsson, Andrea Mengucci, Petr Sochůrek, Federico Del Basso, and Shota Takao, all with a record of 8-1. Takao's deck in particular raised more than a few eyebrows. While most everyone else was copying Cats and crewing Vehicles, the Japanese player was reshaping matter and smashing realities with his Black-Red Eldrazi deck, proving that Standard still had room left to explore. Stay tuned throughout the day for more Standard action and decklists and for all the latest straight from the battlefield of Grand Prix Barcelona 2017!
