The UnLegendary format was used for this tournament. Having been announced less than two weeks prior to the event, the tournament favored players already familiar with the format or able to invest time to identify a strong metagame selection. The deck to beat was NU Broodqueen Tracker which dominated the tournament and appeared in fifteen of the Top 16 decklists. The one exception was a Tempys burn deck with a Nekrium splash for Grimgaunt Predator piloted by tournament leaderboard staple, Technonaut.

It was a long day of mirrors and only one Broodqueen wrangler could emerge victorious. Congratulations, Otsis!
