One of the prestigious Magic: the Gathering tournaments in Japan is the Japan Standard Cup, which was held last weekend & was hosted by Big Magic. This event featured the newest MTG set, Murders at Karlov Manor, which showed how the new cards would affect the Standard format.

With 448 participants, it is pretty high attendance and a lot of rounds of gameplay to determine which deck would be triumphant. After the smoke of the battle had settled, Dimir Aggro emerged as the best deck of the tournament. It finished at a record of 8-0-2 in the Swiss and disposed of a lot of other Top-Tier Standard decks in the playoffs.
