There were two Magic Fest (formerly Grand Prix) events held last weekend, and one on the Standard format was in Memphis. There was only text coverage on Twitter so I was not able to witness the matches live though I just needed to appreciate the efforts of their coverage team in detailing the happenings during the Swiss rounds feature matches and on the Top 8 playoffs. Anywho, I am proud to share that the winning deck was from my favorite guild Rakdos and the build is on the midrange type with the top curve of the old school Siege-gang Commander and several powerful late game spells like The Eldest Reborn.
