Videos: All top 8 decks tested in Proving Grounds!

[GPrime]

I had a record-long stream today where I tested out every one of the top 8 decks being used in the finals, playing three games each. Here are the results and links to each:

Chili's Mono-Ruby Aggro : 3-0

Disordia's Blood/Ruby Midrange: 1-2

Juzamjedi's Diamond/Sapphire Evasion: 3-0

Grum's Blood/Ruby Control: 3-0

Wurtil's Blood/Ruby/Sapphire Control: 3-0

Frey's Blood/Ruby Control: 1-2

Raxxor's Blood/Ruby Midrange: 2-1

Ruby's Diamond/Sapphire Tempo: 2-1


Clearly Blood/Ruby is the most-represented deck in the finals, being in a majority of decks (and probably making Xentoth's Inquisitor the MVP of the event.) With that said, one of those decks statistically has the best chance at taking first place. Still, I have a soft spot for Chili's Mono-Ruby deck--which I certainly didn't expect to see in the finals--and Juzamjedi's Diamond/Sapphire deck.

Of course, given the random nature of Proving Grounds, these matches aren't necessarily representative of how powerful each deck is. Still, if anyone wanted to see any of these decks in action before the tournament tomorrow, here's your chance!

If you like what you see, please follow my channel, and don't forget to watch Twitch for the finals tomorrow at 11:00am EST!

Did I miss something somewhere? Where were these deck lists posted and who won?

EDIT:  nvm found them.  For some reason the boards weren't showing a new thread indicator even though there was one in the contact your opponent section.

I can't believe you only went 1-2 with my deck.

As I say, my matches aren't representative of deck power!

But also, you got pretty good draws in the finals =)
