The Empire Strikes Back at GP Umberdeep
Written by AllWhoWander
Revolution, February, 2022 –
The second tournament of Revolution’s sixth rotation concluded this past month. After a series of balance changes shook up the meta, players were eager to try out their new decks at Grand Prix Umberdeep. 18 players registered decks across 14 different archetypes, with favorite archetypes including last month’s GP-winning WR rebel aggro deck (starring Unburnt Maiden and Symbol of the Revolution), RB indulgence control (utilizing Grisly Musketeer and Feast of Crows to create a lock), and a league-winning GB ramp/midrange (featuring Vibrant Vengeance). In the end, PurpleMurasaki’s “new hotness”, a RB aggro deck helmed by Alehana the Persuader, faced off against ndb’s tried-and-tested GB Vibrant Vengeance rock deck.
After three close games, PurpleMurasaki emerged victorious, securing a coveted spot in the upcoming Revolution World Championship. When reflecting on their deck, PurpleMurasaki felt that Alehana the Persuader was the most valuable card and served as an inspiration for building the deck. A rare 4-of legendary creature in a 60-card format, Alehana provided a consistent source of damage throughout the game, and the 1/3 body served as an effective blocker against a sea of 2-power creatures.
How will the meta adapt to PurpleMurasaki’s tournament-winning deck? What balance changes will come to the format next month? And who will win the coveted last spot in Revolution’s Second Annual World Championship? The only way to find out is to join the revolution — there’s never been a better time to get involved!
