Recap of FMC1 tournament, which took place on Friday, December 22nd at 2:00 PM CET.
Tournament on Battlefy (brackets)
Winners
- SuperbLizard, Germany - 5 000 gold
- Donpork, Korea - 2500 gold
- Kodlaci, Hungary - 1000 gold
Featured Decks
- Y Events by SuperbLizard
1 faeria increase on Windstorm Charger by the latest balance-patch changed SuperbLizard's mind about the soul of "Y Tempo" deck. Windstorm Chargers out, Windstorm Colossi in ("Y Tempo" out, "Y Events" in?).
- BY Double Colossus by Donpork (by Luuu90)
More Colossi! Rare arch-type with a synergy of Gabrian Commander and Colossi of 2 different colors. An excellent place for "improved" Mystic Beast as well. Donpork borrowed this deck from Luuu90 .. as well as the "2nd place curse".
- Y Control Sac by Kodlaci
Who said Khalims Followers have to be played offensively? A Novel arch-type on a competitive scene! A set of cards from Y rush, Y mid-range and Y control decks, against which opponents had been struggling to find a good counter.
Match
Donpork had to dig deep after he lost 2 consecutive games to Kodlaci's "Y Control Sac" in the semi-finals. Donpork considered 11! different decks for countering the "uncounterable" Kadlaci's deck and chose "BY Double Colossus" one, which proved to be the perfect pick letting him have an unbelievable 3:0 comeback and a ticket to the finals!
