It’s no huge surprise to see Temur Energy, which took a dominant position at Grand Prix Denver, was also well-represented at the top tables of the RPTQs this weekend. The top tier of the metagame is rounded out with Zombies, Ramunap Red, GB Constrictor, and Mardu Vehicles.
This coming weekend will host another 21 Standard RPTQs. Will Temur Energy remain on top or will the metagame rapidly adapt to last weekend’s results? Check back next week to find out!
