After eight rounds of Standard on MTG Arena, Pro Tour Dominaria champion Wyatt Darby won Week 2 of Fandom Legends’ $4k MTG Arena tournament series, defeating Mythic Championship I Cleveland champion Autumn Burchett in the finals.
Darby was one of two players to bring Mono-Red Aggro to the tournament, the same archetype he piloted to victory at PT Dominaria a year ago. He went 4-1 in the Swiss rounds and advanced past streamers Allison “Skybilz” Maino in the quarterfinals and Kenji “Nummy” Egashira in the semifinals. In the finals, he soundly defeated Burchett’s Mono-Blue Tempo deck…which was also the same archetype that Burchett won Mythic Championship I with.
