The top performing decks from WSK are finally up in the Decks-to-beat section. The top4 consisted of a The Deck, a Zack Dolan Control, an UGR Burn and a "4-color black" beatdown. I haven't seen all the lists from Warcon yet, but I can tell you that the finals was between a monoblack deck (played by Erik "Sehl" Larsson) and a monoblue (played by Elof). Amnesia has really shown itself as a powerful card the last few months, in particular with plays like turn 1 Mana Vault, turn 2 holding up two islands for Counterspell, and turn 3 Amnesia. I'm hoping for a tournament report from Elof, but for now we can take a look at a few pics from the tournament (thanks to Kalle, Elof and Freespace for the pics).

| The Fellwar Orb, first price in the tournament. |
 |
| Glenn, aka Gnell, from Varberg is playing monoblue against Axelsson, an awesome player from the South. |
 |
| BSK 2013 winner Henke playing creatureless Tax Edge vs Gnell's monoblue Stasis. A crawling slow match; game one took 50 minutes before Henke scooped in disgust ;) |
 |
| Amnesia hits for 6. Lots of Amnesia-tech during this tournament, maybe influenced by Elof's n00bcon top8 deck and by the fact that they are easier to cast without power now (with Mana Vault legal). |
 |
| Turn 1 Library is responded to by turn 1 Library. |
 |
| Jenny's RG beats playing Elof's monoblue artifacts for the top4. That's a distracting playmat btw. |
 |
| Orb vs Juzam, a fair sight for old school players. Freespace also uses the secret tech of a distracting plamat. |
 |
| Blood Moon vs monoblue artifacts. At least it takes care of the library ;) |
 |
| Aggro-sprites! |
 |
| Munchhausen vs Brorsan. |
 |
| Stasis facing an opposing Feldon's Cane :) |
I'll be posting decklists from Warcon as soon as I get them.
It was my (Gnell - Monoblue Stasis) match with Henkes creatureless Tax Edge that took 50 minutes, then Henke scooped "in disgust". I was told that he wanted to "play Magic, not play against Stasis" ;)
SvaraRaderaHaha, Stasis vs Tax Edge sounds like a pretty harsh matchup :) Thanks for the info, I've updated the text.
RaderaHaha the games vs Glenn and his Stasis took some time. First match, I started and played a first turn Black Vise that did the job. Second match, Glenn managed with total lock down and finished me off with a 13 points Braingeyser. Third match was kind of even but Glenn got the lock working once again, but could't finish me off before the timer rang.
SvaraRaderaAll together a really fun tournament, good people and some good magic 8D
