While Limited and especially Modern had more massive turnouts, Vintage didn't do too shabby either. 43 players fought through six rounds of Swiss and the following eight earned a spot in the playoffs of the largest Vintage main event at the Cardmarket Series since 2017!

Would you be able to get the other t8 decks as well?
Hey i saw Michiel Valcke deck on mtg top 8 and it had 4 thorns mainboard and they are restricted. What were the other cards from his deck?
We are very happy to have brought back Vintage as a Main Event at the CM Series!
Sadly we can’t provide extensive coverage on all five Main Event formats. So the above information is all we can currently offer you for Vintage. Thank you for your understanding!
Michiel did indeed play with an illegal deck, featuring 4 Thorn of Amethyst. This was only discovered in the final round, after he had qualified for the top 8.
For his quarterfinal match, 3 Thorns were replaced by 3basic plains, as it is stipulated in the tournament rules.
