Back to the Coverage Overview

It was only the third Limited main event ever at the MKM Series, but the player numbers were growing constantly. This one featured 54 players in total, an increase of 38%, and many notable players like Arne Huschenbeth, Philipp Krieger, Gunnar Geißler, Heiko Lehnert, and Jamin Kauf.

In the end, it was Latvia's Gints Dreimanis who walked away with the title and trophy. He had drafted a green-blue deck that included not only Traxos, Scourge of Kroog, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Steel Leaf Champion, and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar for bombs, but also a pair of Llanowar Elves to speed things up. When asked whether he ever managed to cast Steel Leaf Champion on turn two, Dreimanis smiled and said, “I didn't need that.”

Congratulations to Gints Dreimanis, Limited Champion of MKMS Hamburg 2018!
