This weekend, the MKM Series stopped for a fourth and final time in 2015 and it did so in the beautiful Spanish capital Madrid. It's the last time in 2015 where we'll be handing out plenty of cash prizes that can be won in not one but four different main events that are spread out over three days of exciting Magic action!
The Standard event marked a great opening for the weekend and we were able to attract 114 players – more than double the size of the Standard tournament in Prague. The top three decks stayed the same, but there was a shift in the form of Atarka Red losing the lead and dropping to third place in terms of most popular decks. Abzan claimed the throne this weekend, with Jeskai Black ending up on second place.
Eliott Boussaud, who had already won a Grand Prix earlier this year, continued his little win streak and claimed the title of Standard Champion in the Spanish capital. He had already dominated the touranment during the Swiss rounds, entering the Top 8 in first place after 8 rounds of competition.
As always, you can find our official gallery on facebook. We have updated this page with a complete metagame breakdown as well as the top 8 decks and profiles.
One of the coolest aspects of the MKM Series is the fact that it truly pays out to make the trip to each and every stop of the tournament series. The most successful players are collecting points for the SuperFinals that will be held at the second stop of the MKM...

We finally see a deck claiming more than one fourth of the field with Abzan being represented a whopping 32 times among the 114 players that made up the Standard Event of the last MKM Series of the year.
If you add the 19 copies of Jeskai Black, you are almost looking at 50% of the field. This in turn gave players an edge that main decked hate against these two archetypes, which might also be the reason why the Top 8 are a lot more divided than the overall field. Again, we can see that it can pay out to come with one of the so-called underdog decks as long as you have a game plan against the most popular archetypes.
