Welcome to the world of Ixalan/Rivals of Ixalan Limited—the only format where you get to watch Pirates fight with Dinosaurs!

At the very end—after Sealed Deck construction, five rounds of Swiss, a Top 8 Booster Draft, quarter-, and semifinals—however, it all came down to a battle between Vampires and Merfolk. The latter featured two copies each of Merfolk Mistbinder, Silvergill Adept, Watertrap Weaver, Crashing Tide, and, most crucially of all, Hunt the Weak; the deck proved quite a bit stronger than the undead adversaries and gave victory to its expert pilot, Luca Ravagli.

Congratulations to Luca Ravagli, Limited Champion of MKMS Rome!
