Vintage continues to get a lot of attention at the MKM Series; we welcomed 43 players to the other main event on the first day of the MKM Series in Toulouse.
Regarding the interesting decks in this format, the judges mentioned a Stacker deck that made use of Sword of Fire and Ice. Doing some research on the matter, I found a forum thread that dated back to March 2004 (!) where someone claimed that the Sword is “the nut forever”. Apparently, he was right as it's still playing a role more than a decade later.
Other interesting decks made use of a Ravager in the main deck and we've also seen Porcelain Legionnaire sneaking in to quite a few sideboards, more and more becoming a viable option in certain match-ups. Still, when looking at the numbers in the metagame breakdown, we could tell that many of the trends from the MKM Series #1 – Rome continued this weekend.
Pablo Ambrogio Dominguez made sure that the title would once again go to Spain (after Rodrigo Togores won the same event in Rome already), overcoming his countryman Alfonso Baragias in the finals. It certainly appears like Spain is the country to beat when it comes to Vintage.
Ambrogio Dominguez played MUD and, according to the judges, he put on a great show, never committing to a single mistake over the course of the event. While Baragias tried everything to keep up with his Gush Mentor deck, in the end, it wasn't enough and Ambrogio Dominguez made the trip home with a trophy in his backpack.

Take a look at the most popular decks in our Vintage main event of the MKM Series Toulouse.
While some decks certainly proved more popular than others, we still had a very diverse metagame with 9 decks making up the “Other” category. That means all of the various archetypes that are represented in this category haven't been played by more than four players.
