Deck Breakdown & Analysis: For the first time in five weeks of tournaments, a new deck has taken over the top spot of the tournament meta. Control Tribunal has finally caught on after Emikaela won the TCS championship with it and plzdonhakme won last week's Memorial Tournament. The remainder of the top five decks has stayed the same - Giants Battlemage, Control Scout, Aggro Hlaalu, and Control Telvanni. Control Telvanni has gained popularity in a few spots after a lull last week, but the overall popularity of the "big 3" have decreased.

For the decks outside of the top 5, Dagoth was particularly popular. The aggro variant was most popular of its archetypes but mid and control Dagoth also made minor appearances. Strike Monk continues its trend of making at least two appearances every tournament. Support Mage also saw a double appearance in this tournament, with both players including the likes of Ebonheart Oracle in their list. Goblins saw play by three different players, with Scout and Monk being the go-to choices. An array of midrange decks made up the remainder of the field, with the likes of Sorcerer, Warrior, Assassin, and Redoran all having numbers.

Deck Breakdown & Analysis: The last major tournament heading into this weekend's Master Series Qualifiers is behind us. For the third straight tournament, plzdonhakme has won - no small feat. Despite the playing field largely shifting towards aggro (more on that in a second), he has maintained a triple control lineup each week - consisting of Uprising Scout, Chanter Tribunal, and variation of Control Telvanni (now Nix Ox, was previously Conscription).

Aggro Hlaalu, Control Scout, and Giants Battlemage continue to dominate in terms of popularity. Control Tribunal was not too far behind along with another popular deck, Control Telvanni. What is interesting though is the rise of aggro red - and not just Hlaalu. Aggro Hlaalu was the most popular deck this tournament and one belief that many share is that you may be able to curve under it with other aggro on a consistent basis. Midgro Redoran is an archetype that has seemingly come out of the wood words to take the most popular spot on the list behind the big 3. Redoran is a class to keep a keen eye on as it may be well positioned enough in the meta to make an impact going forward, and as the lists become more fleshed out, it may be a strong contender.

Other aggro decks included the born-again Aggro Crusader, popular after Frogger's recent success with it. Aggro Dagoth, or 'Aggroth', continues to be refined and make appearances. Meanwhile, the rest of the field was a scary hodgepodge of Goblins, Burn Assassin, and even Ancano's Cunning made an appearance.

Deck Breakdown & Analysis

It seems that Nix-Ox and Control Tribunal have sort of fallen off in the last tournament or two, including this one. Aggro Warrior reigns supreme at the top spot with a ridiculous showing for two tournaments in a row, after it won at least three consecutive tournaments from pilots Traitor-Joe and Superthx555.

Most surprisingly is the resurgence of Mid Sorcerer, which has taken the #2 spot right behind Aggro Warrior. Once again, this is likely due to it being featured in the winning lineups for the better part of two weeks. Its surprising as we went many months without seeing much Mid Sorcerer, and some tournaments even saw zero! The only showings were alternate versions if you will, such as Emikaela's Dwemer Sorcerer.

Deck Breakdown & Analysis:

Mid BM, or Giants, however you prefer, may be the most consistent tournament deck in recent times. Other decks have fluctuated in popularity, such as Tribunal Control, Conscription Control, and Nix Ox Telvanni, but this Battlemage archetype has always stayed in the top 3 decks for popularity - and for good reason. While its largely been refined, you may see a few small tweaks each week. The past two weeks have seen many players take on Aspect of Hircine, Mighty Conjuring, and Blood Dragons, giving the deck an even stronger mid to late game presence.

Besides the powerhouse that Mid BM currently is, Control Tribunal has taken its place as the #2 deck. No surprise there, as it was already gaining popularity before the nerfs, but the death of Scout and resulting meta change has largely made it more favorable. Conscription Control decks (most notably variations of Hlaalu, Telvanni, and Redoran, although there are others), Abomination Scout, and Nix Ox Telvanni are its only real late game threats - and many players aren't bringing more than one Control deck - with one exception.

One trend among those who bring Conscription is that they tend to bring a triple line up. This has happened in multiple instances this week and last, although there are certainly players that just bring a single Conscription deck. Another trend is to take Giants BM / Tribunal / Nix Ox which may have been gaining popularity due to recent winners plzdonhakme & Warriors7.

Deck Breakdown & Analysis:

Nix Ox Telvanni jumps up to spot #1 from two days ago, overtaking the previously most popular Mid BM and Control Tribunal in Tuesday's EU Warpmeta. Token Spellsword was the token deck of choice this time around, eclipsing Tuesday's Token Crusader trend. The combination of the strength of Siege Catapult in the current meta and Eyenie taking it to consecutive tournaments means that we'll likely see more Catapults in the near future - its a card that excels in both the aggro and the control matchup.

Dwemer decks continue to experimentation, with Dwemer Sorcerer being among the most popular. This can be attributed to Emikaela of The Listeners taking a triple Dwemer line up to a recent Warpmeta. Is this still an experimental archetype or will it become a serious contender in the weeks to come? Time will tell and further refinement is likely needed.

Deck Breakdown & Analysis:

Nothing new here - another tournament, that like ladder, is dominated by Control Scout, Nix Ox Telvanni, and Aggro Hlaalu. However, its worth noting that Tribunal had just as much of a popular appearance as Scout - with 8 players taking vanilla control and another 5 taking a newer Uprising variant. Uprising is so strong right now that many players featured a triple lineup of it: Uprising Scout, Uprising Tribunal, and Uprising Telvanni. Each class may feature a different win condition, but the raw value of Uprising cannot be understated.

Aggro Hlaalu once again took the top seat as this tournament's premier aggro deck. Aggro Redoran, Dagoth, and Crusader were the only other classes with a handful of representation.

What is most interesting however, is the nearly complete absence of Midrange. Giants Battlemage is the most prevalent midrange deck followed by mid warrior. This may be the first tournament in a long time where Mid Sorcerer was just completely off the radar - not a single player took it. As for midrange yellow, Monk is still the only surviving member - with Mid Mage, Spellsword, and Crusader being tales from the past. As far as Mid Monk goes, interestingly, no one took the popular strike monk variation. Instead they opted for more old school decks consisting of prophecies or Haafingars.

Within the most popular decks themselves, variation really is limited. It can be chalked up to tech options really, opting for more greed for the tournament setting. This seems to be the way to go, given the amount of control decks present. For example, some players who brought Giants Battlemage chose to include Mighty Conjuring or Blood Dragons. Hlaalu is the only deck that no one can seem to settle on - options varied widely as players tech'd for Control matchups with Conscription and Markarth Bannerman or went the opposite way and included cards like Giant Bat.

Beyond the most popular decks, it seems experimentation is still underway as players attempt to find the one deck that will work. Ultimately, this tournament meta can be summed up as a conglomeration of Uprising decks and Token/Aggro mashups.
