PT:EMN's Pro Team Records on Day 2

On a day two filled with Magic's greatest and most well-known pros, Pat's Games, a team sponsored by a Texas shop (which is apparently a beloved institution of its local player community), surprisingly posted the best win% behind solid performances from the 4 of 7 players on that team that made day 2. It's worth noting, though, that as a smaller team the sample size on their win rate is quite small. In addition, unlike the elite pros from the top-tier teams that spent all of Day 2 at the top tables battling each other to secure top 8 spots, the relative unknowns on Pat's games probably faced somewhat softer competition at the mid tables. Still, their achievement is quite impressive.


Yesterday we were asking if F2F had solved the constructed format after they posted a 70% constructed win rate behind a very well-tuned BG Delirium deck. Well the four players from Pat's Games matched that constructed win% in day 2! Three Pat's Games players went 4-1 with their decks. The same caveats from before still apply, but still! UPDATE - Deck info has been posted by WoTC and Pat's Games was on BG Delirium. The live dashboard (link below) has more up-to-date information. Meanwhile Ultra PRO/CFB somewhat redeemed themselves on day 2 after an atrocious showing in the constructed portion of day 1, with a very respectable 3rd-place win% in constructed. However, this may be because many of their roster that were on their team's UB Madness deck already dropped the tournament by day 2, leaving those on the team that had chosen to go in a different direction (such as 3-straight PT Top-8 LSV on Bant Company.)

Not surprising they but a player in top 8, another into top 16, and had multiple teammates in top 32.
