MTG Standard meta at Pro Tour Minneapolis healthy mix of old decks and new cards

A healthy mix of Magic: The Gathering Standard Constructed decks were submitted for the second Pro Tour of the 2022-2023 season beginning on May 5, from Aggro to Control. 

The Standard meta within MTG competitive play has reached a healthy spot leading up to fall rotation. Many tried-and-true builds like Rakdos Midrange, Grixis Midrange, and Esper Legends still rank as the best three decks within the format. New cards from MOM and ONE have improved the existing top MTG decks while also supporting less popular Traditional builds like Five-Color Ramp, Mono-White Midrange, Mono-Red Aggro, and a host of reanimator decks. 

Over 200 MTG players from around the globe are competing at Pro Tour Minneapolis , which features MOM Draft and Standard Constructed gameplay. Of those 200-plus players, the most popular submitted deck was Rakdos MIdrange, according to WotC . 

• Rakdos Midrange : 47 players and 18.7 percent of field
• Grixis Midrange : 39 players and 15.5 percent of field
• Esper Legends : 30 players and 11.9 percent of field
• Rakdos Reanimator : 23 players and 9.1 percent of field
• Grixis Reanimator : 18 players and 7.1 percent of field
• Domain Control : 12 players and 4.8 percent of field
• Five-Color Ramp : Nine players and 3.6 percent of field
• Mono-White Midrange : Nine players and 3.6 percent of field
• Jeskai Control: Seven players and 2.8 percent of field
• Rakdos Breach : Seven players and 2.8 percent of field

Roughly half the field at MTG Pro Tour Minneapolis brought decks that have a solid record of performance within a competitive Standard best-of-three format. And no one build is dominating the field over the others. The other half of the players at the second Magic Pro Tour of the season chose to bring decks like Domain Control, Rakdos Breach, Five-Color Ramp, and even Soldiers. 

• Azorius Soldiers : Three players
• Grixis Incubate : Three players
• Mono-Blue Tempo : Three players
• Four-Color Legends : Two players
• Orzhov Toxic: One player
• Orzhov Phyrexians : One player
• Mono-Black Midrange : One player

Many Pro players likely chose decks they were comfortable playing and have tested at various organized play tournaments prior to the Pro Tour at Minneapolis. But that doesn’t mean the lesser-played decks are bad. Azorius Soldiers has beaten out Control and Midrange builds before and is solid against other Aggro decks. In addition, Orzhov Phyrexians is a new Standard deck following the release of MOM and has proven powerful on the MTG Arena Ranked ladder along with Mono-Black Midrange and Grixis Incubate. 

Fans can watch the action unfold at MTG Pro Tour Minneapolis from May 5 to 7. Six rounds will feature MOM Draft while the remaining Swiss rounds and playoff rounds will showcase Traditional Standard Constructed.

2024 Zurich Classic purse: Payout info, winner’s share 

Luke List and Henrik Norlander are in the hunt at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

Getty Images

The Zurich Classic occupies a unique spot on the PGA Tour schedule. It’s the only team event of the year, and that means there are a couple of specifics that make it different to individual medal play.

While the winning team is still entitled to PGA Tour exemptions and FedEx points, there are no world-ranking point s awarded at this tournament. Prize money is also slightly more complicated, with the winning team sharing the money generally earmarked for first and second place, the second-place team splitting the money for third and fourth place, and so on.

This week, there’s an $8.9 million purse up for grabs, with $1.268 million going to each player on the winning team. The drop-off to second is pretty steep, with $525,100 for each player on the runner-up team. (Compare that to last week’s Signature Event purse in Hilton Head , where every player in the top 10 make $541,000 or more.)

To clear six figures in New Orleans this week, players will have to finish in the top 11.

Below, you can check out the complete payout breakdown for this week’s Zurich Classic played at TPC Louisiana.

Pro Tour Thunder Junction Viewers Guide

"Varmints."

Officially word number twelve on my all-time "not likely to fit into a Pro Tour preview article" list. Hold still "periwinkle," "vellicate," and both "English" and "winner"—your time will come. Meanwhile, oh, yes, there're varmints out here on Thunder Junction, and they have nothing to do with VAR (soccer) nor, in fact, mints (small breath-freshening consumables). So, saddle up partner, because yeehaw , the Pro Tour is here!

Boy that felt good to get that out of my system. This Pro Tour Thunder Junction preview can proceed with no further references to Magic 's very own Western plane.

What Is the Pro Tour and Who Is Playing?

The Pro Tour is the culmination of many paths—all competitive—to one of Magic 's most prestigious tournaments, with $500,000 in prize money (plus a trophy) up for grabs with invitations and points to qualify for the annual Magic World Championship.

Over 200 competitors—from Regional Championship events, 2023 season performances, top finishers at previous Pro Tours, MTG Arena , Magic Online Premier Play, and more—have invitations to play in Pro Tour Thunder Junction. The invitation list is available online (and subject to change).

What's Really at Stake?

With the opening-season salvo of MagicCon: Chicago's Pro Tour Murders at Karlov Manor in the rearview mirror and both MagicCon: Amsterdam ( Pro Tour Modern Horizons 3 ) and Magic World Championship 30 at MagicCon: Las Vegas ahead, it's time for our Pro Tour regulars and newcomers to do their thing on the doorstep of Wizards of the Coast. Players have visited Seattle, the stunning Pacific Northwest standout, to compete in Magic since the 1995 World Championship—nearly 30 years later, it remains an iconic location as "the home" of the game.

The formats and tournament structures have changed over the years, but the current model delivers drama, surprises, and a rigorously fair examination of skill. It begins with Draft, starring the lead actor in all this with the newest release: Outlaws of Thunder Junction . Players grouped randomly into tables (or pods) of eight will draft three Play Boosters before facing opponents exclusively from their own pods over three rounds. Lose the first two rounds, and you'll find yourself playing the other unfortunate soul with a 0-2 record. Beat your first two opponents, and you'll get to "play for the pod" against the other undefeated player.

That pattern of playing against opponents with the same match record as you holds true throughout the tournament. With just over 210 players expected at the starting line in Seattle, Friday morning's Draft action will see approximately twenty-eight 3-0 records.

Attention then turns to our Constructed format for the weekend: Standard. It's no secret that Wizards of the Coast puts a lot of time and effort into making Standard a destination format that has broad appeal and awesome in-store events .

The Pro Tour is an important stop on that journey because Standard is the format for five full rounds of action on Friday (Rounds 4–8), five more on Saturday (Rounds 12–16), and the whole of the Top 8 playoff Sunday. Want to win the whole thing? Better know Standard inside and out.

Between those two blocks of Standard action comes draft number two on Saturday morning. To take part in that, players need at least a 4-4 record on Friday. With everyone in the first pod likely to have either 0 or 1 loss coming into Saturday, that puts all of them in great shape to make a run for the Top 8, which is just what it sounds like: only the Top 8 at the end of Round 16 on Saturday get to come back for Day Three action.

Twelve match wins (36 match points) is the magic Magic number in Pro Tour play; reach that threshold before the final round, and you're guaranteed a Top 8 spot. Eleven wins will be enough for some players to get over the line, but it's twelve that has the cast-iron guarantee attached to it.

For the Top 8, you still play the exact same deck that you played on Friday and Saturday, but now it's a single-elimination bracket. Matches are best three out of five, and sideboarding begins after game two. By Sunday evening, we'll have another Pro Tour Champion to add to the record books.

I'm always excited to see who emerges, and the game always gives us great stories. But this, the second Pro Tour of the season, has a bunch of incredible storylines that I can't wait to see play out:

• Outlaws of Thunder Junction —I love that Magic constantly reinvents itself. Do I wish we'd had 30 years of train heists and sunset posse showdowns? I do not. But the resonant set is going to see fantastic Friday and Saturday mornings. (I wonder if anywhere in Seattle sells Stetsons?)
• Team Handshake—Last season there was Team Handshake, and there was "everybody else." Team Handshake was broadly untouchable. Pro Tour Murders at Karlov Manor told us a different story.
• Team CFB (ChannelFireball Ultimate Guard)—Because I promised, I can't say "there's a new sheriff in town." Maybe I can get away with "there's an old sheriff in town"? That's probably closer to the truth, anyway. CFB came roaring back to prominence in Chicago, and there's no reason to suppose that was a freak result. Expect much more from the Big Two teams.
• Seth Manfield—Leading the CFB charge was Chicago Champion Seth Manfield. A former World Champion, his victory was all the sweeter as he acknowledged that he wasn't sure if the winner's circle had passed him by. Being a great player, being part of a great team, and putting the work in sure can pay off.
• Dominating Standard—But the way CFB did that in Chicago was to have the breakout deck in Pioneer. Can they find the winning combination in Standard? And can they do so while Team Handshake and the rest do not find the answer? That's a tough gig.
• Simon Nielsen—And this is the big one. In a game built on records, Simon delivers consistency that might never be matched. Nielsen has reached Top 8 in the last four major events. Four Top 8s is a good yardstick for a Hall of Fame career. Nielsen's accrued that in twelve months. Can he possibly extend this ludicrous run to a fifth Sunday appearance?

Let's make sure you find out.
