Congratulations to Darren who won the Tinker Bell playmat with a spicy Amethyst/Sapphire or "Blurple" list, running 0 uninkables! A big congrats to our remaining Top 4, Ethan, Ryan and Terrence as well!

The meta on the day was varied, with Amethyst decks dominating the room at 11 players players! Amber/Amethyst leads with its growing in popularity, with card draw/board wipes as it's key mechanics.

Thank you to everyone for making it, with a few players even travelling from out of Auckland! We hope you all had a good time, and see you at our next event!
