It’s time for the fifth Masters Tour of 2022 – the event will be played over this weekend (August 12-14). More than 400 players will fight for their share of $250,000 prize pool. It’s one of those “right after expansion” events, with Murder at Castle Nathria releasing last week. Those events are usually interesting and have a great impact on the shape of the meta – participating players tend to hide their discoveries, but once they’re in the open, thousands of people will test them on the ladder and – who knows – some of them might be a new Tier 1 deck. Others will, of course, take it safe and bring already established strong archetypes, but even there small build differences can matter a lot.
YouTube drops will also be active. Watch the tournament on any of the official streams for two hours to get a single Voyage to the Sunken City pack, watch for two more (four in total) for a second pack.
