MOCS 12 Coverage

The Magic: Online Championship Series qualify one player for Worlds and pay out a great amount of online prizes alongside this. The twelfth and final MOCS of the year was held last weekend and featured the Standard format, which will be relevant again this weekend for the Player of the Year tournament. To give you an idea of what to expect in the Player of the Year I broke down all the decks in the top 8 and provided commentary on all of their games. I was lucky enough to be joined by Jarvis Yu (Samwise_Geegee on MODO) for the majority of the commentary and analysis.

This post contains a playlist of all eleven videos we produced. You can also go to posts for individual matches if you would rather just see games and analysis of one particular player's deck. The individual match posts also contain player decklists.

Here is a link to the Wizards coverage of the tournament, which contains the top 8 bracket, final standings, and the top 32 decklists.
