After fifteen rounds of Standard, with a total of 1,101 others eliminated, only eight players remained in the running for the fame and the fortune, the title and the trophy. To everyone's surprise, their decks included a scant eight copies of Goblin Chainwhirlers. Instead, the most represented archetype was Esper Control. Indeed, the three most accomplished players in this Top 8 all chose to run three Teferi, Hero of Dominaria and four each of Torrential Gearhulk and Vraska's Contempt.
