The MTG Arena Players Finals are finally over and we have our champion! Talented German plate Kristof Prinz triumphed in the Top 8 bracket with a Four Color Reclamation deck and took home $10,000 in winnings.
This was definitely Prinz’s tournament. Playing from his home in Hannover, Germany, the champ played despite the brutal time difference in wept through Day 1 with a perfect 7-1 score. He utilized his own form of Reclamation sporting Teferi, Time Reveler, and Dovin’s Veto, to get an edge over semi-mirror decks such as Temur Reclamation, and the trick worked.
In the finals, Priz got to play against off-meta (that’s to say off-Reclamation) decks such as Riku Kumagai’s Mino Black Aggro.

2x Brazen Borrower
3x Uro, Titan Of Nature's Wrath
1x Kenrith, The Returned King
3x Teferi, Time Raveler
4x Wilderness Reclamation
