April Deck Contest – Results and Decklists

18/04/2020 by Ivko Stanilov

Fellow Spellweavers,

For those of you who missed it, we recently held a deck creativity contest, won by LucyV.

We were initially going to only post the top 3 decks, but after seeing them we can’t help but publish all. Well, except that of Dobrycy, which was clearly sent as a joke.

Some of the decks might not be competitive material, but nevertheless you could use those as deck ideas or just play them for fun.

Thanks for all players who submitted decks, and let’s all enjoy their beautiful creations!
