Over 1,300 MTG players registered for the Red Bull second international online qualifier this weekend, with a majority playing archetypes like Bant Ramp, Mono-Green Aggro, Sultai Ramp, and Temur Reclamation. As the field was whittled down to 64 competitors for a single elimination playoff, it was Temur Reclamation that had the highest overall win percentage and WanderingOnes claiming $75,000 and a seat at the MTG Arena Untapped Finals. 

Also playing Temur Reclamation this weekend at the second Red Bull Untapped International Qualifiers was Magic World Champion Javier Dominguez, finishing in second behind Ikawa.
