The #AC13 metagame is intriguing, and with Magic Spotlight: Fracture also streaming live, it’s a huge weekend for Standard.
Will Mono-Green Landfall justify its top spot, or will Superior Spider-Man prove the graveyard is the ultimate path to victory?

Returning to WCC, a name that needs no introduction: Frank Karsten! 🏆
His talents know no bounds. A Magic the Gathering Hall of Famer and a frontrunner for the #lorcana Hall of Fame.
With championship wins in Lille, Milwaukee, and Brazil, Frank has cemented his name among Lorcana’s greatest competitors.
Known for his unique deckbuilding style and love for 1-ofs, Frank lets mathematics, statistics, and probability guide his deckbuilding and gameplay decisions.
Through his travels around the world as a competitor, he’s also managed to visit all 12 Disney theme parks, with The Lion King being his favourite Disney movie.🦁
A legend in every aspect of the game, and a key part of WCC as we prepare for Worlds. 💙
