Magic The Gathering - Malaysia

Melaka Regionals 2010 Competitors

29 players from all directions traveled to historical city, Melaka for a historical first National-Championship-qualifying event in the Southern side of the peninsula, with players from KL, Melaka and even Johor taking part in the event.

Jund decks of different flavors dominated the top 8 taking up half of it, while 2 R/B Aggro/Control, a U/W control and a Polymorph deck took up the remaining half. With the nationals invite given out to the top 4, after the quarterfinals, all the tension was gone, but the top 4 players decided to battle it out anyways, for fame and glory!

While Robb Chew ensured that the players winning the invites would not be entirely dominated by Jund with his U/W Control, Yeap Soon Yong, Brendan Soo and Chye Yian Hsiang however managed to pilot 3 different distinct types of Jund to the top 8. When the dust settled, however, it was Yeap Soon Yong's Vengevine variety that came up on top.
