TOP 4 COVERAGE
Magnus Lantto hovered around the top of the standings all weekend, showing his understanding of multiple formats. While he had a close call in the semifinals, it was in the final match where he demonstrated his prowess for both Vintage and Modern, not dropping a game against finalist Jasper De Jong.
Lantto will be returning to the next few Pro Tours and will be back in Seattle for the 2015 World Championship, but for now, the weekend is all about his win in the Magic Online Championship. Congratulations to Lantto on a stellar performance!

DAY 1 COVERAGE
After seven rounds—including three rounds of Vintage and four rounds of Modern—Jasper De Jong leads the field of sixteen competitors with an undefeated record! He blasted through the Vintage rounds with a brutally efficient Mentor Control deck, and then turned heads with the new Melira & Company deck, a strategy that marries the old combo elements of Melira Pod with the new card advantage trickery found in Collected Company.
With seven more rounds to go tomorrow before a cut to the Top 4, De Jong is in a very strong position to lock his slot on the Sunday stage. Be sure to tune in tomorrow to catch all of the action!
