Filippo Dello Iacovo made the RC Top 8 with Devoted Druid Combo. "I felt like preying on Broodscale Combo, and I enjoy playing green creature combo decks. Leyline of Abundance allows for explosiveness, turns every dork into a must-kill, and is a payoff, too."

Finally, Nils Gutiérrez von Porat reached his third Regional Championship Top 8 with Jeskai Chant! "Very good matchup against Broodscale."

Sebastian Sachse is a longtime Broodscale devotee, with a Top 8 at Magic Spotlight: Modern, 9th at RC Antwerp '25, and 56th at Pro Tour Edge of Eternities. Now he adds an RC Top 8 to the list! “I am here to show that Broodscale can be played without Ugin's Labyrinth.”

After a Top 8 at Magic Spotlight: The Avatar earlier this year, Timothée Blondiaux is now in an RC Top 8, playing Broodscale! “It can be fast and it can also be super resilient; powerful on many different axes. Eldrazi Temple is the best card: it lets me cast 6-drops on turn 3.”

Cristobal Abril Navarro made the Top 8 with Boros Energy! "Ragavan is the best card because if the opponent does not respond, the game is over."

After going 9-1 in Modern at Pro Tour Marvel Super Heroes in July, Alexander Rosdahl has backed it up with a Top 8 at RC Ghent, this time on Broodscale Combo! "It was the best performing and most played the last few events; can't ignore that!"

Anthony Pav starts Day 2 of RC Ghent at a perfect 8-0 with Living End! "Lack of a better idea," he said of his deck choice. The father of a young child played it a lot two years ago, felt comfortable with the sideboarding, and now has his sights set on a Pro Tour invite.

Charles Eliatamby 🇬🇧 is 8-0 overnight with the Broodscale Combo build cooked up by team Worldly Counsel's testing house: • Delighted Halfling for more keepable opening hands • Main deck Shadowspear to boost Urza's Saga • Karn, the Great Creator in the sideboard for the mirror

Wojciech Kowalczuk 🇵🇱 is 8-0 at the RC in Europe! The Yawgmoth master had helped Jake Bailey prep a Samwise Gamgee deck for PT Marvel Super Heroes, splashing Ajani + Bombardment. In their updated build, that "splash for the Boros Energy combo" won him many games today!

Timothée Blondiaux 🇫🇷 leads the Regional Championship in Europe at 8-0 overnight with Broodscale Combo, a deck he called “the most consistent and most resilient” after it kept winning for him in testing.
