Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of the monthly, but this time it's the summer wrap up, it's going to be a long edition since i'm doing both July's and August's big events, so without further ado let's begin.
Well with July we got ourselves only 3 events to speak of before the beginning of the World Magic Cup held in Indianapolis, Indiana this year, with 2 of those events being Magic 2013 sealed booster draft, one being Legacy and the other being Modern, below i will list who won each event and all that.
Magic 2013 Sealed Winners - Reinaldo Da Silva Jr and Bo Li
Legacy - Timo Schunemann
Modern - Jacob Maynard
Congrats all four winners of that month but now it's time to talk about the biggest event of the summer, the World Magic Cup, 3 days of intense action with 71 teams, 5 different formats for the event Magic 2013 Sealed Booster, Magic 2013 Team Sealed, Standard, Modern and of course Innistrad Block Constructed being played over the course of the 3 days, let's take a look at Day 1's overall best 3 teams to start.
Day 1 had a intense spree of action including that of Croatia, the United States and of course the Slovak Republic taking the top 3 spots after 7 rounds of intense competition and Day 2's events pretty much sailed the same way with Croatia leading the charge into the top 8 of the event, claiming that ever prestigious No 1 seed for the final 8 teams, but it would be Chinese Taipei taking the cup on the final day, when it mattered against a very impressive and contreversial Puerto Rico in the finals of the event, but congrats to Chinese Taipei for the win, for the full event coverage see below.
