The Sentry™
Card# MTU-017


While his stats aren’t much bigger than those of the average 7-drop, Sentry’s “Pay ATK” power can drastically hinder an opponent’s attacking options in the late game.

The Dark Knights take Munich!


Sentinels gave up its stranglehold on the metagame this weekend. While twenty percent of the $10K players were piloting the robots and a full fifty percent of the Top 8 consisted of the Sentinels deck, they could not take the trophy.
 
Of the 101 players in Munich, only one was playing Marvel Knights Concealed. That one man, Karl-Heinz Bergt, successfully took it all the way to victory in the Top 8, despite resistance from both new decks in Golden Age and the age-old threat of Sentinels. He also achieved the fastest kill not involving an absurd combo in the history of $10K Top 8 play.

Congratulations to Karl-Heinz Bergt, $10K Munich Champion!

While the number of robots in the field was greatly diminished at this event, the 20 percent of the field still became 50 percent of the Top eight and indeed 50 percent of the finals.
Bergt’s very aggressive concealed deck looks to have a fair matchup on paper with the League, so Edoardo will have a bit of a job winning in the Top 8’s best of three.
Edoardo chose to keep his opening four in the crucial third game, while Reinhardt showed his opponent some respect, declaring, “For you, I don’t keep this hand.”
Day 1 of $10K Munich has come to an end, and the field has been whittled down from 101 players to just eight.
See what made the cut in the brand new Golden Age Constructed metagame!
Santin, hailing from Italy, is playing Sentinels, while Cologne native Nguyen is playing Teen Titans.
After a strong showing in Amsterdam from a Marvel Knights Concealed deck, it can’t really be considered rogue, but I would nonetheless wager that it slipped under a lot of testing radars for this weekend.
It wouldn’t be a European $10K without a feature match on Hans Joachim Höh.
In a field that has a whole range of platinum hits from past Golden Age events being represented, it’s nice to see something that’s entirely fresh and new.
In round 4, the trend of non-Sentinels doing well continued. The top tables contained a variety that is representative of the field as a whole—that is to say, diverse.
Going into round 3, the variety at the top tables in $10K Munich was every Feature Match writer’s dream.
The metagame is hardly devoid of robots, but they aren’t dominating the field quite as much as they were in New York. In fact, the field is pretty open . . .
