Grand Prix Barcelona has come and gone and Aether Revolt Standard has found its groove. The Top 8 of the event was an even split with four copies of Mardu Ballista and four copies of Four-Color Copycat. This split continued with the Semi-Finals including two copies of each archetype. The finals were also an even split and in three games Petr Soch?rek took the title with the Saheeli Rai - Felidar Guardian combo deck over Matthew Pope's Mardu Ballista. Congratulations Petr Soch?rek - your Grand Prix Barcelona Champion!
