Apparently you can't keep a good deck down. Lukas Blohon took Esper Dragons - a powerful and popular deck from before the release of Battle for Zendikar - all the way to the trophy at Grand Prix Brussels. While Esper has not been absent from the Standard metagame, Blohon's deck signaled a return of Dragonlord Ojutai to the top tables.
Blohon's final obstacle in the Top 8 was Simon Nielsen with a powerful Four-Color Rally deck - one of three such decks that made it to the elimination rounds. On this day, however, the power of Nantuko Husk was no match for a duo of Dragonlords.
