2	1	billster47	UB Delver	31	3	UW Familiars	UB Delver	UR Control	Top 8'd the first 3 of these playoffs, is probably the player to beat. Was strong with UB delver until the ban, then jeskai until the ban. Has done well recently with UW Fams in the last couple of challenges. Picks the most broken deck in the format and uses it to their will.
3	2	Hellsau	Fog Tron	30	8	Fog Tron		Fog Tron	The king of Tron. Probably the player to beat of the tournament. Plays nothing else and knows the deck inside and out. If you are on any sort of midrange, expect to lose.
4	3	Entropy263	Inside Out	26	3	UW Familiars	Fog Tron	Fog Tron	One of the main experts in familiars. Also plays a boatload of Tron. Likes flicker loops and won't time out unless they are streaming and get distracted. Favourite to win.
5	4	PauloCabral_Br	Fog Tron	26	7	Fog Tron	Bogles	Bogles	This one is hard, as they had a nice run in September with Inside Out, but has been playing a lot of Tron recently with Bogles, Faeries and Elves (in the PTQ?) also making an appearance. My guess is Tron, but will metagame.
6	5	Modern_Monkey	Fog Tron	24	2	UB Delver	Fog Tron	Fog Tron	Was strong on UB Delver before the Daze Ban, then shifted to Tron and topped numerous challenges. Recently did well with UB Delver again in a challenge, along with UR Fae, so could be any of those 3 decks.
7	6	Raptor56	Inside Out	21	15	UR Control	UW Familiars	Bant Familiars	Likes to brew. Plays a lot of off the cuff deck like defender combo, familiars, snow go. Has found a new lease on life with Mystic Sanctuary and should play that in the deck they choose. Could be combo or control.
8	7	PR0boszcz	WB Pestilence	20	7	WB Pestilence	BR Monarch	BR Monarch	Likes to grind. Plays of a lot of Monarch decks in both RB and WB. Has played stompy on occasion.
9	8	_DissonancE_	Stompy	18	1	Stompy		Stompy	Has had a great year with stompy even championing during the snow era. Should definitely be playing it.
10	9	A_AdeptoTerra	Fog Tron	18	5	Fog Tron	Affinity	Fog Tron	Dabbled with Atogshift, Elves and Inside Out, but has too many postings with Tron for them to be playing anything else but that.
11	10	c_is_for_cookie	Elves	18	18	Elves		Elves	Premier elves pilot. If you see them in the distance, be scared... You will be overrun with little green men.
12	11	lindoso01	Jeskai Snow	18	11	Boros Monarch	Elves	Bogles	Has made monarch their own and has been posting strong finishes in challenges with it every time. Has been known to play elves if they feel the meta calls for it.
13	12	Hampuse1	Fog Tron	17	2	Fog Tron		Fog Tron	Behind Hellsau but only just as the leading force of Tron. Plays nothing else and consistently posts well. Had a bit of a break during the snow era, could have had more posts otherwise.
14	13	janicestone	Jeskai Snow	16	0	UR Control	Boros Bully	Boros Bully	Was known for playing Boros Bully exclusively last year, but since (and during) the snow era, has opted to play UR Control. Their own spicy brew that no one else seems to play. Could be a dark horse.
15	14	kasa	Fog Tron	12	8	Boros Bully	Stompy	Fog Tron	Played Boros religously at the start of the year. They have gotten posts with Tron twice and Stompy and RDW once. Will metagame.
16	15	maian	Jeskai Snow	12	7	Boros Monarch	Boros Bully	Boros Monarch	Came into pauper in August and did very well with Jeskai Snow. After banhammer has stuck with Boros Monarch in various forms and done very well in the last 3 challenges.
17	16	lampalot	WB Pestilence	11	0	WB Pestilence	UB Teachings	Burn	Challenge grinder. Seems to like playing UB teachings, which is strange for a challenge grinder. Has played WB Pest, Boros Monarch, Elves, Jeskai and even burn. Could bring anything.
18	17	frucile	Jeskai Snow	10	4	UB Delver	Slivers	UB Delver	Plays a lot of UB Delver and Slivers. Also played Boros Metalcraft during the snow time. Goes against the grain, as even their jeskai snow list had Gurmag Angler. What ever deck they play will probably have some out of left-field splash.
19	18	Team5c	Affinity	10	0	Affinity	Fog Tron	Affinity	Challenge grinder. Seems to change decks every time they post. Posted with Tron, Heroic, Jeskai, Boros Bully. Will metagame.
20	19	_against_	Boros Bully	9	1	Boros Bully	Affinity	Affinity	Had a decent run with bully this year, did play affinity in the latest challenge and has played U Control for fun, will probably stick to what they know.
21	20	Kazaner3000	Boros Bully	9	2	Boros Bully	Stompy	Fog Tron	Challenge grinder. Has one instance of elves, stompy and jeskai, but every other post has been with Bully. Most consistantly good deck for them, should bring it.
22	21	kirblinxy	Boros Metalcraft	7	2	WB Pestilence	Boros Metalcraft	Bogles	Played WB Pest religously before this qualification. Hasn't posted a deck since 'labe got banned, when was on a run with Boros Metalcraft.
23	22	Pascal3000	Boros Bully	7	0	UB Delver	Fog Tron	Fog Tron	Challenge grinder. Did play UB Delver before this qualification. Hasn't posted since 'labe ban. Did top8 a challenge with Tron at some point. Could play anything.
24	23	Auripower	WB Pestilence	6	6	WB Pestilence	Boros Monarch	WB Pestilence	Has dabbled with Elves and recently got a post with Boros Monarch. Could seem going Boros, but think their heart lies with WB Pest as they have played it a lot over the years.
25	24	Brener	Burn	6	0	Burn		Burn	Challenge grinder. Mostly plays modern. Has only ever played burn in pauper challenges.
26	25	FranMtg	Burn	6	2	Burn	Stompy	Stompy	Played burn exclusively until they top8'd another playoff with stompy. Feel like they will stick with burn. Did also play U Delver in '18, so that could also be an option.
27	26	Gbizzo	Jeskai Snow	6	5	Boros Monarch	Boros Bully	Boros Bully	Only has played monarch, except for this qualification. Expect them to splash Mulldrifter or Okiba-Gang (or both) for value.
28	27	someoldguy	Boros Monarch	6	1	Boros Monarch	Heroic	Jeskai	Played Trinket in '15, played Teachings in '16, then made a comeback this year playing jeskai snow, heroic and Monarch. Played monarch during snow times, am guessing will stick with that.
29	28	MatheusPonciano	Burn	5	4	Burn		Fog Tron	Only has results from October onwards. Loves to Burn
30	29	TheBiologist	Jeskai Snow	5	4	UB Delver	Boros Monarch	UB Delver	Played a lot of Jeskai in 'labe days. Recently got a 5-0 with UB Delver, could be what they are on now? Has also played elves.
31	30	federusher	Elves	4	2	UR Faeries	Elves	Boros Bully	Mostly plays Grixis Delver in Legacy, dabbles in pauper on the side. Did play Inside Out and UR Fae before this qualification. Could bring anything.
32	31	Jadisouzaft	Bogles	4	0	Bogles		Bogles	Only has played bogles this year. Hasn't posted since 'labe ban. Did get a posting in '18 with Temur Tron, which is interesting.
33	32	saidin.raken	UW Familiars	4	8	UW Familiars		UW Familiars	Only plays Fams, and when they do that, you know they play it well. Hard deck to beat with a compentent pilot. One to look out for.
34	33	Backoff	Jeskai Snow	3	20	Boros Monarch	Burn	UR Faeries	Only started in October. Started with burn and looks like has moved onto monarch.
35	34	Cherryxman	UR Faeries	3	1	UR Faeries		UR Faeries	Challenge grinder, plays a lot of formats. Seems to only play UR Faeries in Pauper Challenges.
36	35	pokerswizard	Elves	3	0	Burn	Elves	Bogles	Now here is a challenge grinder. Way too many lists posted for farious formats to even guess what kind of player they are. Had done will in pauper challenges with Burn before this qualification and hasn't been seen in pauper since.
37	36	PonderousCZ	Mono-G Ponza	3	0	Random Combo	Mono-G Ponza	Mono-G Ponza	Only list posts are this, Eggs and R Kiln Fiend. Likes a brew. Have no idea what they will come up with for this.
38	37	VanillaJames	MBC	2	1	MBC	Boros Monarch	MBC	Played Boros Monarch back in '18 quite religously, but has stuck with MBC this year.
39	38	VVolare	Fog Tron	2	3	Fog Tron		Fog Tron	Only has postings from November. Only has played Tron.
40	39	BriganteGoblin	Stompy	1	1	Stompy	Elves	Fog Tron	Has one other posting of Elves in '18. Likes green?
41	40	papabalda	Boros Monarch	1	6	Boros Monarch	Bogles	UR Faeries	Played a lot of U Delver in '14 and a little bit of Bogles in '17. This is the only list post in the past 2 years. Guess is they will stick with what they did well with, since it was recent.
