Peak Legacy Tournament Results | NYC 10/11/26

The second Peak Legacy paper tournament took place at Hex & Co. in Union Sq. in New York City on Oct. 11, 2026. A downpour of rain and New York Comic Con at the Javits Center across town ate into turnout, but nine players wouldn't be denied slinging wizardry.

After four rounds, three players finished 3-1, and the breakers put the SWB with Elves (with Blood Moon in the sideboard) in the top spot to win the two altered Gurmag Angler prize!

At the first Peak Legacy paper meet-up, Grixis Control won, and Death & Taxes in various flavors was the most represented archetype. At this meet-up, Grixis Delver came out to out-tempo the opposition.
