Márcio Carvalho (Gruul Aggro) and Jean-Emmanuel Depraz (Izzet Phoenix) entered week two with 0-2 records, bringing decks not yet seen in the MPL Weekly War of the Spark split. Depraz edged out the win while Carvalho dropped to 0-3, showing that Izzet Phoenix is still a Standard deck worth competing with.

Christian Hauck, Shota Yasooka, Mathew Nass, Shahar Shenar, and Luis Salvatother are some of the other players who find themselves in a 0-3 hole after week two of the MPL Weekly.
