MTG Pro Tour MH3 standings – June 30
Day three of the MH3 Pro Tour featured five Bant Nadu decks, so the odds were high of it being at the final match of the day. Dominguez gave it his all with Jeskai Control but fell to Simon Nielsen in the quarterfinals. Nielsen would go on to make the final table with Bant Nadu in a mirror match against Sam Pardee, who was also playing Bant Nadu.
Pardee made the final table by beating Bant Nadu in the quarterfinals against Ye and the semifinals against Eli Kassis. But the mirror match victories for Pardee ended at the final table as Nielsen won the MH3 Pro Tour in Amsterdam. Nielsen’s triumph edged him closer to the Kai Budde Player of the Year award.
