The best streamers and pros in Magic: The Gathering<\/em> brought their War of the Spark <\/em>Standard constructed decks to week one of the MPL Weekly on MTG Arena<\/em>, resulting in some wild and hard-fought matches.
<\/p>
The craziest comeback match of the day took place between Andrea Mengucci (Mono-White Aggro) and Piotr Glogowski (Esper Midrange). Glogowski was down to one life point and it seemed like he was done for in game two\u2014until he thought outside the box and played a Hostage Taker on his own Deputy of Detention.

Glogowski ended up on top for the day (2-0), while Mengucci fought back to wrap up week one at (1-1). These two Magic<\/em> Pro League (MPL) streamers going head-to-head was essentially a rematch from the final table of the MTG <\/em>Mythic Invitational. Mengucci swept Glogowski then, but that wasn’t the case in week one of MPL Weekly.
<\/p>
No specific metagame archetype stood out as being dominant during week one. There were, however, a few other standout matches. Grzegorz Kowalski and his Dimir Control beat down Christian Hauck\u2019s Azorius Aggro deck in the Emerald Division feature match. Ken Yukuhiro and his Bant Midrange took a win as well.
<\/p>
Considering Kowalski was the only MPL player to bring a Dimir Control deck and Yukuhiro brought the lone Bant Midrange deck to week one, the metagame could see major changes heading into week two since players are allowed to change their decks each week.
