May 2025 Prague EU Championship - EU Movie

[TelTura]

On 3 May, 2025, 38 players from around the EU met in Prague, Czechia to compete for prizes and the chance to call themselves the European Champion!  Players started at 1100 and played 6 rounds of Swiss with a top 4 elimination cut.  Games had a 60-minute time limit.

The format used was EU Movie, which is the same as Decipher Movie with the following caveats:

• Galadriel, Lady Redeemed is banned
• Corsair Marauder and Goblin Scimitar may not be in the same deck
• The discard pile is public information

The top 8 decks are below.  Apologies to our Czech and Polish friends, but the accents cause the forum software to choke so they have been removed.
