Community Spotlight: Gladiator was held from August 11 to 15, 2022 on Magic: The Gathering Arena[1][2]. Although it wasn't a preconstructed event, example decklists were provided in a folder that players could craft or modify. There were ten of these, provided by members of the Gladiator community.
Azorius Control
A Control deck designed by SupremePhantom.
Belzenlok Combo
A combo deck which uses Demonlord Belzenlok to draw its entire library, winning the game with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries. The card Bartered Cow can be discarded to hand size at the end of turn, giving you a trigger you can respond to with instant speed reanimation, putting one or more combo pieces directly into play.[3] This Bartered Cow "Tech" gave opponents less chance to disrupt the combo, and the deck the alternative name of Cow-Tech.
The deck was designed by Gladiator Council member Ellesandra Avaidon, under the username JokerBoney.
Boros Control
