A phantom preconstructed event introduced from September 25, 2019[1][2]. It aimed to introduce new players to Magic Online to the Modern format, and replaced an earlier Planeswalker Deck gauntlet.

Dimir Mill

A Blue manaBlack mana deck. There was only one change from the Dimir Mill deck from the previous Gauntlet: a copy of Bontu's Last Reckoning was added to the sideboard in place of one Extirpate.

“  Rather than attack the player, attack their library. The goal is to put their entire library into their graveyard, so they lose when they have to draw a card.  ”

Gruul Titanshift

A Red manaGreen mana deck. It was similar to the Gruul Titanshift deck from the previous Gauntlet, with the biggest change being moving two copies of Tireless Tracker into its main deck.

“  Ramp, ramp, ramp until you can Scapeshift into multiple Valakut, the Molten Pinnacles and Mountains and win with Valakut triggers.  ”

Izzet Storm

A Blue manaRed mana Storm combo deck. It was identical to the previous Gauntlet's Izzet Storm deck, other than a singleton Miscast in the sideboard being replaced by a third Negate.

“  Bide your time until you can cast all the spells and burn your opponent's face off. The goal is to wait until you can cast enough spells to create lots of damage with Grapeshot. Make sure to hold CTRL to respond to your spells as you cast them!  ”

Jeskai Control

A White manaBlue manaRed mana control deck.

“  Control the early game until you can take over the late game with Teferi. Slow your opponent down and take over the game with powerful planeswalkers.  ”

Mono-Red Burn

A monored Burn deck.

“  Fight fire with fire (and essentially everything) to burn your opponent's face off. Play fast creatures and direct damage to win quickly.  ”
Mono-Red Burn

Mono-White Blink

A monowhite deck.

“  Start aggressive with low-cost creatures and then blink them for even more value. Use tricks to keep your creatures alive and benefit from their effects when they enter the battlefield many times.  ”
