The international crew Handy worked with was full of heavy-hitters. The strategy leveraged the inherent value of adventure creatures with some clutch inclusions developed in the testing lab. The Gruul Adventures list that Handy and her testing team brought stood out in a sea of the now-banned Omnath decks. When looking back at the tournament, Handy was one of the more memorable players at the 2020 Grand Finals for taking the Omnath, Locus of Creation menace head-on. “That’s something that I wish was different in the Magic community because there are plenty of people I’ve seen who don’t have top finishes but are actually incredible at the game like I’ve played.”ĭespite those worries, Handy dispatched Yukuhiro 2-0 and gained her first top finish in the biggest event of the year so far. “Just being able to have that sort of top finish is the kind of thing that makes people give your opinions more validity and it does not matter if I play well or play poorly in a match,” Handy said. There’s no doubting her knowledge or skill at the game, but there’s a portion of results-oriented fans that won’t care about her credentials without top finishes to her name. Handy is a member of the Rivals League, writer for Star City Games, and Magic caster. Not only would that be her first top Magic Esports finish, but she knew respect was on the line. Sitting at a record of 7-4, a win would put her in the top eight. Before the 12th and final Swiss round of the 2020 Magic: The Gathering Grand Finals, Emma Handy had to win her next match against Ken Yukuhiro.
