The fourth qualifier for the first SolForge World Championship took place on November 8, 2014. The field of 46 players battled through a six round Swiss before a cut to the Top 16.

The ForgeWatch crew organized and provided live coverage:
Swiss Bracket | T16 Bracket  | Coverage VoD

The Standard constructed format was used for this tournament and Set 3.1’s Rage of Kadras featured prominently as a deck that could handle the previously format-dominating Dysian Broodqueen.

The Top 16 featured eight familiar Tempys burn lists, six Nekrium-Uterra Broodqueen variants, and two unique lists: UT Dozer (Poke the Bear) and AT Rage Bots.

The finals match was Captain78 on NU Broodqueen Tracker vs. an AT Rage Bots brew piloted by Turkis. Giving Turkis his only two losses on the day, Captain78 claimed the fourth of eight spots in the first SolForge World Championship. Congratulations, Captain78!

The decklists for the Top 16 are listed by finish below.
