Yes! There have been 45 tournament entries featuring Balustrade Spy without Axebane Guardian in the past three weeks. All are classified as "spy combo" archetype.

Key Highlights:

  • Formats: Both MTGO Challenges and paper tournaments (Paupergeddon, Liga Gaucha, Mont Weekly)
  • Most notable: 27 entries from Paupergeddon - Eternal Weekend 2025 EU (Nov 28) - a major paper event
  • Recent MTGO: Multiple entries in the Dec 4-7 Pauper Challenges

Top Performers:

  • simins - 9-5 at Paupergeddon EU
  • AdamDivis - 8-3-1 at Paupergeddon EU
  • xandy_86 - 5-1-1 at Liga Gaucha de Pauper

This represents a non-Axebane variant of the Spy Combo deck, likely using alternative mana acceleration or combo paths (possibly the Writhing Chrysalis/Ichor Wellspring version instead of the defender-based Walls build).
