FEATURE MATCH
Finals: Michael Tabler vs. Lauren Nolen

Lauren Nolen has battled High Tide before—in a Legacy Open finals, and to disastrous results. He and Michael agreed to a split that would send the Open points to Lauren, but could he lock up the legitimate win as well?

Semifinals: Lauren Nolen vs. Joe Bernal

These two players were known for their Esper Stoneblade skills in Legacy, each having piloted the deck a number of times on the Open Series circuit. Joe himself noted that game 1 was often relatively basic, but that the sideboarded games required a great deal of nuance and careful navigation.

Quarterfinals: Rob Vaca vs. Joe Bernal

“We wrote these down in front of each other ten hours ago,” Rob said with a laugh as these two friends shuffled up. Their decks couldn’t be more different, however—Rob was busy going undefeated with Enter the Infinite, while Joe was grinding Esper Stoneblade.

QUICK QUESTIONS
Quick Question: With Show and Tell on the rise, how should Legacy Open players metagame to beat it?

Show and Tell has surged back from the shadows into the spotlights of the Open Series circuit.

Quick Question: What would you recommend for PTQ Dragon’s Maze players in Modern?

The Modern format remains in flux following the bannings and introduction of Gatecrash.

Quick Question: What do you like the most about Gatecrash Limited?

Now that everyone has a had a few weeks to digest the new Limited format, where do they stand?

FEATURE MATCH
Finals: Andy Ferguson vs. Eric Rill

“Centaur Healer, excellent,” Andy noted with a smile as he looked over Eric’s list. He’d been hoping to play against Esper in the finals after dispatching it in the semis, but Eric had thwarted those plans and presented him with Naya opposition. Could he fight through a pile of creatures and lifegain?

Semifinals: Eric Rill vs. Jack Fogle

“Pretty good deck,” Jack said as he looked over Eric’s list. “Hasn’t lost yet,” Eric noted, as he was the lone undefeated player remaining in the event.  Jack would be looking to derail that train this round, using an Esper list built to grind out a very long game.

Quarterfinals: Eric Rill vs. Ambrocio Mireles

Naya vs. Jund—a battle fought across the top tables today, and once more under the Top 8 lights. Ambrocio had the play and would be the aggressor, but Eric hadn’t gotten here by folding to early pressure. The matchup seemed to favor his build.

QUICK QUESTIONS
Quick Question: It’s been two weeks—have any Gatecrash cards surprised you?

First impressions are tough to shake, but Magic sets take time to fully understand. With a Pro Tour and three Standard Opens under our belts, what are the big winners and losers?

Quick Question: Who are you rooting for at Pro Tour Gatecrash?

The Pro Tour is well underway, with a few horses still vying for their Top 8 slots. Who are the #SCGCIN players cheering on?

Quick Question: What convinced you to settle on your Standard deck?

Standard's a diverse format. How do you whittle all the options down to just one decklist?

DECK TECH
Deck Tech: B/W Zombies with Andy Ferguson

Andy's Zombies have migrated from Rakdos to Orzhov, allying themselves with Obzedat and all he has to offer!

Deck Tech: Junk Reanimator with Caleb Durward

Caleb Durward decided the best way to attack a new format was with an old deck.
