Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week wraps up with the Top 2 match between Justin Perdue and Charles Anderson, playing Fader and Solar Fires respectively.

Ready to see an awesome three-game set? Take a peek:

Now for this matchup I don’t think either player sideboarded incorrectly or even played badly. One draw was simply better than the other in two of the three games, and I felt that Fader may have the edge in the matchup no matter what sideboarding or play strategies you attempt. Dimir House Guard is such a swiss-army knife that almost any plan against it will fail as Fader can almost always outlast and outdraw in the long game where other decks cannot.

And there you have it folks, the StarCityGames $1k Open is in the books. Thanks for reading and watching everybody.
