Live Coverage of StarCityGames.com Open Series: Charlotte
The StarCityGames.com Legacy Open in Charlotte has come to a close! The question headed into the weekend was whether the dominance of Survival of the Fittest would continue, or whether the metagame would adjust to take it into consideration and hate it accordingly. Early in the day a poll of some big name players and the head judge of the event revealed few felt the card deserved serious enough attention to merit a banning (a sentiment echoed on Twitter). Then again, the Top 8 became yet another tale of Survival’s dominance.
It was there that Adam Cai and Nick Spagnolo would meet in the Finals, both playing decks reliant on the enchantment. In addition to playing similar decks, both players also can claim the title of being back-to-back StarCityGames.com Open Top 8’ers after Adam managed the feat in Nashville and Nick pulled it off this weekend in Charlotte. All that remained in the event as they sat down to battle were three games to answer the question of whether Nick’s slightly more traditional blue and green version of Survival Madness would be superior to his opponent’s more Zooish green and white version. |
