Live Coverage of StarCityGames.com Open Series: Louisville

Chris Kronenberger is your Louisville Legacy Open champion! Chris piloted a unique mono blue list into the Top 8, leaning on Vendilion Clique, Back to Basics, and Jace, the Mind Sculptor backed by a wall of counterspells. Once in the elimination rounds, he knocked out three Team America pilots in a row before hoisting the trophy, riding Back to Basics all the way. In a world with mental Misstep, many players have turned to Hymn to Tourach for attrition-based wins, but Chris showed players that you should watch where you point that sorcery. If it doesn’t hit a Spell Snare, you may find a Misdirection pointing it back the other way.

Meanwhile, following Alex Gonzalez’s Standard Open win with Caw-Blade, the Draft Opens were won by Lee Johnson and Andrew Shrout, deft players of the forty-card format. Thus concludes the last Open Weekend before the Indianapolis Invitational, where StarCityGames.com will be handing out thousands of dollars in prizes as Gavin Verhey and Adrian Sullivan deliver commentary all weekend long!StarCityGames.com Open Series Event Coverage!
