Our Champion is Chris Osinski, a Goblins player from Minnesota who audibled from the Draft Open to the Legacy Open at the last-minute, running the tables after a Round 1 loss. It was a tribal battle, with Corbin Hosler’s undefeated Merfolk list falling prey to Goblin Piledriver in three games. The story of the day was that Legacy is healthy, and even ripe for innovation.
