Søndag 11. oktober ble fjerde runde av årets Open-serie spilt. Formatet var Modern og her er metagamet.
42 spillere møtte opp for å konkurrere i det populære Modern-formatet på Missed Trigger Gaming: Open #4. På profesjonelt nivå snakkes det ofte om at Modern som format lett stagnerer og domineres av noen få sterke kortstokker. Dette var langt fra tilfelle på søndag med i overkant av 20 forskjellige erketyper representert blant de 42 som deltok.
Metagame
Varianter av U/R/x Twin og Jund var mest populært, fulgt av Merfolk. Modern på Østlandet er uten tvil et mangfoldig format der man kan lykkes med både etablerte kortstokker og mer utradisjonelle hjemmebrygg. Dette kommer også frem til topp åtte der vi finner gamle kjenninger som Affinity, Naya Zoo og Burn – og turneringens nykommer Bring me Glittering Gifts.
