Sesongens femte Open ble spilt søndag 25. februar. Her finner du metagamet, resultatene og decklistene fra sluttspillet.
Metagame
41 spillere møtte opp på Escape med til sammen 28 ulike erketyper. Wizards gjorde nylig Jace, the Mind Sculptor og Bloodbraid Elf Modern-lovlig, til stor glede for Control- og Midrange-spillere. Denne entusiasmen gjenspeiles i deckvalgene for turneringen, hvor to av de mest spilte erketypene var Grixis Control og Jund med henholdsvis fire og tre kopier hver. I tillegg var det tre grønne Tron-decker, men utover den grønne basen var de nokså ulike ved at de spilte kun grønn, splashet rød eller splashet svart. Totaltsett var det som alltid god spredning i både erketyper og strategier.

Topp åtte
Topp åtte bestod av åtte ulike erketyper: fire aggressive decker ved B/W Eldrazi Taxes, Eldazi Taxes, Naya Burn og Naya Zoo, tre kontroll-decker ved Grixis Control, Mono-Green Tron og R/G Tron samt en kombo-decker ved Titan Amulet.
Finalen stod mellom Michael Norderhaug Getz på Eldarzi Taxes og Andreas Nordahl på Grixis Control. Andreas er som regjerende mester allerede invitert så invitasjonen gikk automatisk til Michael, men det hindret de ikke fra å spille en tøff finalekamp. Med Jace, the Mind Sculptor på sin side gikk Andreas seirende ut. Vi gratulerer!
