Hi everyone,
The results and metagame breakdown from the 3-6-2010 Meandeck Open (http://tinyurl.com/6bnzbey) are now available. Again, we matched the last Meandeck with 22 players in attendance. There were a lot of archetypes represented, 17 Established archetypes and 3 Rogue decks, so please excuse me, as I tried to group them together a little bit better to give a better representation of the metagame that was present.
Three decks really didn't fit any of the descriptions for an Established archetype, so they are labeled as "Rogue." The Top 8 played out the first round, and the Top 4 split once again, each player taking $88 each. Metagame breakdown chart + graph:

Until next time,
