Jace is strong but fair, and without him blue decks wouldn't be able to win pretty much at all. There are still plenty of viable decks that don't run Jace and have just as good a shot of winning any tournament but good players like playing decks that award playskill instead of no-skill decks like Vampires, so of course Jace is going to show up at the top of a lot of top 8's.
He's really good, fun to play, and he awards playskill, who wouldn't play him if they thought they had the skill to do so.įirst, this is an event supported by Wizards rather than a third party the way an SCG tournament would be. Worlds is the biggest event in the Magic universe. Third, due to the aforementioned, the players playing at a tournament like this are some of the best players in the world.Īdditionally, as many of the players in this tournament are professionals or have some sort of support system, they can play any deck they want unlike many of us who may not always be able to afford the best deck at a given time. Having a quarter of people (who are some of the best in the world) in a tournament pick Survival shows that this is regarded as the best deck above and beyond all else by these players.Er.that's not entirely accurate. Worlds is a four day event, beginning Thursday, and ending Sunday. This side event took place on Thursday.Īny player Q'ed for Worlds was not playiing in this side event. None of the players playing in that tournament were professional. Judging by the names of the T8 players, I'm guessing most of them were local/from Japan. the whole discussion if Survival needs to be banned got ridiculous weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it startet as someone said "Do we need Survival to make up 7 spots in T8 until it get's the hammer?" on a very popular site right after the first SCG's 5k where survival made 4 spots.
A rumor as base for descision-making!? That goes on and on and wildfired into such things like "Survival has 58%+ against TES and 73% against deck X" Then that quote evolved into "Survival made 7 Spots in a T8!" which spread around the net and some guys (we won't name them again) took that to ask Pro's and popular Standard-faces like Nelson or Chapin about their opinion on that, which resulted that Nelson (without knowledge of Legacy) really claimed on TheMagicShow that the 7/8 tournaments shows that action is needed. What does 58% tell you if the data may are from 40 player-tournaments? I have no idea how these numbers were calculated. How many players borrowed a TES to play it without any practice just because it was a good meta choice? TES needs some playskill.
