NYSE Open 6 Coverage and Results

This weekend saw nearly 100 players travel far and wide to Long Island (New York, USA) for the return of the famed NYSE (New York Stax Exchange) Open, this year in its sixth iteration. Many, many thanks to tournament organizer Nick Detwiler and his outstanding staff, for once again putting in the tireless legwork and planning that goes in to executing this awesome and memorable marquee event.

You can find our live coverage from NYSE Open VI (6) on game day here. There were 7 rounds of Swiss, followed by a Top 8 playoff, with many familiar faces in attendance.

The Vintage format has been in a period of massive upheaval for the past six months, after the release of War of the Spark, Modern Horizons, and now Magic 2020. Cards such as Karn, the Great Creator, Narset, Parter of Veils, Collector Ouphe, Dreadhorde Arcanist, Force of Vigor, and Mystic Forge have created seismic, format-changing shifts in the landscape. Thanks to the creativity and exploration of the dedicated Magic Online (MTGO) Vintage community, these cards have made an immediate impact on the Vintage format from the moment they were released online, and this is further demonstrated when physical/paper Magic events happen, such as the NYSE Open 6.

Joe Brennan’s BUG (Black-Blue-Green) Control deck ended up winning this event in dramatic fashion, but without a doubt the key story of the weekend was Team Academy’s Karn Forge Workshop deck. Karn, the Great Creator has made a huge impact on Vintage (as well as Legacy and Modern) since its release in May, and there have been various flavors of Workshop (and Eldrazi) decks that have been built around it. But with Magic 2020 came another powerful tactic in the form of Mystic Forge. This has been immediately deployed in a handful of decks and variants on Magic Online, but Team Academy’s secret testing and tuning with the card yielded the breakout deck of the weekend, and one that will undoubtedly raise the profile of Karn and Mystic Forge to public enemy number one (and two).

Team Academy was not the only one to tune and test a potent Mystic Forge deck, as you’ll see in the decklists section below, where we have provided access to EVERY decklist from the event. What is most notable about Team Academy’s version (aside from placing them in 2nd, 6th, 8th, and 9th with the same deck) is how streamlined it is, and how much different the card choices are than the previous versions of Workshop Karn decks we’ve seen prior. The Academy’s version eschews traditional tactics like Sphere of Resistance, Phyrexian Revoker, and Wasteland for a fully combo-centric platform of speed and resiliency, including full playsets of City of Traitors, Sensei’s Divining Tops, and Defense Grids, as well as tools like Serum Powder to further increase the power of the London Mulligan’s effect on finding a brutally fast and efficient start. The deck is capable of turn 1 kills even, and absolutely requires immediate interaction from the opponent in the first couple of turns. JP Kohler went undefeated in the Swiss rounds and entered the Top 8 as the top seed with a very similar version of the deck, and Nick Kent landed in fifth place with a slightly different version as well.

How this deck (and others) change the Vintage metagame over the next couple of months will be key to measuring the health of the format. While there has been much discontent with Vintage among various format specialists for months, this is likely to further exacerbate calls for action from the DCI. It will be interesting to see how players adapt, now that there is a clear number one target as the apex predator of the format. Tournament winner Joe Brennan accurately predicted the field, and tested and tuned his BUG Control deck to combat this Karn Forge menace, and with a bit of luck and tight play, was rewarded handsomely with the best trophy in the world.

Metagame Breakdown

Here is a sortable table that shows all players and associated decks played (you can sort by name, deck type, or prize awarded). As you can see in the sortable table below, Workshops were everywhere, including 12 dedicated Workshop Karn Forge decks (5 of which made the Top 8), 1 slightly older Workshop Karn deck (with Thought-Knot Seer, without Mystic Forge), and 6 Workshop Aggro decks of various flavors (1 of which made Top 8). There were also 2 decks that utilized Workshop, Oath of Druids, and Mystic Forge, all together in a crazy combo amalgamation. All together there were 21 Workshop decks (~22.34% of the field). 13 decks were Jeskai variants (~14.89%, 0 of the Top 16), and were a near-even split of traditional UWR Jeskai and Jeskai Dreadhorde Arcanist variants. 13 decks in the field (~14.89%, including 2 of the Top 8) were BUG and BUGR Control variants (the red splash primarily being for Wrenn and Six, and a couple of other tactics), which often differed quite a bit in composition. 11 decks (~11.7%, and 2 of the Top 16) were Dredge variants, about half of which were Pitch Dredge. The next most played archetype was Paradoxical Outcome at 9 copies (~9.57%, including 3 of the Top 16), with 7 being more traditional UBW or UWR lists, and 2 copies being a crazy UBR variant with 4 Narset and 3 Karn main deck (dubbed herein as “Narset and Karn’s Paradoxical Playhouse”).
