Is ANT the best combo deck to play at GP Madrid?
With the upcoming eternal event of the year, Legacy Grand Prix Madrid, many players are seeking the best deck to play at it. In the following article I’d like to analyze some possibilities for those of you who like to play combo decks.
First of all, we must understand what kind of tournament a Grand Prix is. A GP isn’t at all like any other eternal tournaments. Ok, there’s some big events around the world that gather from 100 to 400 players. That’s big, but nothing compared to what predictions for GP Madrid attendance. Spain is, with no doubts, the country that has the biggest tradition on eternal formats, both Legacy and Vintage. Spain hosts the biggest weekly/monthly leagues, so we can expect GP Madrid to be a tournament with an attendance between 1000 and 2000 players. I believe the attendance will actually be closer to 2K than 1K.
So, we better forget of playing 5, 6 or 7 rounds + top8, and start thinking of a 2 day event with a total of 15-16 rounds followed by a top8.
Knowing this, my question is very clear. Is ANT the best combo deck to play?
