PATRICK HOBAN WINS ARGCS CHARLOTTE!

Congratulations to Patrick Hoban, who just won ARGCS Charlotte with his Mermail deck! And congrats to Bodan Temnyk, who came in 2nd place playing Fire Fist.


This event is probably most notable for being the third big event in a row with Fire Fist as the most prevalent deck, while also writing another chapter in the resurgence of Mermails. Not only did Hoban win the entire event with the deck, but the player who came in 1st after Swiss was also playing Mermails. In the end, we had a Finals featuring the iconic Fire vs. Water match with Water as the victor, making this very reminiscent of the March 2013 format pre-Hidden Arsenal 7 lol. Continue reading for highlights of the event collected from ARG's online written coverage.
