Gistica said:Again, so many people have been saying this. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT WON THE ECC. It might have a small impact , but seriously, that is Europe, and this is not. I think that everyone thinks they know what is good and what is bad. And they are going to play accordingly. IMO, the ECC is just the ECC, and States are just States.
The ECC may be in Europe, but it's the first official tournament we've seen with ND cards, meaning they are the only up to date results we have. Many players will be looking at the results to try and decide what to play for States. This could mean either using the decks that won or building decks that counter the decks that won. The ECC metagame decides the States metagame.
