The fifty-six best players in the world entered, and now there are eight! Come see what these masters of Goat Format had to say before the final day of the event! 

One of the last strategies anyone would have thought to have a showing at Worlds was Lockdown Burn, but here we are! Peter Tran had enough confidence in the deck to play it in the year's largest tournament. Let's see what he has to say for himself!

Despite being known for all things Panda, Claire Cohen-Kowan decided to mix things up with a crazy Last Turn brew! It's clear that she wanted to catch everyone (including her opponents) off guard. I think it's safe to say that she definitely achieved this goal! 

Sticking with ol' reliable, Mattia Arcangeloni decided to enter the World Championships with the same deck he qualified with: the frighteningly powerful Stein Gate! 

Though he qualified with Chaos Turbo, Phillip Harald had different plans when deciding what to play at this year's World Championship event. Rather than stick with the tried and true, he's got some undead spice to hopefully take him to victory!

It all comes down to this. Fifty-six players earned the right to be here, dueling with everything they have in order to win the chance to be called the best in the world. Though there are too many for us to interview everyone, below you'll find a select few who were gracious enough to give thoughts and insights before the start of today's prestigious event!
