Welcome back to the StarCityGames.com 2017 Season Two Invitational countdown blog!
Yesterday, I did a brief overview of what to expect at the Season Two Invitational, but today is when I’ll really start diving into things. With the move to Roanoke, our Invitationals are now massive events with a lot going on. From awesome special guests and super-sweet side events to the chance to having your likeness immortalized on a custom-made token and playmat, the Season Two Invitational really is whatever you want to make of it. But in order to make the Season Two Invitational a special event for yourself, you need to become more familiar with what your options are!

Standard and Modern are the main event formats at the Season Two Invitational, so bring your most powerful deck from each format and prepare for battle!
