Ross VS. Todd: Sultai Emerge VS. Bant Humans

It’s a battle royale in Standard! Ross Merriam has inevitability on his side with his novel Sultai Emerge deck, while Todd Anderson’s Bant Humans list has a proven pedigree (and Collected Company into Reflector Mage). Who’ll win this showdown ahead of #SCGRICH?
