SCG Tour Season Two Announcements!

Multiple sold out main events.

A new take on Team Constructed.

A playmat of a card that was almost immediately banned.

To say Season One of the SCG Tour has been an unpredictable whirlwind would
be the understatement of 2017, but we’ve rolled with the punches and have
had an absolute blast bringing it to you. Seeing the

SCG Indianapolis

and

SCG Baltimore

Opens sell out as quickly as they did was as unforgettable as receiving a
text from Kali Anderson telling me that “our Smuggler’s Copters playmats
might not be so cool anymore” after the powerful vehicle was banned from
Standard. But as we’ve learned over the past few weeks with the banning of
Sensei’s Divining Top and Felidar Guardian, anything can happen when it
comes to Magic and that’s part of the reason I think we all love it.

So without any further ado, I happily present to you, the SCG Tour 2017
Season Two Schedule!

That’s a Lot of Modern!

It certainly is! One thing that we’ve noticed over the years is that
players love Modern! From attendance in Opens and Classics to viewership at
home, people can’t seem to get enough of Magic’s most volatile format. And
we’re happy to bring you more Modern than ever before during Season Two of
the SCG Tour with Modern Opens in

Syracuse

(August 5-6),

Richmond

(August 12-13),

Louisville

(September 16-17),

Charlotte

(October 14-15), and

Cincinnati

(October 21-22).

Another thing we’ve noticed is that players love playing and watching
release weekends of new sets. The excitement of seeing a new set in action
is a feeling that never gets old, as demonstrated most recently with the
release of Amonkhet. As such, our Standard Opens during Season Two
of the SCG Tour will be release weekends for Hour of Devastation (Cincinnati, July 15-16) and Ixalan (Dallas, September 30 -October 1).

Lastly, with your overwhelmingly positive feedback on our unique Team
Constructed format at the SCG Baltimore Open earlier this year, we’ve
brought that format back not once but twice during Season Two of the SCG
Tour. Be sure to mark your calendars and find two of your best friends for
Team Constructed Opens in

Atlanta

(July 22-23) and

Baltimore

(November 18-19) later this year!
