Things are getting a little goofy on VS! Todd Stevens just wants to cast Doubling Season and planeswalkers, while Ross Merriam is on a mission to mill out his foe! Which strategy will reign supreme?
It’s a double feature of Modern VS! Will Brad Nelson win with Blue Moon more often than the deck’s namesake implies, or will Ross Merriam and B/R Hollow One hoard the victories? Anyone piloting either of these at the Season Two Invitational?
Two SCG Premium authors, five numbers to ponder, and one big event: it’s Over/Under, SCG Season Two Invitational-style. Will Temur Energy crack the 50% mark by Day 2? Will Tarmogoyf and Lightning Bolt get shut out in Modern? And just how high could Todd Stevens’s numbers go?
