The Four Decks Of Pro Tour Amonkhet

We had a one-deck format. That wasn’t great. Now that we have four (and probably a few more for a while), Standard feels pretty awesome! Gerry Thompson tells you what you’re bound to see on camera this weekend and at SCG Louisville next weekend!

The Pro Tour As We Know It. I Think.

The Boss knows people in high places. He has an inside line to a lot of the Pro Tour participants, and he knows a lot of the decks he expects to see running the show this weekend! What would he play? Would his answer change in a week at SCG Louisville?
