The Boss has it together for this weekend! If you want his take on how SCG Richmond is likely to shape up, the answers are here!
Jim Davis almost did it last weekend. He almost claimed the glory of a week one top 8 in a field of decks he had under his foot from the word go. But a top 16 will have to do. With SCG Richmond just days away, Jim, how good does it feel to be playing a traditional two-color control deck?
The brewing and new set knowledge aren’t over until The Innovator says they are! Patrick Chapin returns to lay down the last of the Aether Revolt landscape when it comes to card evaluation and fresh deck ideas! Best of luck at SCG Richmond, everyone!
Todd Anderson is on his way to Richmond for the SCG Tour’s next stop, but he’s already got eyes on the big showdown overseas! He can already see the metagame shaping up, and accordingly, he’s already thinking of how to counteract it! Todd: Don’t ever change.
Tom “The Boss” Ross is just full of G/R Energy, and he can’t wait to Electrostatic Pummeler his foes into oblivion! But Michael Majors and his conspicuously counterspell-free B/W Control deck have other ideas. Who’ll win this Standard clash with implications for the SCG Richmond metagame?
Remember when Walking Ballista just seemed like a bad Hangarback Walker ripoff? After SCG Columbus, Michael Majors certainly doesn’t think that’s the case. In fact, he makes an argument that it will be the single most defining card of Pro Tour Aether Revolt! Will it be in your SCG Richmond 75?

It is a grim future, with lots of Felidar Guardians and Winding Constrictors. A future where Five-Color Snakeheeli has seized power. Only one man can stop it…actually, Shaun McLaren can’t. That’s why he’s sending this message back in time: to warn you all!
A variety of decks reached the Top 64 of SCG Columbus, but there are some clear winners. Ari Lax dives into top performers, puzzles over some seeming anomalies, and gives a prediction for SCG Richmond this weekend that you might not expect!
Brad Nelson has four copies of Walking Ballista in his G/W Tokens deck. Ross Merriam has Toolcraft Exemplar as the power one-drop in his Vehicle-free build of Mardu Artifact Aggro. This can’t possibly go well for Ross…can it?
