The Boss VS. Todd: Merfolk VS. Temur Delver

It’s a Modern clash ahead of #SCGNY! Will Tom “The Boss” Ross lay down the law with the mono-blue power of Merfolk, or will Todd Anderson, fresh off an SCG Classic Top 16 with a Temur Delver deck drawn from his “Temur Box,” run the list back for another victory?

Standard Is Broken

A truly diverse Pro Tour Top 8 means the format is perfectly reasonable, right? Pro Tour Champion Ari Lax isn’t so sure. He learned a lot about the format in his team’s testing, and he’s convinced we’re seeing the beginning of what will end up being a historically dangerous environment! Read his analysis here!

Todd VS. Brad: Mono-Red Aggro VS. Bant Humans

Todd Anderson is keeping it simple this week: Mono-Red to make his opponent mono-dead. His foe? Brad Nelson, packing the dynamic duo of Collected Company and Thalia’s Lieutenant. Who will win this clash of speed against power ahead of #SCGRegionals?
