SCG Daily – The Other Pro Tour
Wizards of the Coast has been making a push to make the Pro Tour more appealing to the average player. They’ve replaced monetary awards with travel vouchers, booked several Pro Tours in highly desirable travel locations (the Louvre, Prague, Hawaii), and began the Magic Hall of Fame. These innovations have been coupled with popular changes to the Pro Tour itself, but have these tactics worked to pull the non-Pro player into the world of the pro? Not as much as Wizards would have liked. Today, Ben unveils a modification to the Pro Tour designed to have huge appeal to Magic audiences around the world, not just the hyper-competitive PTQ players.
