Michael Majors wants to play fair Magic. Ross Merriam wants to laugh at fair Magic.. #SCGPHILLY will most certainly feature a number of pilots for these two decks. Who should come out on top?
Just because a card in your deck gets banned doesn’t mean you won’t eventually get another card later that will put you right back in the winner’s bracket! Ross finds one such Legacy example of this phenomenon in this #SCGPHILLY preview!
SCG Tour ®mainstay Michael Majors is ready for a peer review! As dominant as the Eldrazi have been, Jeff Hoogland has shown that you can still put your signature on the format! Majors works with his #SCGLOU top 8 list here!
GerryT analyzes #SCGPHILLY’s complex Standard Classic metagame, the importance of accounting for individual cards as much as decks, and how much pressure he’s feeling to get the job done at his upcoming RPTQ!
Many people think emergency Modern bans are in order, but Brian Kibler has been around long enough to know some precedent. See what the Pro Tour veteran thinks should be done about Modern and discover his latest lists to fight them at the #SCGPHILLY Classic on Sunday!
Adrian Sullivan has seen a lot of bizarre Magic formats over the years. See where he feels the current Modern format falls in all-time weirdness, as well as what his plans are for approaching it at the upcoming Grand Prix Detroit weekend!
While a few players may be interested in taking up the new Eldrazi Legacy lists floating around, Tom Ross recommends just doing what you know at #SCGPHILLY. For him, that means attacking with little poisonous creatures and crazy, angry Goblins! See his lists here!
Todd Stevens takes a break from his Magic travels to talk about his recent successes on The SCG Tour®, his winning mentality, and of course, why he insists on looking oh so dapper when battling at tournaments!
Todd’s not going deep. He’s going medium! The lists have only been out there a short while, but is it possible that Colorless Eldrazi in Legacy is already the base level for the #SCGPHILLY metagame?
The great Sheldon Menery likes enters-the-battlefield value as much as anyone! That’s why he’s concocted a new blink deck around a famous Dragon from Magic’s yesteryear. See his deck breakdown and card choices here!
Many players are advocating traditional control strategies to stop Eldrazi in older formats, but Ross Merriam is hot on the heels of a Standard strategy that takes that philosophy and runs with it! See his latest scoop before Sunday’s #SCGPHILLY Standard Classic!
Sadly, the rumors are true. The Eldrazi will be felt at #SCGPHILLY. But will it be dominant? Ross Merriam has some choice words for the invaders that continue to conquer every format in their path!
The sick sad truth is out there: The Eldrazi are making their way to #SCGPHILLY. While some of us have taken the Oath to protect the city of Brotherly Love, SCG Players’ Champion Jim Davis can’t help but be intrigued by their power…
Brad Nelson is ready to take the Eldrazi down at #SCGPHILLY! How will he do it? With the deck he says changed how he looks at Legacy forever! Seems the best way to kill an Eldrazi alien is to break its spirit through a little Magic taxation!
