Ross VS. Majors: U/B Prison VS. Bant Humans
As Bob Dylan sang, “Some of us are prisoners / The rest of us are guards.” Will Ross Merriam’s U/B Prison deck keep things on lockdown, or will Michael Majors and Bant Humans break free?
Making Mistakes In Deck Selection
Many formats are dynamic, which means that the deck you pick for a given weekend could be the entire difference between a trophy and an early drop. So how does a pro like Brad Nelson approach this process? How does he know when he’s too far ahead or too far behind a metagame?
