#SCGRegionals Top 8 Highlights

scgRegionals

The Pro Tour wasn’t the only Modern event going on this weekend – #SCGRegionals took place this weekend, in various places around the United States. With the Pro Tour beginning on Friday, players at Regionals only had one day to adapt to the Pro Tour metagame…or not. The Eldrazi had not infested the Regionals metagame nearly as much as the Pro Tour, and with that, we get to see the top table metagame without Splinter Twin, Amulet Bloom, or much of the Eldrazi variations that infested the Pro Tour. Check out the reddit post here. While not all of the results are in, we took a quick look for some cool decklists from around the country.
