Recap: Battle Hardened Philadelphia

Mar 13, 2024 Kasharn Rao

Another day, another smash hit Flesh and Blood tournament at SCG CON! Players braved the arena in Philly last weekend to showcase to the crowd what they were made of, primed to fight for their share of $2,000 USD!

The metagame created by Heavy Hitters has finally had some time to develop, and players were keen to demonstrate what they'd learned. Dromai stepped up to establish herself as the leading threat, and with Pro Tour: Los Angeles just over a week away, players had better be prepared to smash the ash!

Read up on what went down...

Battle Hardened

More than 160 players rocked up to SCG CON in Philadelphia to test their strength in Classic Constructed. Dromai raked through the metagame, claiming three of the spots in a top cut stacked with pro players, but in the end it was she who was burned. One by one each of them fell to none other than the Dracai of Aether. But Kano's reign of arcane terror was eventually cut down to size by a tenacious Uzuri!

Congratulations to Caleb Engen, and to the rest of our Top 8 competitors!

PTI Event

More than 60 players clashed for gold and glory in the PTI Event, doubling down on Classic Constructed! This time the Dracai of Aether was able to complete his research, eventually coming face to face with his ultimate nemesis - himself! A Kano mirror match is a rare sight to see in the finals, just two sly Wizards slinging fireballs at each other to determine who is the true master of the arcane arts.

Congratulations to Majin Bae, and to the rest of our Top 8 competitors!
