Once again players have come together for another leg of the $1,500,000 Pro Play Circuit, this time just across from the Golden Gate Bridge! Gold Foils, PTIs, and $2,000 USD were all to play for, but who took home the gold?
While the exit of Dromai has shaken up the Classic Constructed metagame, it is still just as diverse as ever, rewarding players for their hard work getting reps, learning lines, and being prepared. Anyone can enter a Battle Hardened and win, you just need to keep your eyes on the prize and focus on good decision making.
Let's take a look at last weekend's winners...
Battle Hardened
More than 100 players rocked up to San Francisco last weekend to take a stab at the title. The disappearance of Dromai left some uncertainty hanging in the air, which players adapted to with tried and true methods. While the established top dogs of the meta performed well, there were still a few avenues for sneaky outliers to slide into, resulting in a perfect pizza pie Top 8 - all completely different heroes represented!
