This past Saturday (Oct. 27th) The End Games hosted a Magic the Gathering Standard format PPTQ. With a brand new format still shaking out, the competition was fierce. After the initial Swiss rounds there was a cut to a single elimination Top 8 playoffs. When the smoke cleared after three hard fought rounds, Chad Pennell stood above the rest. Many thanks to everyone that came out and we hope everyone continues to enjoy this great new format. Without further ado, here are you top 8 decklists!
