Jon Stern Hot in Atlanta!

Our very own, Jon Stern from Team Face to Face Games, took home the trophy at Grand Prix Atlanta to win his second career Grand Prix (his first one being Atlantic City in January of 2013).

Stern managed to best the entire field of 1298 players in the Theros block Limited format. What was even more impressive was his path in the top 8, needing to vanquish recent Pro Tour Champion Shaun McLaren and two of the biggest stars of the game in William Jensen and Tomoharu Saito.

UG is where Stern wanted to be in this format and he was able to carve himself a deck in that archetype for Day 1 and the top 8 draft. Check ’em out!
