After two days of Magic at Pro Tour Amonkhet, Sunday brought an absolutely stacked Top 8, somehow full of players who had somehow never won a Pro Tour. Who would finally manage to convert a Top 8 into a Pro Tour win? With a field that was fairly representative of the top tables from Days 1 and 2, featuring a lot of Aetherworks Marvel decks and both the mono-black and white/black Zombies variants, would it be Ulamog or a horde of Zombies that would take down Pro Tour Amonkhet?
