The Team Modern Super League 2 wraps up today at 9 PM Eastern (GMT -4) on twitch.tv/magic.
After 12 weeks of competition, Team Modern Super League 2 concludes tonight with an awesome finals matchup. Brothers Who Bash, featuring Brad Nelson, Brian Braun-Duin, and Corey Baumeister, will take on Mage Market, made up of Thomas Enevoldsen, Andreas Petersen, and Michael Bonde, to battle for the title of Team Modern Super League 2 champion.
Tonight’s finals was already set to be an exciting matchup between two amazing teams—then yesterday, Wizards of the Coast announced the banning of Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis and Faithless Looting and the unbanning of Stoneforge Mystic in Modern. That means the finals will be one of the first Modern events after yesterday’s Banned and Restricted announcement and will feature a bunch of exciting non-Hogaak decks, including a few with Stoneforge Mystic.
To add to the excitement, Mage Market is continuing their stipulation of never repeating a decklist tonight. If they defeat the Brothers Who Bash, they will have won Team Modern Super League 2 with 25 different decks!
