On Saturday, the 25^th March, players from far and wide descended upon Patriot Games Sheffield. Each and every one was keen to prove they had what it takes, and maybe get an invite to the next RPTQ. Our very own Abbie Deleval, attend with her own version of Bant Eldrazi. Although she didn’t make it into the top 8, she did manage a respectable 3-3 record. The day was won by Nick Ball, with his take on Temur Tower. Scroll on down, and check out how the top 8 shaped up.
