Feature Match, Round 8: Benjamin Sager vs. Joe Torres

Lightsworn versus Blackwings may be the defining Match of this event, and we have an example of this head-to-head for this Match. Joe Torres is running Lightsworn, while Benjamin Sager is packing a teched out Blackwing build complete with “Blackwing – Mistral the Silver Shield.” “Mistral is Captain Amazing,” remarked Sager. “I can search all the way down the chain with “Black Whirlwind,” even Summoning Vayu to get Mistral. He’s a Tuner, he’s got 1800 DEF – it’s a great card.” Hopefully we’d see it in action here! Read more…
