Team Face to Face Games – Pro Tour Fate Reforged

When it came to landing a team member into the top 8 of a Pro Tour, Team Face to Face Games was successful at their last Pro Tour, landing newest member Mike Sigrist in the top 4 with their innovative list of Abzan Aggro which is an archetype that is still extremely popular in today’s Standard.

For Pro Tour Fate Reforged, Team Face to Face Games has decided to join forces with one of the most dominant teams in Pro Tour history as they will team up with LSV and Team ChannelFireball. All the members of every major team can be found in this Teams Reforged article written by our friend Brian David-Marshall.

The core of Team Face to Face Games sees no new additions this time around, but have now whittled down to six, with Dave Shiels and Nathan Holiday not coming back for this Pro Tour.

Introducing Team Face to Face Games – Pro Tour Fate Reforged edition!
