Title: Tom Ross Challenge
Post by: DrainCleaner on October 13, 2014, 03:21:23 PM
Okay so at GP Orlando a friend of mine had a conversation with Tom "The Boss" Ross asking if he was queued for the Pro Tour. After he said no, my friend asked what he would be playing if he was going. +1 Karma to the first one who guesses what he said correctly.

Being the Boss I'd say Rabble Red maybe splashing a colour or 2 into Jeskai Tenpo?
