Then they recap tournament predictions from the action packed weekend across the world with some exciting infusions of non-"Big 4" decks in the mix. Note that this was recorded prior to the announcement that Ascended Heroes was being delayed in terms of tournament legality so there won't be any discussion on that until next week.
