How Persecutor Nearly Won Grand Contest

What happens when one of Sorcery's most overlooked avatars nearly wins the biggest event in the game's history? In this episode, we're joined by Brian Snyder, who piloted Persecutor to a stunning 2nd Place finish at the first Grand Contest. We break down the deck, the card choices, key matchups, and why Persecutor may be one of the most underrated avatars in Sorcery: Contested Realm. Topics include: * Why Brian chose Persecutor * Building "Steam Druid" style Persecutor * Peacemaker Arbalest and Love Potion technology * How the deck attacks the current metagame * Matchups against Archimago, Necromancer, Pathfinder, Avatar of Air, and more * The Top 8 and Finals run * Lessons learned from the first Grand Contest If you've written off Persecutor as a fringe avatar, this conversation may change your mind. What avatar do you think is the most underrated in Sorcery right now? Let us know in the comments. #SorceryTCG #SorceryContestedRealm #GrandContest #TCG #CardGames
