The Finisher

We all know the Standard bannings took place a few weeks ago. Well, this past weekend at SCGColumbus, it turns out that our favorite red mage Patrick Sullivan didn’t know that the SCG playmat for all Standard competitors for the next quarter of the year are going to feature the art from the recently banned Smuggler’s Copter. So while everyone goes and Googles up that GIF of PSulli cackling madly real quick, tell me what you think SCG should do with all them extra Smuggler’s playmats.
