Prior to the introduction of the Magic Pro League (MPL) and Rivals, Pro Tours were the top-tier Magic events, sans the World Championship. Luis Scott-Vargas feels that the Zendikar Rising Championship comes close to the feeling of Pro Tours: "I’m pretty hyped for the Zendikar Champs this weekend - it feels more like a PT than most of this new wave of tournaments, and I’m excited to play in it," he writes on Twitter.
Leading Rivals, Scott-Vargas is in a great spot for both MPL promotion and World Championship qualification. He can expand his lead with a strong performance in the Zendikar Rising Championship.
His decks of choice are Esper in Standard and Sultai in Historic, as Seth Manfield. Following the release of the metagame, Scott-Vargas tweeted that he "feels pretty good about those choices."
Follow Scott-Vargas, Manfield, and the rest of the field December 4th at 5:00 PM on twitch.tv/magic .
