Flesh and Blood - Battle Hardened Richmond: Top 8 and Decks

Battle Hardened: Richmond took place this weekend, from April 14th to 16th. Almost a hundred players competed in the Classic Constructed format for a total prize pool of $2,000. More importantly, however, were the Professional Tournament Invites (PTIs) given to winners, as they secure a spot in the Pro Tour Baltimore, which is coming up later in April.

A somewhat varied metagame dominated the event, with a few very well-known names such as Dromai, Lexi, Oldhim and Azalea taking up the lead as most played heroes. In the end, however, the great Grandfather took over the race, and the final match was a mirror match with both players piloting Oldhim.

But, it is undeniable that players are trying their best to be inventive and original with their deck choices. Everyone wants to be the next player to crack the meta. Take a look at the meta game numbers breakdown and the Top 8 below:

> 1st: Pat Eshghy - Oldhim, Grandfather of Eternity

> 2nd: Trenton McBride - Oldhim, Grandfather of Eternity

> 3rd-4th: Brodie Spurlock - Azalea, Ace in the Hole

> 3rd-4th: Jodey Burney - Dromai, Ash Artist

> 5th-8th: Devin Rattenni - Uzuri, Switchblade

> 5th-8th: Lucas Bannigan - Bravo, Showstopper

> 5th-8th: Merrick Kemp - Dash, Inventor Extraordinaire

> 5th-8th: Matthew McInnis - Lexi, Livewire

Congratulations to Pat Eshghy for defeating Trenton McBride in an Oldhim mirror and becoming the Battle Hardened Richmond Champion!
