If it seems like the point totals are low in New England...you're right!
Mainly because AGE NE has been an event behind since February so, while the other two circuits' Top 16s are locked, NE still has a lot of #fabtcg to play
Two more Opens, and one is this Saturday!

Their Player’s Championship is gonna be off the chain 💪

This Saturday marks the completion of the 'Open' portion of our first season with St. Louis. It will, unfortunately, happen in the dark. That doesn't change how monumental this will be for the Top 16
Good luck #fabtcg players!
