PATRICK HOBAN WINS ARGCS FORT WORTH! (& Coverage Highlights)

Congratulation to Pat Hoban for winning the first ever ARG Circuit Series with his Dragunity Ruler deck! Also, congrats to Scott Page for coming in second place with his Dragon Ruler deck. Aside from being the inaugural event of the first non-Konami sanctioned championship series, this event was also notable for several things, including the strange absence of Mermails from the Top Cut, Chain Burn making it all the way to Top 4, Fili Luna topping with his signature Blackwings after a two-year hiatus, and the drama surrounding Billy Brake and Frazier Smith's Feature Match in Round 5. (For more info on that drama, click here.)
