The Finisher

The highest tier of Flesh and Blood competitive play is The Calling! Stop me if you've heard this one: there is a $1,000,000 Pro Tour circuit, National Championships, World Championships, and a clear and concise path to get there. Hey, if Magic isn't gonna do it, F.A.B. might as well take it over. But it got me thinking: Magic's got some excellent things to copy, so what else would you do if you copied WotC's homework?
