Day one of Pro Tour Honolulu 2009 is done. The two undefeated players?
Brian Kibler and Zac Hill.
I seriously want to see that pairing in the finals. :)
Luis is on a 6-2 record at the end of the day, miring him amongst a mass of 18-pointers. Hopefully he'll pull clear tomorrow to get into yet another top eight.
I was away at a wedding this weekend, but I'm glad to see that my picks from day one did, indeed, make it to the top eight. Congratulations to both Brian Kibler and Zac Hill for making it there. Also, big congrats to Kazuya Mitamura for winning on this third run at a top eight.
The full coverage is, of course, available here.
The list of Alara block decks going 6-4 or better has been posted. Although it's not an upcoming format for me, it's still interesting -- and, of course, block decks can point toward Standard decks one might not have thought of, especially when blocks rotate.
I was hoping the day two Wargate Control deck would make the list, but apparently not.
