At age 15, Ben Rubun graduated from the Pro Tour Junior division to take second place in his first Premier Event: Pro Tour Los Angeles 3. He would also take second place in the World Championships that year and go on to claim two more Pro Tour top 4s, two Grand Prix wins, and two Masters titles. In 2009 the Academy was kind enough to induct him into the Magic the Gathering Hall of Fame. After a four year hiatus, Ben came back to the game in 2014 and has managed to avoid embarrassment, with a pair of Grand Prix finals, several PT cash finishes, and a few more good deck ideas.
