Two-time Pro Tour Champion Brian “The Dragonmaster” Kibler has a history of doing well with decks that don’t look like the rest of the field, and his 9-1 record with his G/W Aggro deck shows that it may have been the best-positioned deck in the room at #PTOrigins.
While BBD may not have had the result he wanted at Pro Tour Magic Origins, he has some vital lessons to take away from that experience and some key insights for what deck you should be picking up next to battle last week’s winners.
