In an amazing five-game final match against Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa, Brian Kibler has taken down Magic: The Gathering’s Pro Tour Dark Ascension. The epic semifinal match against Jon Finkel’s Delver featuring Drogksol Captains was just as intense as the mirror match finale featuring titans, simulacrums, flying land poison, and even some new Dark Ascension faces making appearances.
Brian Kibler’s list of Magic: The Gathering accomplishments could fill several pages, and his feats also extend to design on Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer (You may have noticed Kibler sporting fashionable Ascension deck protectors during the event) and the World of Warcraft TCG.
Kibler snags the $40,000 top prize for the event, emerging victorious from a Top 8 absolutely loaded with top Magic: The Gathering talent. Final event standings from the Top 8 at Pro Tour Dark Ascension:
