The big story of the Honolulu Pro Tour wasn't Kazuya Mitamura's $40,000 victory in the finals. The big story happened in the first round, where a young boy known only as Hans did something that is causing many to call him a hero. Hans's game was looking unwinnable. He had a negative life total and was kept alive only by his Platinum Angel.

Tuesday, July 7th - Rich brings you the rundown on the latest Big Show, the Pro Tour in Paradise that saw Kazuya Mitamura crowned champion as one of the fastest to cross the 100 Pro Point threshold. Thoughts on individuals aplenty, plus an unsparing look at why The Best Deck is mostly a hideous choice if you want to actually win.
As you know, Pro Tour: Honolulu was just a little over a week ago. I played Five-Color Control with Cruel Ultimatum and cascade. Zack Hill managed to 9-1 with the same deck, catapulting him into a Top 8 finish. I only went 5-4-1 in Constructed, defeating a 4 Jund decks and a Five-Color deck, losing to Esper, G/W and two Cascade Mirrors.
