Shaun McLaren and His W/U/R Control deck triumphed over the final eight players in the final Day of competition in the Pro Tour Born of the Gods in Valencia, Spain. His Finals opponent was Jacob Wilson piloting Melira Pod.
The first game went to McLaren but Wilson won the next two and was just one win away. Mclaren then forced a decider Game 5 in which both players valiantly battled. The control deck proved its power in the late turns of the game and in result won that Game 5 and the crown of Pro Tour Champion.
