The Mtg 2010 Season kicked off with Grand Prix Oakland last weekend and as Day Two getting to a close, we saw pros perform on the last remaining rounds to get to the top 8. Well, the final eight has been decided as of the writing of this post. It features the best players and high level pros of Magic with the names Conley Woods, Tomoharu Saito and Adam Yurchick. The rest had big accomplishments in their playing career too.
The Extended meta had shifted a bit with the addition of Worldwake and saw interesting decks emerging on the scene. Here are some of the cool decks that made Day Two (source: Wizards’ official coverage).
