After four days, three formats of intense Magic competition in Worlds 2011, Jun’ya Iyanaga and Team Japan dominated the individual Worlds 2011 Champion and Team Worlds Champion respectively. Iyanaga’s Wolf Run Ramp version worked successfully with the aggro-expected Metagame popularized by the Token Town, UW Humans and Team Fireball’s innovative build of Tempered Steel Aggro.

The top 8 showcased literally four Tempered Steel, piloted by powerhouse pros Luis Scott-Vargas, Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa, Josh Utter-Leyton and the winner streak Conley Woods. Other decks are the Mono White Humans by Craig Wescoe, Mono Red by David Caplan, and GW Tokens by Richard Bland. It was a meta call for Tempered Steel but unfortunately lost their touch as the first three got eliminated in the quarters and Woods on the semis, losing to Iyanaga. Good thing though is that the losses locked up their teammate, Owen Turtenwald Player of the Year title for 2011.
