Names that most of us don't know are cool and all, but decks would be of some interest. At least the archtypes.

And we don't really need to see tiebreakers, as convenient as copy/paste is.

all of the Top 8 decklists will be up by Tuesday. The top 8 was 2 Stax, 1 4cc, mono blue control, TNT, crucible grow, growstill, and hulksmash.
Stax beat 4cc in finals and stax beat mono blue for 3rd.

3 C&J players in the top 4. Looks like Ken wins it all. It'll be interesting to see what tech they took to Las Vegas.

Ken Johnson - Kilo here on Tmd
Brent Peterson - Unstablecornbread here on Tmd
Dan Messineo - no tmd account yet?

Buh?  This tournament was in Las Vegas, which is pretty far from your corner of the world.  I wouldn't expect you to recognize the names unless you keep up with the California Top 20.  Needless to say, the top few names are pretty familiar to me.  

Btw, congrats to those who made the trip to Vegas, to those who finished well, and to those who just had some fun with the magical cards.

You get my point, right?
