Day 2 Coverage
Thiago Saporito of Brazil has consistently performed over the years, both on Magic Online and—since Pro Tour Khans of Tarkir—offline as well, but what has eluded him up until now has been a title. Grand Prix Las Vegas changed that, as Saporito entered Day Two of the Limited main event at 8-0-1 and never stopped winning throughout Saturday.
After being the first player to clinch a Top 8 spot, Saporito drafted a powerful red-black deck that propelled him through the competition with precision, besting Bolun Zhang and Paul Herr before overcoming Pro Tour Shadows over Innistrad champion Steve Rubin in the finals.
Congratulations to Thiago Saporito on his long-deserved victory, and for being the second of three players to walk home with a trophy at Grand Prix Las Vegas this weekend!
