Spain continued to be a home away from home for Canadian Magic, as McLaren followed up on Alexander Hayne's win at Pro Tour Avacyn Restored last year in Barcelona. Expect to hear plenty from these three Canadians the rest of the season as all three jump into the hunt for Player of the Year.
The Pro Tour's return to Valencia opened with great anticipation on what the recent changes to the Modern Banned and Restricted List would do to the metagame. The absence of Deathrite Shaman opened up deck choices and made for a vibrant format that featured eight distinct decks in the Top 8. Couple that with the debut of Born of the Gods/Theros Booster Draft on the Pro Tour stage and the impressive performances by all the Top 8 players and you get a Pro Tour few will soon forget.
