Congratulations to the Winner of Arena Championship 6, Wouter Noordzij!

Wouter Noordzij claimed the winner's spot during this past weekend's Arena Championship 6, while Marcus Wosner took second place. They both faced a field of talented Magic players to reach the top, Wouter with his Boros Energy deck that has been much discussed with the release of Modern Horizons 3, and Marcus with the deck designed to challenge it, Jeskai Lotus Field.
In the end, Boros Energy in the hands of Wouter couldn't be stopped. Both now head to the Magic World Championship coming this October!
