About:

"I have been playing Magic since I was 18 years old and my Pro Tour debut was PT San Juan 2010.

"Accomplishments: One Pro Tour Top 8, six GP Top 8s with one win, two years Gold level, two years Silver level. Nowadays, I have less time for traveling and playing tournaments because of my job and family, but I still play GPs every now and then.

"I started, like many others, collecting Pokémon cards and tried out some other games like Yu-Gi-Oh!. But eventually, I ended up focusing on the one and only trading card game—Magic: The Gathering."

Azor's Gateway in Standard

Christian Seibold | 2018-10-19

Chrstian Seibold has been interested in Azor's Gateway since it was first spoiled. Filtering and a game-ending land is a potent combination, but Abrade was the card's natural enemy. Well Abrade is no more and Christian is back with his version of Gateway Control. If you're interested in awesome control brews, this is the deck for you!
