124 players competed in Milford, MA in the finals of the NAC circuit. Each of them received a prize – players at the bottom of the standings receiving at least a pair of draft sets. Rietzl earned $2500 for his efforts.
Rietzl entered the top 8 as second seed with a 6-1 record. His affinity deck defeated two bad matchups in the last two rounds – both Tom Guevin and finalist Domenic Minicucci were playing Elf and Nail decks.
Paul Rietzl cements his place among the game's pros with this performance. He earned top 8 finishes in Grand Prix: Anaheim and Grand Prix: Oakland earlier this year, and had a string of Pro Tour money finishes this season
