And here's the winning deck:
SGGK
Winner, Worlds Qualifier (pre-rotation Standard)
If the name "Toshinori Shigehara" sounds familiar to you, that might be because he also won the Worlds Qualifier on Magic Online back in 2004! Here's the deck he won with four years ago:
“tori3” - Toshinori Shigehara, Japan
2004 MTGO World Championship Qualifier - 1st Place
