bushh
Name: Bushh Pangestu
Did you prepare for this Master ? No, i just knew there is the master at Saturday morning, I thought it was Sunday
What deck did you play and why ? Planeswalkers, because it's good
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards) ? Yeah it's quite cool; I like terminate :)
Other MtG achievements (online) ? Won a Sealed Trial a while back
Other MtG achievements (irl) ? Won some FNMs, Top8 some GPTs
Anything you'd like to add ? let's make a magic-league team for Worlds, lol

Caith
Name: Jari Inkinen
Did you prepare for this Master ? I played the same deck as I did in T2 Trial.
 I did some minor changes to sideboard after that. I didn't do any testing though, too busy playing sealeds.
What deck did you play and why ? GB Elves. I wanted to play a fast deck. Seven mana producing elves and good 3 drops is what I was looking for.
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards) ?  I like the fact that Terminate is in it. Terminator - half human, half robot.
Other MtG achievements (online) ? Couple of Trial wins.
Other MtG achievements (irl) ? I've scrubbed out 2 PTs.
Anything you'd like to add ? I played only two matches in the swiss. 2 Byes, 2 draws and 1 no-show.

Cookie
Name: Diogo Cotrim
Did you prepare for this Master? Playing against GFSS
What deck did you play and why ? I felt bored and wanted to play a fun deck. Saw this, picked and played it.
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards) ? Didn't see anything of the edition yet.
Other MtG achievements (online) ? 2/3 top8 Master
Other MtG achievements (irl) ? 1 portuguese nationals appearance
Anything you'd like to add ? quero dedicar este top8 ao hike, ao GFSS e ao Diablo47 ahahah.

JKilla
Name: James Kapsidis
Did you prepare for this Master ? not really; i've been playing this deck for a while now and feel comfortable with it
What deck did you play and why ? Jund Ramp, I built it a while ago and I feel it has no bad matchups
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards) ? I think Alara Reborn will be crap due to no one-drops
Other MtG achievements (online) ? a bunch of PE wins etc, dont play MTGO any more (v3 sucks)
Other MtG achievements (irl) ? some random PTQ top 8's
Anything you'd like to add ? I hope i don't face Cookie's awesome tech in top8

KeySam
Name: Nikolas Crisci
Did you prepare for this Master ?  I didn't prepare especially for this master but i played some standard and looked for decks without Reflecting Pool and Cryptic Command because i thought i could borrow most of the other cards
What deck did you play and why ? RB Goblins, because it doesn't run Reflecting Pool or Cryptic Command and has pretty good matchups in this metagame
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards) ? Hmm, it's to early for me to tell right now but some of the cards that i've seen i like
Other MtG achievements (online) ? Some magic-league top 8s and a number of trial wins(if you want to count them)
Other MtG achievements (irl) ?  no real achievments, i guess the biggest achievment for rl is the creation of elfball(although i did that online)
Anything you'd like to add ? nothing else to add

leonin
Name: Alex Anstey
Did you prepare for this Master ? I netdecked my deck about 20 minutes before entries closed, so no
What deck did you play and why ? I played Chapin's deck from the SCG tourney because I have a man-crush on Chapin
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards) ? I really like hybrid cards, which the set has, so I'm happy
Other MtG achievements (online) ? 2-3 master top8s
Other MtG achievements (irl) ? No IRL tournaments where I live
Anything you'd like to add ? May the force be with you

Lunari
Name: Matti K.
Did you prepare for this Master: I lived in a mountain hut in the Alps for 2 months playing only against myself to test all the matchups and make sure no one could steal my techs
What deck did you play and why: Allu.dec because Kaos made me feel like it :(
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards): It doesn't sound too great for limited
Other MtG achievements (online): Handful of trial top 2-4's and master top8s, including the last 2 trials I played in.
Other MtG achievements (irl): I won Tomtz once!
Anything you'd like to add: Afternoon before the truth than the lie the fair would draw.

PV
Name: Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa
Did you prepare for this Master? Not really, I've played this t2 a lot before
What deck did you play and why ? 5cc, because I think it's good and I'm tired of playing Faeries
Do you like Alara Reborn so far (no monocolored cards) ? I think it has potential, though I don't like when there are such pointless limiting factors. Why not have a mono colored card if it fits? But I guess it's fine. Some of the spoiled cards thus far are also good, like terminate and the 5/5 can't be countered guy
Other MtG achievements (online) ?I've won a couple masters and trials
Other MtG achievements (irl)  ? I have 4 Pro Tour top8s
Anything you'd like to add ?  check my new weekly column at www.starcitygames.com ;)
