Uruguay's National Champion, Juan Odriozola

Congratulations to Juan Odriozola on winning the 2009 Uruguay National Championships and earning an invite to Worlds. In contrast to the 5Color domination of the U.S. Nationals this event — which was admittedly close to 10 times smaller — featured 8 different deck archetypes. The Top 8 reads like a Standard primer from the past year of Magic with a range of archetypes from Bant to Reviellark all rearing their heads.

Thanks to second place finisher Gustavo Fischer for the lists. Gustavo was quick to point out that his Top 8 berth was due almost entirely to his undefeated Limited performance. Top 8 finisher Jorge Sierra went undefeated in Standard - up until the Top 8 that is - with Kithkin.
