Andre Coimbra wins World Championships in Rome

Andre Coim­bra of Por­tu­gal defeated David Reit­bauer to become the 2009 World Cham­pion of Magic. It was an epic bat­tle between Jund and Naya style decks, with Naya com­ing out on top. Andre is a long time pro, and has been in the Top 8 of Worlds before four years ago in 2005. He has two GP 2nd places to his name. Con­grat­u­la­tions to Andre!

China defeated Aus­tria in the finals, com­ing from the shad­ows they were def­i­nitely the dark horse of the com­pe­ti­tion. But they were up to the task and they were able to win. They won Legacy 2–1, Extended 2–1 while los­ing Stan­dard 2–1. Con­grat­u­la­tions to China on its team victory.
