18/10/09 Update - Top 8 Decklists added.

Francis Lumbo is your Cardmaster October 2009 1K Standard Tournament Champion!

Francis Lumbo CM1K OCT09 Champ

In yet another field chocked full of Jund Aggro decks, Francis Lumbo alone went undefeated throughout the whole tournament all the way through the top 8 single elimination rounds. His weapon of choice: Jund Aggro, much like the rest of the top 8 albeit with different builds. However a wide variety of archetypes like Vampires, Mono White Aggro, Boros Bushwhacker and Grixis Control are sprinkled across the rest of the non-Jund top 8.

Francis Lumbo defeated Dexter Shee but not before dispatching Chin Wei Han in the Semifinals and Mohd Khairul Anuar in the Quarterfinals. Meanwhile Dexter knocked out Karry Lim in the Semifinals and Yii Terh Kuan in the Quarterfinals. Wei Han in turn defeated Shawn Khoo in the Quarterfinals while Karry defeated QJ Wong in the other Quarterfinals matchup.
