58 Malaysians made the trip to Grand Prix Singapore 2009, and 8 made day 2. Out of the 8, only 1 made it out of the money, while 3 made it to the top 32, and 4 more in the top 64 but unfortunately no Malaysians made it in the top 16.

After finishing just outside the top 16 at Grand Prix Hanover last weekend, Tomoharu Saito went back to the drawing board, gutting his Naya Zoo deck and rebuilding it. He had the technology. He made it better, stronger and faster. Entering the Top 8 without a match loss, he continued battling on, knocking back Sam Black and his Faeries, Yuuta Takahashi with a seemingly unfavorable match up in Green/Black Loam, before finally besting Masaya Kitayama’s Next Level Blue deck to become the Grand Prix-Singapore champion. 14 wins and 3 draws, not that has to be good for his rating.

A collector’s guide

Each card has been printed using a foil process unique to the "From the Vault" series.

The 15 cards are all printed in the current card frame – for several, it is for the first time.

8 cards have new artwork commissioned from artists including Rebecca Guay, John Avon, and Randy Gallegos.

From the Vault: Exiled will be available world-wide in English only, and will have an extremely limited print run.

All cards are black-bordered and tournament legal. This means that these cards are legal for use in any tournaments where the original printings are still legal.
