If you ask Tobias Grütter about his biggest MTG moments, he will name a prerelease in 2001, where he firmly planted himself in last place. “Dead last,” Tobias claims, “is a hard place to reach with all those mid-tier players crowding the way.”

But his real pièce de résistance? Becoming the first and last Frontier Champion at the legendary Magic Monk, an achievement most people claim he invented because nobody remembers the format.

A self-styled “Grixis and Legacy aficionado,” Tobias feels more at home with Force of Will, Lightning Bolt, and Snapcaster Mage than in any format with the word “social” in it. Commander? For Tobias, it’s Solitaire with friends watching.
