Antoine Ruel Bio

Card

A member of the famous Team Block Ops, Antoine Ruel, a native of Aubervilliers, France, took his blue-black-red control deck to a third-place finish at this year's World Championships. Ruel credits his teammate Laurent Pagorek for the deck that he calls "AK-Go." The deck, which Ruel played to a 5—1 record during the Standard portion of the tournament, relies on card drawing (most notably Accumulated Knowledge, or "AK" for short), countermagic ("Go," for short), red for board control, and Nether Spirits for the win.
