Pro Tour Dragon's Maze
Pro Tour Dragon's Maze was the last Pro Tour of the 2012–13 season. The event had 388 competitors, and took place on 17–19 May 2013 in San Diego, California, United States. The formats were Block Constructed and Return to Ravnica block Booster draft, and was the first constructed premier event where Dragon's Maze was legal. The final day featured two players in their fourth Pro Tour top eight: Josh Utter-Leyton and Makihito Mihara, but it would be White Aggro specialist Craig Wescoe who earned his first Pro Tour trophy in his third Sunday appearance; he defeated Arizona native Dusty Ochoa in the final.
Day one
As with the previous Pro Tour, the event started with a Booster draft (Return to Ravnica block). The featured player was Luis Scott-Vargas, who drafted Red-Green-Blue to a 1–2 record. Players who got off to a better start included Bob Maher, Jr., Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa, Darwin Kastle, reigning World Champion Yuuya Watanabe, and Tomoharu Saito, playing in his first Pro Tour since his suspension in 2010; these players all started 3–0. Return to Ravnica Block Constructed featured a variety of decks, but the most popular by far was Esper Control, with over 27% of players opting for the Sphinx's Revelation deck.[1] Other decks included Bant Control, Selesnya Aggro, Junk Midrange, and a host of other midrange decks. One deck that garnered considerable attention was the Maze's End deck, predominantly polited by Swedish players.[2] At the end of the day, one perfect record remained; this belonged to level 2 judge Rob Castellon, who was playing a four-color midrange deck with Sire of Insanity and Deadbridge Chant.
