Pro Tour Nagoya
Pro Tour Nagoya saw battles in Scars Block constructed and Scars block drafting. Of the known Block Archetypes, it seems that Puresteel Paladin was perhaps the strongest of the archetypes, beating out even Big Red. You'll find the excellent coverage, both written, and video, available on the Wizards website.
