Alexander West first played Magic in high school in the 1990s.  He quickly lost a Candelabra of Tawnos (from his "all Antiquities" deck) in an ante game to the kid next door, and began plotting his revenge.  He stopped playing during The Dark, only to return during Time Spiral to find the world of the Pro Tour and the Grand Prix circuit.  He broke in immediately with a Top 16 finish at Grand Prix-San Francisco, qualifying to play in Pro Tour-Valencia.  Since then he's travelled the world to play in cities as disparate as Daytona Beach, Stutgart, Vancouver, Philadelphia, Brussels, Birmingham, Indianapolis, Denver, Singapore, Boston, and Melbourne, scoring many money finishes on Day 2.  He has competed in Argentine Nationals in 2009, and finished 11th at Grand Prix-Oakland.  You can find his old strategy articles at TCGPlayer.com; he is currently looking for a good home for the new ones.
