After two days and 1700 foes, Daniel Scheid and his Red-Green Monsters emerged victorious at Grand Prix Los Angeles. On his road to the winner's circle Scheid had to dispatch two Abzan Midrange decks only to face off against Dennis Ulanov's Rabble Red in the finals. In the final game, two Stormbreath Dragons and a Crater's Claws cemented the victory for the hometown hero.
