Deck Description

Naya Lightsaber was a midrange deck that utilized powerful creatures and efficient removal spells to control the game and apply pressure on opponents. Key cards in the deck included:

Birds of Paradise: Accelerated mana ramp to cast threats ahead of schedule.
Baneslayer Angel: A powerful finisher that could swing games in Kibler's favor.
Bloodbraid Elf: Provided card advantage and often cascaded into more threats or removal.
Knight of the Reliquary: Searched for utility lands like Treetop Village and provided a large threat.
Ranger of Eos: Fetched important creatures like Birds of Paradise or Ranger of Eos itself.
Ajani Vengeant and Elspeth, Knight-Errant: Provided additional threats and utility with their abilities.
Lightning Bolt and Path to Exile: Efficient removal spells to deal with opposing threats.
Windbrisk Heights: Provided card advantage by allowing Kibler to cast spells for free after attacking with three or more creatures.
The sideboard was tailored to handle specific matchups, such as Celestial Purge against black or red decks, Ethersworn Canonist against combo decks, Great Sable Stag for control matchups, and Wrath of God for board sweepers.

Brian Kibler's innovative deck construction and skillful play with Naya Lightsaber led to his victory at Pro Tour Austin 2009, showcasing his prowess as a top Magic: The Gathering player.
