In 2016 Kibler helped design Drawing Dead.[8][9] Previously, he designed Chronicle of the Godslayer with Justin Gary, Rob Dougherty and John Fiorillo,[10] and worked on Chaotic and SolForge and was the lead designer of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game.[11][12] As of 2016, he is a design consultant for Eternal,[13] in addition to streaming and casting Hearthstone and certain associated tournaments. Kibler is also a professional card player, and has had great success at The Gathering with five Pro Tour Top 8s, winning Pro Tour Austin in 2009[14] and Pro Tour Honolulu in 2012.[15] He also has 13 Grand Prix Top 8s, winning three of them including the first one held in the 1997–98 season and most recently Grand Prix Sendai.[16] In August 2004, he won the inaugural VS System Pro Circuit event taking home $40,000 and a spot in history as the game's first champion.[17] Owing to a pause in his career, he was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010.[18] CareerKibler began his The Gathering career at the age of fifteen, placing 30th in the Junior Division of the first-ever Pro Tour, Pro Tour New York 1996.[12] Kibler would not qualify for the senior Pro Tour until Pro Tour Chicago 1997, which he qualified for by winning Grand Prix Toronto 1997. All his opponents in the Top 8 of Grand Prix Toronto went on to work at Wizards of the Coast, including Mike Turian, Matt Place and Erik Lauer.[2] Kibler would also attend Pro Tour Los Angeles in the 1997–1998 season, placing within the Top 64, however he would not return to the Pro Tour until the 1999–2000 season.[2] Kibler made his first Pro Tour Top 8 at Pro Tour Chicago 2000. This was also the tournament where Kibler would earn the nickname of The Dragonmaster, after beating Jon Finkel in the Swiss rounds and Zvi Mowshowitz in the quarterfinals with a combination of {{mtgcard|Rith, the Awakener}} and {{mtgcard|Armadillo Cloak}}.[2] He would go on to lose to Kai Budde in the semi-finals, taking third place in the overall standings.[18] This would be Kibler's best Pro Tour performance before he retired from the game at the end of the 2004 season. In 2005, Kibler was one of a small number of players commemorated by Wizards of the Coast with a "Pro Player" collectible reference card.[19][20] After taking several years away from Magic (while working at Wizards' direct competitor Upper Deck) he returned in 2009.[12] Kibler claims that a major motivating factor for his return was his desire to enter the The Gathering Hall of Fame, which was created the year following his retirement.[2] Kibler would make consecutive Pro Tour Top 8s upon his return, making Top 8 at Pro Tour Honolulu before going on to win his first Pro Tour at Pro Tour Austin, defeating Tsuyoshi Ikeda in the tournament finals.[21] By the end of the year he placed in the top 10 of the year's best performers on the Magic Pro Tour, achieving enough points to guarantee him invites to major championships, free air travel, and a guaranteed appearance fee for attending all 2010 events.[22] Additionally, he was tied for 6th among player committee votes of the possible entrants for the 2009 Hall of Fame, carrying around 20% of their vote.[23] In 2010, Kibler's high performance continued, granting him his third Grand Prix title, another Pro Tour Top 8, and finally induction into the Hall of Fame. Kibler was inducted in the Hall of Fame Class of 2010 alongside Gabriel Nassif and Bram Snepvangers.[24] In the 2012 season, Kibler made his fifth career Pro Tour Top 8 at Pro Tour Dark Ascension in Honolulu. The Top 8 would also feature two other Hall of Fame members in Jon Finkel and Jelger Wiegersma. Brian Kibler defeated Finkel in the semi-finals in a match considered by commentators to be among the best matches in Magic history.[15][25] This led to Kibler playing against teammate Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa in the finals. Kibler then defeated Damo da Rosa 3–2 to win his second Pro Tour title. By winning the Pro Tour, Kibler secured his place in the first Magic Players Championship. Kibler also became the United States National Champion by being the American player with the highest number of Pro Points after Pro Tour Avacyn Restored, leading the United States National Team to 12th place at the inaugural World Magic Cup. As of 2017, Kibler had earned a total of $279,747 in tournament winnings over his career[34], placing him then at #11 of all time earnings; and as of 2018, at #18 on the same list. [3] HearthstoneKibler also plays the digital card game Hearthstone, winning the ChallengeStone tournaments in May 2015 and November 2016, the latter taking place at BlizzCon 2016.[26] He took second place in the GEICO Brawl #1 in July 2015. Kibler has also been a commentator on Hearthstone tournaments, including the BlizzCon and Championship tournaments.[27][28] Kibler has been regularly streaming his Hearthstone gameplay on Twitch, and has a reputation in the community of being diplomatic, level-headed and rarely becoming angry.[29][30] He prefers Constructed format to Arena.[31] Personal lifeKibler grew up in Hampstead, New Hampshire and attended boarding school at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts.[12] Kibler would later attend Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, majoring in Philosophy and Religion. On October 12, 2014, Kibler proposed to his longtime girlfriend Natalie Warren in Honolulu, Hawaii after participating in Pro Tour Khans of Tarkir. They also have a Pomeranian mix, Shiro, named after the color "white" in Japanese, which Natalie learned in high school.[32][33] Kibler is color blind.[34] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Brian Kibler is From Idaho |url=https://clips.twitch.tv/bmkibler/MistyShrewMingLee|accessdate=2017-01-06}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |title=Brian Kibler: Magic Pro Tour Hall of Fame |url=http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/HallOfFame.aspx?x=mtgevent/hofplayer/bkibler |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |accessdate=November 7, 2011 |year=2010}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |title=Top 200 All-Time Money Leaders |url=https://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/top-players/statistics/top-200-money-leaders|date= 18 January 2018|website= Magic: The Gathering Website |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |accessdate=18 May 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Lifetime Pro Tour Top 8s |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |accessdate=2014-12-16 |url=http://magic.wizards.com/en/protour/standings/top8byplayer}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=Lifetime Grand Prix Top 8s |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |accessdate=2014-12-16 |url=http://magic.wizards.com/en/protour/standings/gptop8byplayer}} 6. ^{{cite web |title=Planeswalker Points (requires login) |accessdate=2014-12-16 |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |url=http://www.wizards.com/Magic/PlaneswalkerPoints/Leaderboard/Professional#season=alltime,region=all,nationality=all,residencecountry=all,residencestate=allstates}} 7. ^{{cite web |title=AMA with Brian Kibler |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/xl2a1/ama_with_brian_kibler_magic_pro_player_and_game/c5nrah7 |date=3 August 2012 |accessdate=15 September 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.drawingdeadgame.com/|title=Drawing Dead|website=www.drawingdeadgame.com}} 9. ^{{cite tweet|user=bmkibler|author=Brian Kibler|number=786612068963131392|date=13 October 2016|title=If you like poker, you should check out this cool new game I helped design :)}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer |publisher=Boardgamegeek.com |accessdate=November 3, 2010 |url=http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/69789/ascension-chronicle-of-the-godslayer}} 11. ^{{cite web |title=Interview with Brian Kibler, Part 1 |date=July 31, 2006 |publisher=Upper Deck Entertainment |accessdate=2009-10-22 |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wow/en/news/article.aspx?aid=986}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} 12. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |title=Twenty Questions With Brian Kibler |url=http://www.mtgfanatic.com/Articles/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=113426 |publisher=MTGFanatic.com |accessdate=November 7, 2011 |date=November 1, 2010}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/eternalcardgame/posts/671866122978266:0|title=Eternal|website=Facebook|date= 29 July 2016|quote="Thrilled to welcome Brian Kibler as a design consultant for Eternal!"}} 14. ^{{cite web |title=Kibler Completes Comeback with Austin Victory |date=October 18, 2009 |accessdate=2009-10-21 |url=http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/ptaus09/welcome}} 15. ^1 {{cite web |title=Kibler Triumphs in Epic Pro Tour |date=February 12, 2012 |accessdate=2012-02-13 |url=http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/ptdka12/welcome}} 16. ^{{cite web |title=Brian Kibler Wins in Sendai |date=June 6, 2010 |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |accessdate=2010-06-06 |url=http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/gpsen10/welcome}} 17. ^{{cite news |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2004_August_26/ai_n6170663/ |work=Business Wire |title=Atlanta Native Brian Kibler Crowned Champion in Upper Deck Entertainment Super Heroes Trading Card Game Pro Circuit Tournament |date=August 26, 2004}} 18. ^{{cite web |title=2000 Pro Tour Chicago Coverage |url=http://www.wizards.com/sideboard/event.asp?event=PTCHI00 |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |accessdate=November 7, 2011 |year=2000}} 19. ^{{cite web |last=Forsythe |first=Aaron |title=Ask Wizards – April, 2006 |url=http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/askwizards/0406 |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |accessdate=November 8, 2011 |date=April 5, 2006}} 20. ^{{cite web |title=Brian Kibler (Pro Player Card) |url=http://sales.starcitygames.com/carddisplay.php?product=39329 |publisher=StarCityGames.com |accessdate=November 8, 2011}} 21. ^{{cite web |last=Stark |first=Bill |title=Pro Tour–Austin Finals: Panic in Austin – Menagerie Breaks Loose!
