First 2 Decklists are online
Tier 1 Archetype "5C Aggro", probably the most successful deck of the last GP

Goblinpiledriver played an updated version of his 5C Alara Aggro Deck, which already saved him the title of GP VIII
Alban Lauter played an older version of goblinpiledriver's deck with just a few minor changes.

Both decks already met in Semifinals, otherwise we could have had a mirror-match final.

RDW Decklist is online now
http://mtgpulse.com/event/4985#66036

Konstantin Lorenz (1st) played exactly the same list as Claus Diefenbach (14th) who made Top 8 in the last GP with RDW too.

Konstantin won the finals 2:1. While he lost the first game he would have been defeated in g2 if Goblinpiledriver activates his Aether Vial eot for Aven Mimeomancer. But that's the point. Goblinpiledriver has forgotten to do this, then in his upkeep - when he was removing a counter of Tangle Wire he suddenly recognized his blunder - but it was obv. too late, so he lost g2. In g3 piledriver had a decent start but Smash to Smithereens which destroyed his Sword of Feast and Famine which could have equiped to Thrun and a strong finish of Konstantin were crossing piledrivers plans to get his second title back-to-back.

sidenote

Konstantin's deck is definatly the cheapeast deck in T8, worth not even 150 USD (rated by mtgpulse, regular cards, no foils), while Piledriver's and Alban Lauter's Deck both worth bout 1450 USD each (probably more, because of foils and BB cards). That's the proof you don't need any Duals, Workshop and expensive cards to win the biggest HL Event you can imagine  ;)

Tabris added Sven Fischer's Bant (3rd) and Christian Grosmayer's RG Beats (8th)

Sad but true:
Grosmayer's deck has been stolen right before T8 has started  >:(
It could have been a hard way for Konstantin's RDW to pass the RG beaters - we will never know.

The question we have to ask is...where are the control decks in this T16 ?

I've added the UB reanimator list of Gunnar Geißler who reached 9th place. He missed Top 8 because of worst opp-score of the 7 guys with 19 pts in the end.
