    Enjoyed the report; congrats again!
    The deck (literally, the cards) looks pretty sweet - link to the pimp thread post for those who haven't seen it

    Misdirect Bolt to TNN! Brilliant. It almost makes me wish I played Blue.

    Great report and well done.

    Congrats on the win! Nice report with a cool deck.

    You made it sound in your report that the ANT matchup is bad. I'm surprised; why is that?
    Languages and dates for every set. For all you true pimps.

    ANT is much faster and four FoWs isn't enough disruption.

    Thanks, dude!

    Yup, as Davelin said, AnT is so fast and maindeck we only have 4 FoW to really deal with it (Misdirection sadly sucks against them). That was part of the reason why I played the Dimir Charm in that Emrakul slot - to help a little more with the combo matchup yet maintaining some flexibility (as a removal spell) for a maindeck card.

    Congratulations! I've always thought this deck was pretty awesome, and the addition of Genesis Hydra is super cool.

    I hadn't realized you could misdirect something to an opponent's TNN. That's a brilliant play.

    Congrats dude! Lovers of janky combo unite!
    I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

    Yes...!

    With this deck, you also get to flap your arms and make Ca-Cawing noises at people too! (Although I'd only recommend doing it only to friends as some opponents may get salty that you're beating them down with Phantom Monsters)

    Nice. Playing Genesis Hydra in non-99 cards deck, and winning with Phantom Monsters... that's what I call style.
