++ Team aYb - all your base (are belong to us) ++
I beat Lukas 2-0. In Game 1 he plays bad, in Game 2 he draws bad.
Tao beat me 2-0 ... I didn't stand a chance. Awesome deck, man. :)
Edit: Yeah... I made the worst mistake ever in game 1. Maybe I shouldn't have been drinking all these cocktails yesterday. ;)

I beat Roopey 2-1 in some really nice games.

I've always wondered why no one put these two together in a Rec Sur deck. I did it back when Kamigawa first came out, and it was hella fun. Not particularly good (I just played a WB Reanimator) but fun, and good enough to win a few weeks in a row at the local tournament. How has it been for you Tao?
Why no Great Whale?
Congrats Tao!
Now playing real formats.
