Something personal came up for me, I won't be able to make it. Wish I could bring the Pointy Eared Men and Women, but... hope So Cal can represent anyway.

Some obnoxious combo deck that the commentators will have no idea what to say about and will recommend strange moves like boarding in a wishboard Tendrils.

Adrian Sullivan was the one who recommended the brilliant Tendrils sideboarding advice.

That being said, there aren't enough words to describe just how awesome PSully is, so I won't even bother.
