yeah that guy also boarded out the counterbalances vs you while its probably the best card in his deck in the matchup.
ben weinburg was a master though, i saw him come back from a mull to 5 w/ only a wasteland in his hand vs the guy playing some type of deed/putrify thresh deck... i guess its some team america variant.
Deeds were in the SB I believe (common for UGB CB). It looked like a relatively tame UGB Thresh deck packing both CB and Stifle/Waste in the slots most people play Spell Snares and/or more removal.
