I don't see how this statement goes against what I said.


I other news, I just Split the Top 4 at Jupiter Games's monthly Duel of Duals event. huzzah 365$ for all those involved. Probably would have normally played it out, but solo driving 4 1/2 hours each way and having to get up early curbed my desire to gnash it out to be lessened. I'll supply a tournament report in the next day or two, busy time for me, but I still have my notes.

Here's the list I ran, I'm updating my main list with it, as it feels super strong. I know I say this every time, but the current build is the strongest I've played yet. After Oblivion Stone saved me from three totally different archetypes today, two of which were different combo, I'm completely sold on it.
