i thought this deck was quite the saucy number. note the late incinerates and spined wurms.

'split' the finals on an offer from opponent. didn't really want to, but it's like 5 am. up to 1744.

p1 - in retrospect, hill giant would've been the best card but there's no way i would've taken it p1

p2 - spitting earth, but see p1

p3 - i didn't even notice persuasion, so i might've taken that. chose incinerate over terror, cause i think red's a little deeper.

p4 - debated the mantis engine, but i think the runner's really strong when played early. would've taken the mantis engine if i had taken persuasion p3

p16 - would've went with firefiend if fanatic wasn't worth almost 2 tix; it wheeled anyway so good.

p31 - thank god for third pack fat

p32 - already have a runner and really like playing urge but a bracered wurm or runner are brutal.

p33 - mo fat

p34 - drake's kinda late here. in retrospect i'm glad i got out of blue because it kinda dried up a little and green started pouring.

p35 - droppin bombs. also? see p33

p36 - another drake?

p40 - bonus

this deck went well and played awesomely. still regretting not playing the final round out. i think that staying with blue wouldn't have been disastrous, but i would've been conflicted between g and r (even though i have no luck running ug).
