Only at a TSO would I play against dragon twice in 2018. Lol. Fun times had, it was good to see everyone, and especially to see some new faces come out.

Hi Nam, this is Dan, I came in 4th after the final round, just FYI...
-
@loukayza Thanks Dan. I figured you'd chime in! We were real professional with grabbing standings and such haha!
-
I was scrambling to finish building my deck right before the tournament. "I don't know what these 3 slots are supposed to be... guess I'll put in 3 spyglasses!"
more ballistae would have been much better of course.
-
Super fun event. Not far from home, and good to see @Prkchpsndwiches win his money back with a pile of trash.

Mainly chose to play it because I have wanted to try the deck but can not reasonably play it on MTGO due to time restrictions.
