i've been playing this deck for the better part of 2 months now, and it has performed amazingly well. vroman deserves the recognition, he's been at it for a long time now. i went 4-0 with it yesterday with it during the swiss of a library tournament on saturday 7-30, but unfortunately lost in the finals to gifts/slaver. i also split in the finals of a mana drain side tournament on sunday 7-31, uba stax has game against everything in the field. i can't recommend this deck enough.
