thank you for this article voltron00X, mystic remora really opens up a whole new angle for this deck to operate, that innovation you made with stephens deck can also be applied to other gush decks, im thinking of doing the same to the doomsday control deck that smmenen also pioneered, you can operate under remora blanket and not be in trouble of depleting your hand should an attrition war ensue.

nice top8, a quick question though, in miguel's list he has a time vault with no voltaic key, could it be that it's the missing time walk instead?

Hi TMD, i'm the guy who played the bomber list in 1st place, sorry but I really have no recollection with regards to my matches, been trying for the past 2 hours to come up with something and to no avail. My preliminary matches were against Ichorid (round1), Tezzeret (round2), ICBM Oath (round3), RG beats (round4), UWG Fish (round5) and Tezzeret (round6).

Had a record of 3-2-0 after 5 rounds with both my losses coming from RG beats and UWG fish. Fortunately, I managed to win the last round against mike herbig using tezzeret to make top8. I believe the topic starter has a play-by-play report with regards to my last match.

My top 8 matches were against Canonist Fish, BBS (Wizards) and RG beats (same guy I lost to during round 4).

Thanks and I'll try to ask the other players as well if they have reports to post in here.
