[Yare]

Thanks for posting the lists so quickly.

No Trinisphere in Trogdon's list?!

[Smmenen]

I'm pretty sure that was my mistake

EDIT:

I just looked at his list and there is no Trinisphere listed.  I don't know if that is a mistake or not.

EDIT2: I think Mark did not have Trinisphere.  Wow.

[SyntheticAngel]

Yo Steve,
       How did the Empty work out in your list? That kind of intrigues me. Would you recommend leaving it in GAT?\

Brennen

[Troy_Costisick]

Heya Steve,

How do you think adding Psychatog or Tarmogoyf to your list would have changed things for you?

Peace,

-Troy

[Yare]

EDIT2: I think Mark did not have Trinisphere.  Wow.

I demand an explanation for this "tech", Mark.

[TopSecret]

I'm obviously not Mark, but running 8 Spheres may make playing Trinisphere not worth it,
since making cards cost at least three doesn't do much when you already have 2-3 Spheres in play.

Could this mean the unrestriction of Trinisphere?!?!
