Sorry Mike, I'm just not that into you.  Very Happy

But it does mean I shall have to come up with something momentous for the deck name challenge. Be prepared to be shocked and awed. (Or not, if you have no sense of humour)

Huge turnout with 35 players!  A great event as always, thanks Dan (and Sara for the cookie).
I ended up in 9th (doh!) with Tezzeret.  The top 8 I saw included 2 Mono R Shop decks, 1 R/U shop deck, a few Tezzeret decks (including one with Meditate and Commandeer), and at least one Oath deck.
