Pillars Are Dumb

This is the absolute best way to describe the field on Saturday.

Also, hooray.  In the Goofus and Gallant of decklists, I am Gallant!

I wish I could have been there to see all the Mayor of Avabruck decks doing so well but I couldn't change my schedule.  Congrats to Calvin, the people playing Mayors, and the rest of the T8 for a great showing.  Also, congrats on a very high turnout event.  I will try to make it in July.

[psyburat]

My condolences to Tobi, who actually took the time to read and type up the handwritten decklist.

[mmcgeach]

To the Strix-Planeswalker pilots: How was Ral Zarek vs. Tezz 2.0 or Tezz 1.0?

Also, really intriguing list.  Am I'm counting correctly it's 61 cards?

and grats on your top 4/8 performances. 

[UnderachievementNexus]

It honesty depends what you are playing against. Ral shines on a cluttered board or as a second expensive key. However on an empty board he does just about nothing unlike either other Tezzeret. Big Tezz is a solid combo card but the agent is what drives the deck.  He digs for cards (hopefully strix) or he threatens to take down opposing planes walkers with a single activation. Ral has since been cut for a third agent. Unfortunately our red friend is sweet as opposed to integral to the decks success

What Mark said. Yes, 61 cards bc BOD guys are weird. Sanity is not a handicap we enjoy.
