http://www.themanadrain.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14998For the second time in a row, a G/R Beatdown deck combining Odyssey and Weatherlight has won. Last time, these two sets were teamed with Planeshift, this time with Stronghold. The G/R deck defeated the Saga/Homelands/Destiny Suicide Black deck in the finals, 3-1. This after Odyssey/Stronghold/Weatherlight had pulled a rabbit out of its hat in the first round (a comeback from 0-2 down against Invasion/Planeshift/Judgment) and scored a brutal 3-0 upset over Tempest/Nemesis/Alliances in the semifinals.
