Bryce, if I were you, I'd be somewhat pissed and indignant right now.  A lot of people read these articles.

Crap, I didn't imply TMDers read these, did I?

Anyway, I basically clicked because I had the feeling kl0wn got cheated of his ideas again.  I was right.

So Lam's topdeck skills don't really transfer from real life to Apprentice... Interesting

Ah, so I can claim to be the Lam killer. He hasn't beaten me in a tournament in ages. Not since the days I was playing Fish. His top deck skills are legendary - top decks an StP with only land in his hand to stop my Dragon - but i still won the match. His brother is as good at top decking as he is.
My bane is Dicemanx - I cannot beat Peter and also Sean.
On to the article - what goes around comes around.

Well, they weren't really my ideas, especially in the deck that was being featured in the article (baaaad...so baaad...). Most of the ingenius single cards and testing with the deck came from people like Gabe The Babe and Queeqeg (although I like to think that I tested it quite a bit). I mainly made a cake with their ingredients.

Either way, I had decided to not say anything since I figure it wouldn't matter. I've already said my piece about the situation and who gets the credit for the deck is all up to the community anyway. I really don't care anymore (okay, I do care, I just don't feel like wasting my time screaming bloody murder about the whole deal).

I just felt obligated to point out the "unknowns" who made the deck what it is today.

It was actually 7. Lam ended up doing most the pwning.
