Yeah! Joe Tanner! Way to go!

I'm sure you other guys are cool too.

Sounds like it was a great event. I hope more stuff starts happening out that way.

Jeff Warwick, i would like to discuss some of the card choices you made for your deck and maybe also some strategy of the deck

Why only 1 Dark Depths? is it because it can't make mana?

Why did you choose to play also the kuldotha forgemaster combo in the deck together with the land combo?
Did you also consider metalworker or was this an attempt to make it more into an aggro shop deck?

Did you find it a particular problem playing expedition map and chalice of the void together?

Only 1 Crucible of Worlds seems a little vague considering the Map's. Did you miss more?

I'm asking these questions, because i'm building a similar deck atm. and would appreciate any feedback of your experience
