Bubbled out of T64 (65th) with the broken Dialga creation. List is absolutely insane and only struggles against marnie+path and Miltank. Thanks to the group for testing leading up to the event. Every card in the list is insane!

Not sure how to fully describe my thoughts on recent Standard. For one, deck diversity was good. There have always been numerous "good" decks, but it's been a while (maybe biased) since so many decks could be considered tier 1. Etern, pika, lmz, adp, fire, mew3, urshi... 1/?

21st place at Orlando with semi-technology Mew. List ran great all weekend and Manaphy won me games against the few LBs I played. All of my losses were to Lugia though, so maybe I threw by cutting the aerodactyl

Rest In Peace Jimmy. I always enjoyed our games: unfiltered, with salty/laughing comments at absurd luck. My favorite memory is Madison regs, where I said "I topdecked a pretty good card, Jimmy!" To which he rolled his eyes, grinned, and said something like "of course you did."
