Big shoutout to @A22en for negotiating a prize restructure to get me the dream hack invite to Anaheim. Really cool splitting finals with a player that I feel has played a huge role in my growth as a player. Also Really cool being in a top 8 with @Rizzy5S whom I can say same for

@Mengu09 makes a pretty sick deck as it turns out. I did like the murktides today and the 4th bolt but will have to try shredder in the future. Got the prelim 4-0, questing druid felt really really strong.

Despite @CrisSmithMTG trolling with a nonsense card being added to the deck we still got the 5-0. Questing Druid such a messed up card. Dino 5-0 accomplished!

Got the 3-1 in the prelim with naya adventures. Deck seems to have some real potential. Virtue was likely nonsense and would just play more Rabbits and showdowns and then likely have a sb jeggy
