        POSTGAME THOUGHTS:

Aaron Thoughts:
"a Kang build with no search... not the direction i'd have taken this, but i really did like the WTF moment when I blew up everything for a huge solo Kang. I'd have liked to have actually curved out instead of playing a crapton of 5 drops."

Steph Thoughts:
"It is always fun beating the living crap out of my husband. At the end of turn 5 I was beginning to think this would be a bit of a one-sided matchup. But the defensive tricks carried the late game for me. Holly stopping four consecutive attacks was awesome!"
