        POSTGAME THOUGHTS:

Aaron Thoughts:
"I'd have killed for a team-up this game. If 7 drop hellboy could have used his inherent stun from returning a BPRD ithink the game may have gone the other way. That said, Thunderworld is a scary consistent deck. Lee played it well. But then again, how many games do you see a guy play TWO infinity guantlets within 2 turns? haha! Super fun stuff!"

"I almost forgot completely about Ritual Sacrifice, i would not have been happy if i had lost by 1 or 2 considering how late the game had gone before i remembered to use it."
