        POSTGAME THOUGHTS:

Aaron Thoughts:
"The entire game I kept thinking, -I wish i had a force field projection- That said, I really enjoyed the fantasticar abuse and the decision to run triple kaboom and Foiled was actually pretty snazzy."

JS Thoughts:
"Considering with the death of my team-up, the entire late game was me ignoring all my Villians United underdrops to keep combat as simple as i could make it. I'm impressed how versatile this build is. considering I never really -went off- like I know this deck can."
