        POSTGAME THOUGHTS


JS Thoughts:
"With the solid board control I never had a good opportunity to use my recovery tricks at all. Losing Dark Beast hurt me bad. as i was counting on the follow-up card draw to net me 3 more cards that turn."

Aaron Thoughts:
"Lilith ends the game on turn 6 at 14/13. Not much can compete with that kind of hidden beater while curving out normally with other characters on the side. With its really substantial board control. This deck just rocks!"
