Exiles win!


Thoughts:

Lee - I felt like I just couldn't get the kind of tempo I needed and then Exiles did what exiles do on turn 5.

JS - The bodyslides are great but I'm not sold on using Cable, Secret Avenger instead of Cab;e, Nathan Summers perhaps it really carries itself into control matchups? that extra 7 would have been a nice round -50 haha.
