Thoughts:

JS - God Damned Political Pressure! I forget how good that card is against decks that underdrop so much like this. And that mark II just put the team on its back and was like "I got this fellas".

Aaron - I always love playing JS but This Sentinel deck is pure underdog awesomeness. That 12 endurance i paid for political pressure was the greatest thing ever. Just looking at his face turn red as he wonders, "will he pay AGAIN?" priceless.
