Thoughts:


Aaron - Had i pulled a second trisk on 7 instead of 8 i would have won on 7. but this matchup is always a balst for me to play. I really enjoyed it, and if i'm being honest... even if ultimates HAD won next round it faces an autoloss. playing the winner between quickfate and Highest Voltage. so I can't feel bad about this result.


Mark - Wait This deck plays WHO next round? Oh shit.
