Postgame Thoughts:
Aaron: When I failed to interrupt his turn 3 recruit with the Conclave, I was thinking, crap it's over i just took 4 endurance that should have been a thunderous onslaught negate instead. But the usual bonkers lifegain tricks this deck brings did the work for me. the early abjuration really paid off as it ended up being a +5 endurance net gain when i realized we were going to go into 6.
Darius: Missing slipstream on 3 really blew open the game, Not sure Aaron noticed it at the time, but i actually said "It's over" when he did that. the second one into the thunderous onslaught was backbreaking. all mid game I was just hoping to rip a Moonrider but i guess he was too busy to take my call.
