no surprise mechathun deck
Kinda Sad that Bloodlust/Midrange Shaman aint seeing more love, its not a bad Deck tbh
Alex gettin popular again, eh? Iv noticed that in some ladder decks as well :o
muzzy bringin it home
This is such a potato stream >.<
At least the mishaps in HCT Italy were hilarious
Can't wait to see Muzzy and his Mech Pally in action. That deck looks very interesting.
Damn all 9 classes are seeing play in a tournament. Thats pretty impressive. Even though there is only 1 mage, I still find it really cool that so many decks are able to be played and laddered with to an extent.
