Even so, it held up well. Lots of cool, permanent resources, and a nice assortment of previously proven cards. Nothing ground-breaking here. We already knew that the Erciyes Fragment is good; add the fact that Beefcake can play many of the most popular tournament skills, and it gets really strong. I think this is my first tournament winning deck to use dominate. It took several showers before I felt clean following this win :) Jay
