That Lantern Deck is pretty awesome
I always liked trying to transfer deck ideas into older formats (doesnt really work the other way around). Lantern seems like a very unique way of control.
-
I know Mike had a blast all day. My favorite moment was overhearing "Jester's Cap? Is that even a card? What the hell does it do?"
-
Playing against the Lantern deck was definitely interesting. Game 3 I had to break my own Standstill and I wasn't sure I was going to win it. Fortunately he only got one of my Stony Silences.
