While #Lobstercon is always an amazing time, this year had an unexpected surprise. After working on my own take on GW Enchantress over the last two months, I managed to take it all the way to top 8. Furthermore my version, in the hands of Rich Shay, took down the finals and took home the trophy.

#Lobstercon this year is more up in the air than any other I've been to for trying to decide what deck to play. Stasis is one of my serious contenders as I feel it's well positioned; biggest downside however, is that I haven't played a single game of it yet 😂

Scientists first collected a pig butt worm from the dark ocean depths near Monterey, California. The size of marbles, pigbutts are a near complete mystery. Officially described in 2007, scientists aren’t even sure if the pigbutt form is an adult, or just a very very awkward adolescent stage.
