First of all, thanks for everyone who came out to fight this hip-hop battle. We had 26 players from Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky show up to compete.
Congratulations to Mike Bolmholt who continues his amazing run with MUD in both Eternal Formats. Especially since his MUD list this time was derived from the MUD list I ran at the Vintage Champs with NULL ROD, which Nick Detwiller derided, and Precursor Golem (which is superior to and has replaced Juggernaut). Workshop Aggro has is alive and well
Also, it was great to see so many different Mirrodin Besieged cards appearing, especially the ones I identified in my set review. In this top 8 there were MANY Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, Phyrexian Revoker, Steel Sabotage, and Blightsteel Colossus, four of my top 5 cards from Mirrodin Besieged set revew. Other MB cards appeared in the field, including Relic-Warder.
