Overall, there aren’t a lot of trends. Dark decks are easily the favorite, but they still only took 12 of 40 potential slots in Top 8 cuts throughout this year.

Both decks fit…

Humble Beginnings and Onward to Flashfire “This season started off with my college graduation over last summer. I received my bachelor’s degree in computer science from UNC Charlotte in July, and was fortunate enough to be offered a job opportunity in Greenville, SC shortly after. The icing on the cake was that I was now literally right down the road from two of my best friends, Kyle and Ryan Sabelhaus.
