Final Thoughts

I personally enjoyed seeing the deck-building prowess on display with these individuals. They were able to take some interesting concepts from their head to the table to an event and succeed at a high level. Hopefully, we see an evolution of some decks as the meta gets shaken up with a future DBS update.
