13 people played in September, and I've got a new T8 for you. I'm missing some of the decklists, but Foundry Affinity and Grapeshot Storm are well known decks. I hope I'll get to see the UR Control list though, so I can post it. Blue control decks made a strong showing this time, with two different faerie builds, the UR Control deck, and another MUC deck that finished outside the T8. Needless to say, Gijsbert and I weren't happy campers with our combo decks...

Also, this marks the first time ever I played the same deck twice at a tournament. I'm quite proud of myself and my first steps to spikehood, but constructing new decks is still what draws me to Magic the Gathering, so we'll have to wait and see if this is a fluke or the dawn of a new psychographic profile ;)
