Matthew Green won, with a quite EXTRAORDINARY toolbox Malky deck, including [blush, simper] Out-of-turn Rush/aggravated damage/Rötschreck combat. He only had 5.5VP to get to the final but he engineered this quite BRILLIANTLY, ensuring, for example, in the third heat that none of the other players was going to get more VP than him, and that the biggest threats to him were stymied. He then played a total blinder in the final, starting off slow, blocking or voting down [with my help] Rob's votes, helping me to bring Rob down to 1 pool and then using a Madness Network Dramatic Upheaval to swap places with me, so that he could bleed out Rob and then, via a Deflection, me. A really AMAZING performance and one for the aficionados. Well done, Matt! All the finalists got AH boosters - thanks, John! Here's matthew's winning deck, with his comments. "The deck could stand some improvement, it was the first time it had seen competitive play. The Bum's Rushes were pretty bad, another hunter would have been better. The Legendary Vampire was great as were the My E's-E's. Telepathic Vote Counting should be something different and the deck should have Sudden Reversals and maybe a DI. Tribute to the Master effectively kept Rob T in the game during round 1, I had no way to deal with it. Masters in this deck are at a premium really and adding still more OOT cards may be a bad idea. I'll try it and see."
