Steve Wright is thus not only the tallest Jyhad player in England but the champion of Portsmouth, at least until our next run-in which will probably occur in about 6 weeks' time [date uncertain because we want to avoid clashing with world cup matches]. Well done Steve! Not bad for someone who got Nul Points in Praxis Seizure: Isle of Wight! Here is his winning deck: Interestingly, Steve's deck is almost a 4CL affair... and clearly could be made 4CL by the simple expedient of replacing one of the WWEFs with another Second Tradition. It worked essentially because whenever people tried things against it Steve had a counter. Example: I tried a cross-table Bum's rush. He Direct-Intervention'd it.
