Ah yeah. Here it is. This is the deck I most commonly played in tournaments at the height of the Grand Forks competitive Magic scene in my first year of college. I don't recall ever winning a tourney with this deck, but it did okay against top competition.

Sadly, this is a watered-down version of the deck. The Abandon Hope used to be a Mind Twist before I sold it. The most glaring deficiency of this version is the lack of creatures. It used to have 4x Hypnotic Specter, but I moved my only playset of them to the Zur's Weirding deck, which I coincidentally just posted about recently. I really should move the Specters back to this deck.

Jokulhaups was my favorite card for a long time...maybe still is.

My brother and I had a catchy phrase for when we were the first to use an awesome card in the GF scene: "Pioneered it." To boost our egos occasionally, we still remind each other of the cards we pioneered.

Pyrokinesis? Pioneered it.
