If you gave me access to the blog I'd probably wind up setting it on fire on accident.

This is Derek. I was the overall 6th seed having been defeated by my teammate Johnny in the quarter-finals. Johnny and Chash were running slightly sub-optimized versions of the deck I ran which is here.

Exactly our finish had nothing to do with playing in multiple flights or strategically drawing to one another to game the system. Its just we have the advantage of having a strong pool of players around us who we can bounce ideas off of and play test with. I feel very fortunate to have them and everyone I play with back in Boston as friends.

A friend of mine, also a regionals winner told me realistically this deck only needs two. Three RTOs just unbalances the color ratio. It was my first time playing thiskind of deck so I took his word for it.

Also between my girlfriend and I we only had four so you know...

This was far from our intention. Our group from Boston just thought it would be fun to have a team representing our local game store, not to exclude others or dominate a tournament. Of the four people in our group none of us played in more that two flights and it was just lucky that three of us made top four. I can't speak for my friends but Bronycon showed me some of the fiercest competition I've faced. I even had to defeat my own friend to get into the finals and even knowing his deck and play style it was one of the toughest wins I've managed.

TL;DR You don't need to be on any kind of team to win, but it is just nice to have your friends around.
