Guay has her own card reference, so I can't imagine leaving her out.

Not gonna lie, when I first saw it on Facebook, I thought you had actually carved a Jack-o-lantern into it, as a form of some kind of pumpkin-inception 😅😂

Thank you!

Thank you!

While #Lobstercon is always an amazing time, this year had an unexpected surprise. After working on my own take on GW Enchantress over the last two months, I managed to take it all the way to top 8. Furthermore my version, in the hands of Rich Shay, took down the finals and took home the trophy.

LOBSTERCON ATTENDEES : I have been sending emails regarding the event and actions for you to take. If you haven't been receiving them, check your spam/junk before letting me know.

#Lobstercon this year is more up in the air than any other I've been to for trying to decide what deck to play. Stasis is one of my serious contenders as I feel it's well positioned; biggest downside however, is that I haven't played a single game of it yet 😂

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
