Thanks! :D

I was really excited to do so well. Top 10 is really good at Nats, let alone top 5! (especially having won at that table with Tim, Martin, and Justin which I was almost entirely convinced I would lose terribly at, lol)

You were actually 1 soul from a very close 2nd  ;)
This deck was great and it was too bad that I never got to see your defense.

Indeed. :P
Our game might have gone quite differently if I had drawn into more of it. I might have been able to squeeze my 5th before you. ;)

I was also extremely lucky to go around 2 rounds without Guardian at 4 souls. That game should have ended quite differently.

Awesome job Scott! Glad I could help make your deck work for you :)
Thanks a bunch! Your suggestions were invaluable at several points during the rounds. ^_^

Congrats man! but when they were announcing the 5th and 4th place, they said we both had 10 pts and 20 ls differential i think.. wouldn't that make us tied for 4th place?

I checked the Covenant Games site and it said that I was in 4th, but I don't know if that takes into account ties or not. Also, does head-to-head affect anything in multiplayer? Cuz that could explain it, too.

I'm happy to share 4th with you if that's what the case is. :D

head to head is the first tiebreaker. not sure if that is the same for multi, however.

Well done with your 4th place and winning the toughest table you played!

If you want some constructive criticism read the text below. If you don't that's OK too. :)

Cut the right 6 cards from your deck and you most likely rescue a couple more souls, placing 3rd or even 2nd.

Heh, if I knew what cards to cut I would have cut them prior to Saturday's play. Any chance you could give me some hints? ;)

Just cut the defense and you'd be good.

In 2P definitely, but I'd be willing to bet he modified his 2P deck a bit to be more offense-weighted.

You could take out seven sons. Other than that... idk.

He cut his normal 56 down to 50 and (don't quote) it seemed a little more aggressive.
