Title: Salmon Hall of Fame!
Post by: STAMP on June 04, 2012, 01:07:24 PM: Salmon swim upstream against the current. In Redemption, this translates to succeeding with anti-establishment decks. My first two nominees are TimMierz, for making hand-discard a Nats winning deck, and more recently, megamanlan, for winning MN State with an unconventional deck. Bravo!! :)

I know there are others, so everyone help out. My memory isn't so good. ;)

Wraith used a Disciples deck for a few games though…

Almost. Jacob was in there too.

He gets Angel's Sword and Wheel Within a Wheel on OT Mike, flips up Covenant with Death, and starts walking in for freebies. He did it to me in a ROOT game.

Deep down inside you know you want to take on a NT Blue offense and an Obsidian Minion defense.
