Yes, I'm done. (Sorry, I assumed that since I was tapped out, that would be obvious.)

You know what? Somehow, ALL of my removal has found its way to the bottom 1/3rd of my deck in both games. And in both games, I got screwed, and you drew bombs. Not to mention that you got first access to most of the true bombs in our draft.

Let's make this quick and painless as opposed to slow and drawn-out. I concede.

Sorry it didn't work out better.

If not for the Vale, the Hammer is useless, but having both - and getting them this early in limited is nuts... and the Hunter didn't suck either.

Your next opponent will be either Azreal or Train.

Azreal just won game 1 there - and now that they are back, we'll see how it goes.

I only need to play train, Spidey only needs to play azreal after MS. MS needs to play Train & Azreal too.

Oh yeah... I'll take the Bubble Matrix, and you can have the River Boa. Don't really want either of them...
