Teodi and I both have been playing Horde rush decks for some time so we decided to just bring the decks we knew best and play it fast and loose come tournament day.

Teodi brought his Omedus the Punisher deck with Shadowfiend and I brought my Gorebelly combo deck. Omedus rush is one of the fastest around. If left unchecked, it can overwhelm an opponent very very quickly. Mine was no slouch either with the potential to deal 20+ damage on one turn if the combo hits. It also won the previous weekend's tourney so it had a bit of a momentum going for it.

The preliminary rounds went well enough and we didn't suffer a single loss. However, during the final round, I made a crucial mistake which basically cost us the game.
