Announcing!

New Duel Deck: Caw Blade vs Caw Blade!

It's no secret that I was incredibly fond of the Caw Blade mirror. I would still like to play it today, and my experience at the Star City Games Legacy Open playing UW Stoneblade reminded me that I wanted to build two versions of the deck and carry them around.

The decks are still quite pricey (thank you, Jace the Mind Sculptor!), so the plan is print out proxies to use. I didn't want the decks to be identical, so I scoured the internet for the two bests lists I could find from the pre-banning Standard. Which side will you choose? If you want to play, find me at a future event and challenge me!
