Donkphan Deck List and Analysis

Donkphan Deck List and Analysis

Hey blooper here and I have been debating lately to post my Donkphan list or not… and I’ve finally got the guts to finally post it. I know people are going to copy it and use it themselves, but I really don’t care that much because people are going to end up running it anyway. I’m going to post the list and then do a brief deck analysis.

SP Toolbox FTW in Indy?: Great Lakes Tournament Report (Master's)

SP Toolbox FTW in Indy?: Great Lakes Tournament Report (Master’s)

By Nick Kowalski

Just in time for (the completion of) Spring Battle Roads! I should have finished this report much earlier, but things got in the way. Nonetheless, my analysis is still relevant and could provide insight into a lesser-played deck. So, take a break from restless Nationals testing and read my Regionals report.

Anyways my group got up at 5 [...]

Huntley, IL CC's Report

Huntley, IL CC’s Report

I figured it was only fitting that I wrote a report on the very last CC’s of the season. This one was in Huntley, IL; a small town 45 minutes west of Chicago. The turn out was phenomenal. Over 100 heads, with 64 Masters. This is what the game is all about. The tournament was run by Jimmy Ballard, (2nd place at Worlds 2008, and owner of Collect-a-Card n’ Comics in Chicago and Top Cut Comics in Rockford). The head judge was Jeremy Adams, [...]
