Round 1 was against Owen Turtenwald playing GWR. Both games I mulled to five on the play and he played Wooly Thoctar turn 3 in one of them. This is obviously going to happen but the rest of the match was totally uncalled for. He spent the entire time trash-talking acting like he was the best Magic player alive. Personally I think this is extremely unclassy.

See you guys on Monday…
