What a Month – Winning PT: Seattle, Dutch Nats, and the Best Deck in Type Two

This stung a lot, so I was set on posting a very good result at the next tournament. Too bad for all the other Dutchies, the next tournament was Dutch Nationals. I had two weeks to test for it after I got back from Seattle, so I started as soon as possible. Testing didn’t quite go as well as I had hoped, so in order to find a good deck, all I had to do was talk to the Master.
