Three facts about me: First, I'm a casual multiplayer enthusiast. Be it 2HG, 3HG, Attack Left/Right, Commander, Archenemy, Free-for-All, Star, Hidden Alliances, Planechase, Chaos Stack etc. - I love them all! Second, I really like building new decks or helping others build or improve theirs. And then I get disappointed if they don't work as intended - in their very first game... Meh. Third, uhm, no idea? Fourth, I'm not that good at lists.
