This is the deck with which I won both of the tournaments in which I played it: a Star City Games IQ (undefeated record, 9-0) - and the FNM the night before it (5-0 record) - late last summer, about a month before the RTR rotation. This deck is incredibly fast and has so many cheap spells that you could usually work around anything your opponent tried to do to stop you, even against Delver. Though that match-up was closer with all of the delver deck's interruption effects, correctly playing your pumps and protection spells would often out-do their spells and lead to a quick win. I am recording this here for posterity. Enjoy!
