"There are no fingerprints deep under water. Nothing to tie one to a crime."

With Thanks

I would like to offer the biggest thanks possible to LabManiac_Sigi for his work on BUGW Combo. Sigi and I go back almost a couple of years at this point. When Protean Hulk was unbanned in commander all new brew ideas begun circulating, which allowed Sigi and I to brew the very successful variant of this list: Walking Ball | Thrasios Ballista. I have been out of the scene for a good three to four months, and during my absense Sigi has taken the list totally above and beyond. You can find Sigi's up-to-date version of this list on his profile page or here: Breakfast Hulk.
