Tommi Hakomaa’s tournament winning deck: “H AE VE N _ 13” by gotcha
“All credit for the deck to my friend Bram, who is the mastermind behind this deck. It was a great pity that you didn't get to play in EC yourself. I didn't know how to describe the deck so I asked Bram for comments on this. His words of wisdom were "Bang Bang! Don´t try this at home."”
