Brandon Haas's tournament winning deck

Deck name: Shadowplay
Deck description: For a long time I had written off Murmur of the False Will as being inferior to Deflection. In this deck it really shines, especially when you are down to the endgame or aren't being bled. It is very important to be able to oust by bleeding if you can't pass votes and this deck is built for that purpose. Tournament write-up to appear on by blog soon: brandonsantacruz.blogspot.com/
