are those all legacy?

Hahaha, wow, those are some memories. ;P I thought Kohl's tira deck ran Improvised Weapon Attack, by the way? But yeah, i'm lollin at that attack lineup, things were so different back then, I kinda miss it

Improvised Weapon Attack wasn't out then. Gencon 06 was held when only the first two sets were released.

Ah, right, it was the earlier build

I remember RhodiumBoy saying that he didn't even know You Will Not Escape existed before he played in Worlds, and that he was an utter n00b and got 2nd place

Now here's something I remember from my era of playing. : )

Oh and by the way. Potatoes.

Geeze Matt Kohls wasn't kidding about his attack base lol...

So...much...Void...

God I hated playing that. Until SNK hit. Sweet Hanzo, how I miss you.
