[EchoChris93]

Loving how Wizards care enough to put the right name under their host at the start... @ 00:51

Just saying .... this is block constructed... you CAN'T use wurmcoil.

[Caedon Howell]

"Gisela, Hero of Goldnight" (checks card) "Hey I got it right!"

LOLOLOL.

[blackem9o]

Yeah Kens verient got to top 8 Lol

[Marcel Pereira]

Because, again, this is INNISTRAD BLOCK CONSTRUCTED. Wurmcoil Engine, sadly, would not be available to use, so he had to take out some targets. Do you see Elesh Norn, Jin-Gitaxis, etc.? This is a variant of the Frites deck JUST for Innistrad Block Constructed, and suited to his liking and the consistency he desires. While he didn't make Top 8, a deck with the same idea as this one made Top 8, so it isn't terrible in block. (I think it was Ken Yukuhiro's??)

also use Druids' Repository for a little more help in casing it sooner
