    Well it's more Type 2 action here again.  We didn't have as large a
turnout as we had expected, but there were graduations, proms, and other such
events that pulled people away this weekend.  That disn't stop most of the
guys though.  We still had some of the ragulars from Austin and Dallas show
up.  The finals were just split between Jonathan Pechon  (counter-rebel) and
Dan Rath (blue/white control). We all agreed that a draw was for preferred to
a match that woul dhave been as intertaining as watching a turtle walk uphil
through molasses.  Ok, honestly the turtle might hav ebeen more entertaining,
but you get the picture.  Anyway, the field was decently varied, so things
stayed entertaining.  The only notable standout of the bunch was Rob Lawing
with a mono-black deck with some interesting cards.  I am going to do an
article immediately following this that covers his deck.  Unfortunately he
finished.  Not bad though for an untested deck.  Well, on to what you wanted
