Name: Philip Böhm
Age: 19
Record: 5-0-2
What you played and why: I played my Death Cloud deck from old 05
' Standard format with several minor changes. I always loved the deck and I thought it might do better than my alternative deck-plan (some combodeck)
Favorite Format: Legacy. It has many options and you can play almost all cards, without all decks looking the same way. Also, there'
s always potential to discover more combos, better control decks or faster aggro decks.
Who you'd like to meet in the league: I'
d like to meet Linkman, now DCI lvl 2 judge, k_buriag, who unfortunately left m-l
for some time now (rl), Gfo and several others. I can't name them all now, that'd take too much
space
What do you think your chances are in the top8: TurboCloud has almost no
bad matchups, however also has no really unloseabl

thedarkness-
Name: Dylan Peizer-Oppenheim
[1Age: 18
Record: 5-0-2
What you played and why: Jugan Blue, because it borders on aggro control, which is the only non-combo deck that I can play without getting bored, and I know how to play it well.
Favorite Format: Legacy or Extended, depending on my mood.
Who you'd like to meet in the league: cmc (because he's nuts), Eliminator (because he pwns), kendiggy (because he's local), Y (because he's smrt), and many others too
What do you think your chances are in the top 8: I think I have a pretty good shot. Doran Rock is the only semi-aggro deck I'm seeing, and it's a good matchup specifically. Jugan Blue screws over Baseruption maybe 80% of the time or more, and my quarterfinals matchup seems good.
Ronnan-
He must have felt that life was more important than a master top8, and went afk
