Wow. The guy who won this deck had some sick tech to combat pretty much everything. Elvish Hexhunter for Bitterblossom. Pull from Eternity in the board. And the synergy of Swans of Bryn Agroll with lightning axe and firespout and sulfurous blast is so much better than what Patrick Chapin came up with.

Chaplins list was awful, lol when arn't they? he robs his ideas from M-L neways. He figures International Secrets that americans don't read seem good to take credit for just like most writters. That list is good its pretty much exactly the same as i posted on MTGsalv.

chapin doesnt post his real lists when hes testing for a pt. giving away his list for a gp or regionals is one thing but a pt why give away your secret tech. i still dont think swans is very good although that is a decent list. and most people steal their lists from ml and dont say where they get them from.
