Notes

http://www.mtgdecks.net/decks/view/57301
Played by Jan Erik Haefiker. Top4 in Legacy Kaiserslautern (Aug-2013)

Thinking about dropping 1 Stoneforge Mystic and replacing it with a Restoration Angel (beats flipped Delver, can blink every ETB creature in the deck, surprise, also a win con).

Sideboard changes:
- 2 Surgical Extaction
+ 2 Rest in Peace (RIP handles punishing fire/rug thresh/dredge better)
