I'll actually post the Final deck and the deck that I got a GW with in the
prelims. I'd welcome comments on both decks, although the one that won the
finals started out as more of a joke than anything else. It was gradually
improved to what it is today, but it has not gone through any rigorous
review. Nor will it, 'cause I don't want to play a good arika deck right
now.

I won the finals basically due to picking the right deck type, and my first
prey having bounce but not vote defense.
