#cmtottawa Lapierre Laughs Last

#cmtottawa Top 8 - Fall 2012

Lapierre shows off his cooler side.

At #cmtottawa, Matt Lapierre managed to prove that you don’t need [card]Sphinx’s Revelation[/card] or [card]Thragtusk[/card] to win in this meta-game. He featured 26 main deck creatures and a whole can of whoopass. Three [card]Cavern of Souls[/card] made it hard for U/W opponents to stop the thrashing. If you’re looking an alternative that curves out really nicely, this is one tool you’ll want to keep in your Magic the Gathering back pocket.
