Tapio: Viha ja ravio metsän sydämestä

Randyman writing! I also came home from the Swedish ECQ yesterday, with the same train as Ashur even :-P. But unlike him I’m not gonna write about the event but rather about the deck I played and have done the last month or so.

After a great deal of research I found the name for the deck. I got good help from Tom, Niina, and Marko.

Tapio: Viha ja ravio metsän sydämestä

Tapio is the name of my Finnish boss at a job I work at. And when I asked him to translate the rest of the sentence he just said, well thats me! Viha ja ravio metsän sydämestä means hatred and wrath from the deep forests. A fitting name for a good but hard boss!

Anders Löf originated the idea of using an abundant amount of Pentex(TM) Subversion for fast pentex on predator and then using them for rushes. It was from what I had seen him play I made my version that differs quite a lot.

Here it goes. And the latest version after a month of tweeking and two tournaments

The deck is fun but hard to play, every decision is important as is every action is also. But that is what you get when not running dominate :-P

If you want to try it do it and you can also do a more girlish version with Nana and ashur tablets, the way Anders runs it, but then I recommend to cut a lot of reactions.
