Some of the action during the day:
 |
| First turn Serra with a lotus. Nice! |

| Oh yes, this format has THAT card.. Moxen are just a little les awesome in Ancient. |

| Sometimes, life just isn't fair.. al that against just one lonely plateauu.. |
 |
| Well, that's an unusual use of a control magic :) |
 |
| Monkey, May I? deck (which eventually won the day) against black pox |
Some of the other plays of the day:
In the end, the winning deck was the classic monkey, may I deck which was somewhat succesful in the 1996 era for a short time. Usually we don't publish full decklists here to keep some of the mystery, but since this deck can be found on the net with a little effort, here's the decklist:

| Mario Robaina's Monkey May I deck, version as played by Bjorn in this Ancient |
There is something to be said for this deck in Oldschool too, but then it would miss what I experienced are pretty key cards: the merchant scrolls. I've used them for the Ancestral Recall mostly, of course, but also to get the mana drain or a psionic blast at some moments where I really needed them. I really think this deck would me much less effective without them.
