Up to this point, the most popular article on Mana Deprived involved Doug P and myself going head-to-head against Michael J Flores, one of the greatest deckbuilders of all time. If you enjoyed that video, you are in for the same kind of treat here as I take on Flores once again, this time by myself. With important pre-M11 Standard tournaments still remaining, we decided to game with two of the more innovative decks to come out in the last week or two. Enjoy!
