Why is this man smiling? You would be too if you had just gone 12-4 in a 450+ person Pro Tour. Rashad Miller — of Spirit Stompy fame from GP Philadelphia — usually judges at Pro Tours and is the regular Top 8 spotter for the Sunday webcasts. He is likely mere tiebreakers away from causing the tournament staff to scramble for a replacement spotter. 36 points was good enough for Top 8 even if his tiebreakers were not. (Luis Scott-Vargas squeaked into the last spot for Sunday.)

While we were talking about his tournament — playing the Demigod Stompy aka All-in Red deck — Rashad shared his favorite play from the event.

He looked at his opening hand — on the draw — and saw that he could make a turn one Demigod with one card left over. That one card? Another Demigod.

Greed is good amiright? Rashad passed his first turn with no play and moved to discard the redundant demon.

“Oh fudge,” said his opponent (except what he said wasn’t fudge).

A turn later he was being attacked by 10 points of Demigod.

“He tasted it,” grinned Rashad.
