IDEAS AND DIFFERENCES?
MAKE THE BEAST ISLAND AND CHAOS ORB COMBO PLAYABLE!
​
Well, there's basically no other (serious) dedicated Guardian Beast deck out there, so pretty much everything is different.
​
MEMORIES FROM PLAYING IT?
Yes, late rounds at Lobstercon against the great Adam Merkado, I hit a crazy hand and pretty quickly ended up flipping two orbs a turn on him. Candid as I get, I could eventually afford to flip 'em standing simultaneously, one in each hand. Wild fun! He'd agree, I think?
​​
MATCHUPS?
The Deck is a tough nut to crack, honestly. Pretty much fair game everything else and I weigh my words -- yeah, that includes Shops.

SIDEBOARD SUGGESTIONS?
It's somewhat transformative (away from the combo) and very flexible! So you do you, really.
