Heh. Fun times.
At that time I was down on Velen not being good enough because we were missing a card or two as we 'needed' some cards to not just lose to random stuff, and we didn't get the mental blocks off until seeing Corle's list. We then just jettisoned the dead weight and it paid off. But it was basically my back up band already if I couldn't figure out the Jaina mirror (or, I guess, if I flubbed the Constructed qualifiers 1-2 playing against random jank... not that I'm bitter or anything :P).
This map is still ludicrous though. I hate it with a passion unequaled in all Creation.
