This deck and reading about Bertrand Lestree's early U/W control decks in Duelist made me fall in love with Serra Angel oh so long ago.  Memories.

Ah yes...I remember when Strip Mine wasn't restricted. Good times.

Personally I think the best deck of its time was the ErnhamGeddon deck that lost in the first Worlds. Sounds funny huh. That deck was amazing. I still can't gather how it lost.

Didn't his deck run Balance?
