Hi There! In this week's Back in't'Day, Rob talks about GP Vancouver, where Cheon took his formerly-known-as-next-level blue deck all the way to the victory. This gives Matt a chance to reminisce over possibly his favourite format ever: Extended, circa 2008. Back in't'day: http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/cheon-conquers-canada Because it's the second round of RPTQs this weekend, we take the chance to actually talk some strategy. We go over the best decks in the format and what we're thinking of playing ourselves. The Trash to Treasure is a card that Matt really advocates, and Neil's Rigtionary gives you a rare two-for-one treat: barn and hull.
