This deck won the North American Championship 2009, and I wanted to honor the effort to win such a tournament by playing a deck that does not features political actions to regain pool and does not use Auspex or Dominate to bounce bleeds.

Hey Ralf,
thank you for the honor of posting this deck on your site and in this particular segment. While it's a fun deck to play and quite strong once it gets going, it is also very slow and vulnerable, particularly in the build-up phase.
But the setup of the final table and decks played overall on that day fit it quite well.
I guess the biggest asset of the deck is that on the table as well as on paper it looks inconspicious (if not bad)... people actually laugh about it.
But once you have 2 master phases and a handsize of 9, a permanent rush, strength, intercept and untap it's a different story.
Note: Actually the name of the deck is : "Tam-Tam De L'Afrique"... Erol was sending the decklist while I was taking a shower and made the name up because i didn't hear him asking...
