 Channel Fireball Legacy 3K Top 8

 Unban Deathrite Shaman so I can play something else altogether.

What card are you most worried about playing against in the Top 8?

 Hymn to Tourach

 Day 2 some GPs

What card are you most worried about playing against in the Top 8?

 Boseiju. He says he shelters all, but mostly he just helps summon demons and Eldrazi.
