Hey guys, I had some requests to post this decklist after the Seattle GQ, so here it is!

The deck is a fairly support based ramp deck: Watto rakes in the cash, play supports like Entourage that make more cash, use Wat focus to make sure you get cash, ramp more. When I was playing this deck my mulligan cards I wanted were Tech Team, Smuggling Ring, and Entourage or Megablasters (one of either one only). While it's definitely possible to play multiple Entourage/Megablasters assuming those supports also give you more money (and they can each give you 2 additional resources, possibly more with Wat's PA in effect), I often wouldn't rely on being able to hit so many.

I frequently hit some pretty crazy board states even by turn 2. Removal in trilogy is pretty terrible, so for the most part you get to just ramp super hard. I played against Wat/Watto/Sentinel a couple times, and that version seemed to be very popular. I found my deck to be superior in the ramping department, having five dice to their four. While they did get access to the excellent Forsaken, in general I'd rather have an extra die; especially a really great one like Wat or Watto have.

Another note here, I think every single deck I played against was running Probe, and the low amount of events in my deck resulted in them frequently missing and being wasted. The Clawdite also was super handy, having been made a Trooper, Leader and Scoundrel at various points throughout my games. Being able to fill in the leader spot if Wat dies, or being a trooper if I get an officer on the table and nothing else, needing a die for Measure for Measure, or simply needing Riot Shield to block 3 instead of 2.

Hope you enjoy the deck, and thanks for checking it out!

That McBober spice!

Great deck, always look forward to your team's stream. Congratulations on the big finish!

What supports were you not able to get out? and What supports seemed to be weaker and not as playable?

Meaning which ones did you keep in your hand vs which ones you pitched to reroll :)

Second question, were the downgrades worth playing? This will change after the Spark drops ... were they effective for you in the event.

Pure unadulterated Wat abuse!

Frank0sis: Thanks!

Blogster: Hired Muscle is the weakest link of supports, for sure. That being said, it's still good to have in the deck because you grab it with Entourage when you know you're going to need to reroll (and you often will) and need a card to get rid of.

As for the downgrades, Wanted was super good. Every deck I went up against had a little character (Sentinel, FOST) that were pretty easy to kill, so the extra money was great. Hampered was less useful, and could probably be cut.

Did you play any Phasma/Trooper/Advanced Training decks? If so, how did you fare against that list?

Legal: I did, and fared quite well. While that deck was able to put out some decent quick damage to maybe get an early kill, I was able to overwhelm it with supports.
