In this episode, I’m Brad Rutherford, local Seattle Judge and skilled pilot of the modern deck Abzan Company. Brad not only won a Star City Games 5k with it, he won the admiration of Magic players around the world with this fun and challenging deck.

Brad has played in over 1000 sanctioned games of Magic, and has logged over 400 with Abzan Company with a 70% win rate.

When Brad’s not crushing newbs like met at local events, he’s judging as an L2.

Brad cares deeply about the community and contributes in every way he can.

Whenever I’ve seen Brad judging at GP or a PPTQ, he’s giving it his all.

I hope you enjoy my snack time deck tech with Brad Rutherford!

You may or may not have heard, but last weekend premier Magic cosplayer Christine Sprankle made a video asking the community for help.

I auctioned off a NM Force of Will from Alliances that I’ve been saving to benefit her. We raised $100!

I want to thank the winning bidder, Michelle for your amazing generosity. The Force of Will has been meticulously packed by yours truly and is on your way in the mail.

Also shout out to Joakim (yo-ah-kim) and Xemit Sells Magic for also bidding.

A big thank you to everyone that helped boost the signal with their likes, shares and retweets of the auction.

If you’re a fan of Christine, listen to my interview with her back in season 1, episode 2.

I was and still am very honored that she allowed me to interview her for the show.
