This is going to be a great card I can feel it. Kind of wish Rogan could be there because I like how excited he gets, but Florian will do.

Yeah, Rogan will be missed.  Florian isn't bad though.

Haha I've always had Okami! Two rules go into play there: 1. I never pick Silva and 2. I always pick Okami :)

I need a Nog win or a Shogun win. If they both lose I'm not going to be a happy camper.
