Freeman started with a 13-0 streak in best-of-threes, then sailed into that #157 slot a mere 24 hours later.
As Tokyo Gary said: hit that top 250 for arena qualifier, crush it, and get a pro tour invite!
But wait! There’s more!
Because Mike Long just purchased some Nature’s Rhythms and a Holo Hoof in celebration. That Japanese Holo Hoof can be seen below as a picture from our Magic Secrets whatsapp:
And Mike just went 12-2 with this very same deck and made Diamond, then Diamond 3!

And we’re still not done!
Because much of this deck reminds me of our Shuffle framework!
In non-land spells, we have the Pollinators and Elves thanks to Smitty, Dan, and Mike. We have our beloved Badgermole Cubs and our Mr Greens. We have some Quandrix Charms. We added those into our Shuffle framework when they came out. Matter of fact, Mike was highlighting that spell and planning on that spell before it came out. And then we have one of Smitty’s favorite spells: Craterhoof Behemoth!
