A special look at a deck tech that we normally only do on the youtube channel.  This episode has Alex breaking down his recent Rey Security Complex deck that he brought to a store show down.

 

It is neat and has the ability to sneak up on unsuspecting players.  Check out our deck and let us know what you think.
