Like Ben and MaGo, Chris has really embraced the "Evil Twin" theme. There were several good bits, but this Boy, Rage Reflection does some incredible things with Abandoned Outpost. If you can somehow turn it into a creature, it'll get double strike! Rage Reflection is also fantastic with Abandon Hope. Just add some creature that cares about making your opponent discard, and it'll get pumped up and gain double strike! Wait until I tell you about the next Rage Reflection combo! Turn five, Abbey Gargoyles. Turn six, double-striking Abbey Gargoyles! I don't even want to get into the Abbey Matron, About Face, and Rage Reflection combo. It's just too awesome!
That just killed me.

Indeed, the best Evil Twin so far, and I doubt it'll be topped.

I cracked up when I realized what Evil Chris Millar was doing here. :D
Also I like the deck names, with the non-"Reflection" word of each enchantment, especially "Mana Rage" and "Boon Wound."

I found this a bit too hectic to read, which is a shame, since I normally really enjoy these articles  If ever there is a deck to play Heroes Remembered in, Mana Boon is it!

Anyone else catch the 'Girlfriend' -> 'Betrayer' bit in there?
Line of the day.

Wow, i actually laughed out loud at this.
Excellent writing and the best Neutral Evil twin yet. Too bad there wasn't actually any combos in there
I was hoping for some "evil combos" that make the game a horrible drag for your opponent, but i suppose thats what the column does normally.
I loved the decks. Evil Chris M, you're a natural.

While reading, I had to take a few seconds to stop laughing before answering my phone. Great article.
