Finally, we discuss Skura's U/W Thirst Trap deck which I just renamed as I was typing this. You're welcome, Skura. In addition to that, I make a number of other references that Joey doesn't understand. Players Tour Brussels top performing Pioneer decklists (because you'll never actually find them on Wizard's site). Players Tour Nagoya top performing Pioneer decklists (ditto).
