The round 14 match with Simon Ritzka was covered by Huy Dinh on the Wizards site. Unfortunately it was kind of boring, a mulligan and then a triple-mulligan mean Guillaume just gets run over.

Cards from Guillaume Wafo-Tapa's second draft deck:
- Farhaven Elf
- Wicker Warcrawler
- Manamorphose
- Murderous Redcap
- Gleeful Sabotage
- Crabapple Cohort

If Guillaume Wafo-Tapa lost six straight games with these cards, then imagine how badly you or I would lose with them. Murderous Redcap should not be played in decks again.

Another thing is that the decklist from Guillaume's first draft was posted on PlanetMTG. Here it is.

3 Intimidator Initiate
3 Mudbrawler Cohort
1 Devoted Druid
1 Safehold Elite
2 Hungry Spriggan
1 Boartusk Liege
3 Mudbrawler Raiders
1 Crabapple Cohort
2 Foxfire Oak

1 Scar
1 Viridescent Wisps
1 Crimson Wisps
1 Puncture Bolt
1 Firespout
2 Runes of the Deus

8 Forest
8 Mountain

This deck went 6-0 in games and it is a very good template to build something super-aggressive in triple Shadowmoor. Wafo-Tapa is the best aggro player!

The extra pro point ties Wafo-Tapa for fourth in the Player of the Year race, right next to the semi-finalists and finally ahead of the Grand Prix winners. Only Finkel, Pascoli, and Joel Calafell still need to be passed.
