Notable decks
Österberg played an Extended 
Tinker combo deck to win Pro Tour New Orleans.[3]
| “ | He started this tournament 3-3, and then remembered something. His girlfriend gave a lucky frog for this tournament, and from that round on Rickard had it on the table for games. He stopped losing entirely.[1] | ” |
