Congrats!  Umm, you do know what the deck's name is referring to, right?  XD

Umm, I'm not sure how to put this... Crimson tide is an expression for a woman's "time of the month". o_O Seriously.

Orbiter

It's also a time when the sea turns red from algae and plankton and such...

BlackJester

That may be true, and I hope that that is what the judge who named the deck meant, but most people above a certain age associate that term with something else.
Edit:  trust me, I'm not trying to be inappropriate, just letting you know that it is a slang term in English. I do realize that there is a real Crimson tide, even a movie and a sports team. But I think you might have a hard time getting that deck name published.

Karrthus

Well I guess it makes sense. When it's my wife's time she cold hearted and ready to kill. Lol

Wow, pretty solid deck! Although is there any strategy besides just beatdown?

Karrthus

Not really. It's aggro control. The combo I built the deck around was {Mirran Crusader} and {Curse of Stalked Prey}. Every time he hits he gets 2 +1/+1 counters.
