Hi, I’m Yako! 40 year old father of 2 and avid TCG player for the last 29 years, dating back to Magic’s 4th Edition. I’m releasing an exhaustive guide on Sabine ECL graciously hosted by Garbage Rollers found HERE. The guide will be updated every Thursday for as long as Sabine remains a top tier deck in my opinion. Updates will feature additional matchup gameplans as well as what 60 cards I would play going into the many PQs happening in October.

Over my lifetime, I’ve played a bunch of different TCGs. Here are some of my accomplishments during those years:

• 2002 Lord of the Rings TCG Origins Top 8
• 2002 Lord of the Rings TCG DragonCon Champion
• 2002 Lord of the Rings TCG Gen Con Continental Championship Top 8
• 2002 Lord of the Rings TCG Player of the Year
• 2007 World of Warcraft TCG Canadian Nationals Co-Champion
• 2013 Pokemon TCG Toronto Regionals Top 8
• 2023 Magic: The Gathering Cycle 2 Regional Championship Ottawa Top 4

I love writing guides. I miss the days when most of the TCG-related media we consumed was written. Videos are cool and all but it’s not the same as taking the time to read something, so I took the time to make this for people who want a complete look into this deck.

If you have any feedback concerning the guide, feel free to contact me at swuyako@gmail.com
