Julian Lighton won the GenCon 2003 Comrades in Arms tournament using this deck. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Comrades in Arms requires a theme deck, where at least 23 of the cards share a designator. In this case, Julian chose Big as the designator.

The secret of its success in the final? Obviously, it was my 133t skillz. Any rumors that it was because I drew 2 or 3 Fighting Spirits and repeatedly recycled a Brawl and a Gambit are, well, true.

It's a fun deck to play, with a lot of available tricks and a lot of variety in how it plays from game to game. With a little work, it could go double-designator, though that would probably entail going truly multi-faction, and that would probably require swapping out the dragon sticks for something less resource-intensive. Big Bruisers would be the most obvious choice, but they have poor synergy with the states.
