{"ops":[{"insert":"Yes thank you prof and archidekt so much. This was a lot of fun, and this website was very user friendly and intuitive (it was my first time using it after learning about it on your YouTube video announcing this contest). I recently rediscovered my love for Magic after initially playing it in the late 90s and early 2000s, and your videos are so helpful in understanding everything that is new to me about the game. It helps me teach my 7 year old daughter and 4 year old son all about the game. Keep up the great work! \n"}]}

Such a cool idea, hope everyone has fun building decks and I love some of the decks I have looked at already.\n\nP.S. I may have already got myself in trouble, but can we edit our decks after we submit it, I find cards that I'm like \"Oh, that would be more thematic\"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I have a technical question about the submissions. Is the due date refer to when the decklists must be submitted by or is it the last time the deck can be edited by? Mostly wondering if we are locked into the initial list as it was submitted. \n\nThanks for the great opportunity!\n"}]}
