We had 5 people who managed to meet the deadline.  Those players were (in no particular order):

_TOMP_

PlanetWalls

ChrisKool

Platipus10

Platipus10 did 87,936,232,222,009,900,000,000,000 points of damage.

_TOMP_ did 90 points of damage.

Both PlanetWalls and ChrisKool entries were disqualified for not having a whole number as a final result.

I will be working with AJ_Impy, who is currently in 1st place to validate his deck and gameplay.  I will make a formal announcement to the winners of the first deck challenge once decks have been properly
validated and results are verified.
