I started playing Magic The Gathering when I was at Stanford back in early 1994, and introduced it to my high school friends when I went back to Atlanta that summer. One of those friends was Jay Schneider, who has this amazing habit of taking up a hobby and turning it into something world-class, so it didn’t really surprise me when a couple of years later I heard Jay had developed a new kind of deck that was turning the competitive MTG world on its head: a deck that looked for all the world like a bunch of random red crap commons, but just… kept… beating you. Jay called the deck Geeba, but everyone else called it the Sligh Deck after Paul Sligh, another friend who played Geeba in the tournament where it first came to prominence.
Anyway, The Tranquil Domain has just put out a 15 minute interview with Jay and Paul about the history of the Geeba / Sligh deck. Enjoy!
