Yo, Hatter!
I'm writing this here instead of just IMing because I want to surprise you, and because it gives me time to collect my thoughts on the subject.
It's sad to see you go. I haven't known you long, but you're a really fun guy and you brought a spirit to the game that most people can't even approach in terms of likability. I also know, from out Apprentice battles, just how good of a player you are. You make and idea and any deck work for you, and there's a lot to be admired about your creativity. You're one of the few friends I have in the TCG and also one of the best.
It's also a loss to the community, as you've been continually giving to it for ages. You write many articles and make many decks for people and you've always promoted creative deckbuilding. You even created several archetypes all on your own, but you always took it really lightly without overinflating your head.
It was fun too to see you play my build of TurnCruel at that tournament last year. You took a deck you probably had next to no experience with it and sweeped.
And my condolences go out to everyone who knows Hatter better than I do. It's a little more than an upsetting bump in the road for me to see you leave the game, so I don't know how bad it is for another people who know you better than I do.
Good luck with everything in life. I hope you never lose your sense of wonder ;D
