This actually looks pretty good on paper. How did it get overlooked until words?

Um, I don’t think it was overlooked!

Right – “until Worlds”! I think he’s implying he didn’t see people use this card until it suddenly became a thing there. If folks noticed the use of the card, maybe they kept it secret. But I think Curtis probably had some recall bias here – TMvTA came out in the US in March of 2004, and Worlds was in August 2004. That’s only a 5 month window and just because he didn’t notice anyone playing it until after Worlds, doesn’t mean it couldn’t have seen a ton of play outside of his purview.

Aha, I misread Mr. Curtis’s post. My bad!
Here’s a cool breakdown of Tsuguyoshi Yamato’s deck:
