Notes:

The cop deck is a familiar concept but this is a new venture for Alex. It does not qualify as a theme deck as it only has 15 cops and, indeed, there was some surprise that it did not include more cops - Gruff Lieutenant or another Undercover Cop.
Alex has been in 5 of 12 Finchley finals and has now won two of them. There is a good case for saying that he is now The Man in London, now that Tom Kassel seems to have lost his touch.
With this deck, he has at last broken the winning streak of the Thing with 1000 Tongues. The Thing had a very good run - playing a key part in the last 6 victories. The prize for this success was a signed Thing with 1000 Tongues - well done. Alex now has three copies of this card and so we probably have not seen the last of it.
As usual, a JPEG picture of Alex Wargacki is being posted to the newsgroup with these reports.
