One of the best handling decks out there

Over the last decade, I've always been searching for cards that handle great. Turners are fantastic, Standards are hit or miss. Tally Hos lately have been a complete miss for me.

What's the best version of ACAAN you ever saw with your own eyes? I'm not talking about Youtube clips or ones that you know about. I'm talking about live performances only. Here's my favorite version that still has me fooled today: https://youtu.be/W4PEoAcYXQU

Re: Here's the one time I just had to admit defeat
