Tommi Hovi

Tommi Hovi (born 5 January 1980)[1] is a former professional Magic: The Gathering player from Finland.

[6] He was inducted into the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour Hall of Fame in the inaugural class in 2005.

Decks of this type rely on large numbers of mana-producing artifacts (like Mox Diamond, Lotus Petal, Grim Monolith, and Thran Dynamo), mechanisms for repeatedly untapping the Academy and/or those artifacts (like Voltaic Key and Mind Over Matter), and ways to get more cards into the player's hand (like Stroke of Genius).

This deck type was so powerful that almost every card in it was put on the Restricted list, and even then, it continued to survive as "Neo-Academy".

The highly-talkative Rosewater asked several questions, to which the shy Hovi would only reply with one or two-word answers.
