==The bluff against Tom Martell==
Estratti's perhaps most famous play was at Pro Tour Dark Ascension in 2012, in a game of Innistrad-Dark Ascension Limited. His opponent, Tom Martell, had <c>Beguiler of Wills</c> with <c>Mask of Avacyn</c> equipped, which Estratti could not hope to beat. However, upon attacking with his <c>Fiend Hunter</c>, Estratti hastily plays a <c>Moment of Heroism</c> on his creature and looks to be about to cast a second, but realizes that Martell still has a creature to block with (the Beguiler), and stops. Martell would take lethal damage if he didn't block and if Estratti indeed had another Moment of Heroism, so he chump blocked with Beguiler of Wills. Estratti did, in fact, not have a second pump spell, so he successfully tricked Martell into sacrificing the card he couldn't beat. Estratti went on to win the game.
