@jam3sbob - In the Legacy side event in GP Manila 2010 (not sure about this year), the head judge allowed the few people who played in loaders. It depends I guess.

@credmond - I guess it plays a part. If you check the videos of the dredge player w/ yellow sleeves (me), you'd see that they are horribly, horribly warped, even if it's already double sleeved  Putting them in a drybox helps a bit but it warps again after using it.

yeaaah they ARE top loaders. really can't do anything about it since its the culture locally. but some players are slooowly reverting back to sleeves so that's a plus I guess

I hear you but its just harder this time around. Back then getting your face beat by Sphinx was meh but now, you really have to answer a BSC or you're pretty much dead the next turn.

hi guys,

just wanted to ask how do you answer tinker-bsc? are the 3 edicts enough?

and I would mainboard 2 nature's claim. at least you'll have an out to people who mainboard LotV for the 1st game.

ratchet bomb wont give you an out to chalice for 2 hence the EE

Happy holidays everyone! Hope 2011 would be a good year for Eternal!
