socal? lol

i had to reread the t1 worlds report... seems like c&j put 3 in top 8 while socal only had 1 in top 8. heard the only socal to make top 8 did so 'cuz he got the last round opponent to concede... otherwise another c&j player would have made it.

therefore
if santa rosa > c&j and c&j > socal
then santa rosa >> socal

bow down.

that's cool. just seemed the calculations would have left 10 people with a record of 4-2 or better in a tourney with 27 people and 6 rounds. keep up the good showing and reports.

i havnt seen any of the colorful yet pityful reports in a while. so i called the store just to make sure its still around. it is. my guess is thelegendofgayness plus the fear of losing to salvagers.dec was to much to handle.

santa rosa players still would beat up on c&j players.

in a 27 participant tourny, can you make the top 8 with a record of 3-2-1, worse tiebreakers 'cause of the round one lose, and round two bye?

i can't sleep without knowing the results. who and what won? did anyone play slapjack? -- that deck owns.










and by owns i mean sucks donkey nuts.

you won this match up? in my limited playtesting versus my pet hamster, it easily 60/40 in favor of slapjack. maybe even better if i didn't make play errors and my hamster top deck so well...

for a more solid gat build that just smashes face i would make the following changes. take these out...

Deleted horrible salvager list

there. your gat is 100% better!

'Jokes' like these are not appreciated. 'Take out all your cards and replace them with deck X' is neither original nor funny. Either discuss the subject at hand or keep your mouth shut. - Bram

interesting deck.

how does it stand up to SlapJack? you know, the combo deck that goes straight for your nuts on turn 4 or 5. how do you deal?

actually i hope if the kid did have a dream, the dream wasn't to go to a magic tournament and get anally raped by a homosexual deck. i wasn't ragging on the kid, just the matchup. in all honesty i hope your deck really is legit and all. however making claims that it steamrolls zombies on the way to winning a tournament doesn't help.

wait... there's meandeck, shortbus, and you?

this part i do respect just as the creation of abm. innovation shouldn't be stifled.

really, are... you... serious.

as soon as i get out of the joint, i'll have to make my way over there and anally rape you... oops, i mean not anally rape you since that's why i'm in here in the first place. hmm true believer lightning greaves nuts on your eyebrow.

what others? i don't see them in any reports? all i see is rogue decks, kids under 13, random scrubs off the street, ...

it's spreading... like herpies.  :shock:

go ahead and ask the mods here to check my ip address, and you shall find out i am not the type of person to hide behind screen names. this is my only name on this site and i have limited time to post between random searches and library time.

as for you commenting on "MEANDECK TRIN$T4KS" what makes this deck a meandeck creation? just because a member of meandeck plays a deck, it does not make it a creation of the afore mentioned team.  facts = good, random thoughts in chunks mind = bad.

has c&j's fallen on hard times? they used to boast of at least 20 fully powered players weekly what happened?

i loved reading the tournament reports even the ones with abm. speaking of abm.. did that deck not also originate from northern california? I must say you guys are truly the creators of all the streamline decks of type one. abm, bitchslappedjack, and soon fiery gambit.dec. how will we deal? now I'm reading about some "chunk" serving players playing zombies... how the mighty have fallen.

ugh, here we go...

well I've touched on the zombie matchup. round 2 guessing christian is zhalfirin. a real player = loss. round 3 fish. loss, oops I mean his ride came, WIN! way to go. on to round 4 roguezorbsclerationcruciblefi shstill, mmmkay? Round 5, academy... still played? doesn't that deck stall out in a quarter+ of it's games?

that is what the zombie player was probably thinking after round 1.

Props to his ride.

...for a date.

how does a combo deck relying on a four casting cost creature and graveyard recur fair against 'good' decks? the one round you faced you lost.

on a different note i can't wait for TheLegendOf(suckat)Magic's tournament report!

ive always been big fan of combo. i was impressed when i first read about the combo but was put a little by all deck bashing. however i decided to put the deck together for myself and try it out. here is the deck list piloted:

1 Aether Spellbomb
1 Pyrite Spellbomb
4 Trinket Mage
4 Brainstorm
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Demonic Tutor
4 Auriok Salvagers
3 Seal of Cleansing
3 Cunning Wish
4 Mana Drain
4 Duress
4 Force of Will
2 Underground Sea
1 Island
2 Tundra
2 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
4 City of Brass
1 Lion’s Eye Diamond
1 Black Lotus
1 Time Walk
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Emerald

Sideboard:
1 Maze of Ith
1 Blue Elemental Blast
1 Red Elemental Blast
1 Rack and Ruin
1 Misdirection
1 Hurkyl's Recall
1 Disenchant
1 Swords to Plowshares
1 Brain Freeze
1 Gamble
1 Stifle
1 Shallow Grave
1 Coffin Purge
1 Defense Grid
1 Shatterstorm

after reading about the problems null rod causes, i included Seal of Cleansings in the main deck to answer that problem. it is also very good versus ivory mask and stuff. on to the tourney report!

the store i play at, the cosmic hole, is very competitive and full of tier 1 decks. but with good preparation im ready for the challenge!

round 1 fight!: brian, ww

game 1: very tough game. what i thought to be the nut draw goes south a little with my salvager meeting his swords to plowshare. his lightning quick knights, both silver and white, are whooping on me. fortunately, i draw demonic tutor and was able to play another salvager next turn and combo out! whew that was close!

game 2: he gets a crazy hand! turn two knight followed by a turn three knight! these knights also had a pump ability so they did extra damage, forget what they were called. unfortunately, i could not out race the damage and he gets me.

game 3: again, im low on life and must go for the win. i have a spellbomb in play but its the red one and he has a silver knight out. i thought i could not kill it because of pro red but after the game i found out otherwise. anyway, i played a salvager and he tried to swords it but my sideboarded misdirection saves the day! takes out that mean knight and i combo off!

1-0

round 2 fight!: dave, 10l stompy

game 1: i know this is going to be even tougher since davids deck is also lightning fast, but green lightning fast. he top decks really well and with his mana accel from the elves he was able to cast force of nature. that guy is a beating! and i lose.

game 2: starts like game 1 and im feeling like im going to lose. however i get vampiric tutor and get my maze of ith. so when he eventually casts force of nature three turns later, i play the maze and his heart sinks! lol got you! this buys me enough time to find and combo out!

game 3: i get the nut draw and almost let a little pee out! i get a first turn salvager out with help of lotus. turn four i top deck a spellbomb and go to town!

2-0

round 3 fight!: emmanuel (sp?), sly

game 1: he draws many many burn spells but goes for my dome. fortunately he doesn't see the power of this deck and i safely combo him out because his hand size is down and salvagers survives bolts! hehe

game 2: he said he sideboarded more burn spell to kill me even faster! so i have to be on top of my game and not make any mistakes to achieve victory. lucky for me he gets mana screwed. his hand if full of burn spells but only has one red mana. he can only cast on burn per turn. i get him by combo again!

3-0

round 4 (the final round) fight!: phil, battle of wits

game 1: im impressed by the size of his deck. i swear it must have been 13 inches high off the table! this is an epic battle. i wasn't sure what he was playing at first. we have many counter magic wars but his deck is too resiliant. and he was topdecking like a champ. finally he breaks through my counter wall! argh! and plays battle of wits. ive never seen the card before and must read and have it explained to me. on my turn, i thought i won! i get a seal of cleansing and try to play it to blow up the wits. but he counters it! in response i cunning wish for misdirection but then realize that cunning wish was the only blue card in my hand. darn it for not having another blue card. unfortunately, this game took a long time and we were not able to finish game 2. harumph!

3-1

so phil gets first place and i get second. not bad! i think this deck has great potential and really can be fined tuned. to the nay sayers, just try the deck, please. and you will be convinced.
