Good stuff, Nartman!  Great to meet you up there.  Hopefully see you again soon!

Steve Shaw (see other -- teammates -- post for contact info)

Congrats!!

Sorry I couldnt stick around to exchange info -- if you get any more news on Jamestown-area events, let me know, and I will do the same for Cleveland.  Love it when foreigners show up to our events, steal our power, and walk away muttering strange New York expressions in crazy accents!  :lol:

Anyway -- contact info sshawmd@sbcglobal.net (thats Dr. Stephen Shaw to you, folks)

Nice report, by the by -- I screwed up all over that tourney -- need a bit more in the way of practice.  Musta been that Burger King b-fast that got you pumped!

Anyone outside of Cleveland area planning on coming?

Just had our 1/15 Mox Sapphire tournament and attracted a great crew of 27 players, hoping to have just as much fun with a few more people at this one!!

I love TMD -- I come here regularly, play Type I exclusively, and have to say that I'm quite good at it.  I am ranked 8th in my state for vintage, do well in tournaments, and have won against strong competitors.

With that said, I have trouble believing that people on TMD wonder why innovation is so rare.  We all know that new ideas on this site are STOMPED into the ground if they do not come from one of the "elite".  There is no healthy atmosphere where people can share ideas and get good feedback from others.  I agree that the best format for new innovation comes from team membership and the ability to dedicate time to brainstorming and testing, but there are a LOT of cards and combinations out there screaming to be broken.  On the internet, we do not have any place to go to simply put forth ideas to let others chew on as well.  If a deck or idea has not been thoroughly tweaked and tested beyond belief, it and its creator will be ostracized from the community and summarily dismissed.

Those of us who have professional lives (I am a physician) can only dedicate small to moderate amounts of time, and we would have a lot to add if we could pool together on one internet site and mass-process tons of each-others ideas.  That can't happen on this somewhat fascist, often closed-minded site.

I'm definitely there

What about Forcefield as a one-of in the maindeck or sideboard to temporarily deal with big Oathed fatties or some of stacker's threats?
