May the best competitor win!

Working out the kinks on the builds for this shindig.

This looks like a sick play. I'll be there clawing my way through all the hate

I clean mine by holding a lighter up to the face of the card. The oil from your hands burns at a much lower temperature than the cardboard, so it's completely safe.

Good luck!

I think you're mis-evaluating bounce by saying it effectively removes Rod from your further plans. If you bounce it, you have one turn to do things. Remove it with Ancient Grudge, and you'll have at least two turns to do things. That makes a big difference when you're setting up a winning scenario, especially a deck with this many draw7s.

When playtesting against Yangtime, his mana seemed perfectly fine, and I don't think the fourth color detracts enough from the manabase enough to warrant cutting Regrowth and flashback on Ancient Grudge, the former of which is pretty sick in a pile of restricted cards.

Itou wins game 1 of the Finals, thanks to Ancestral and a MisD Ancestral.

Top 4:
Brian Demars is in.
Brandon Jones is in.
Hiromichi Itou is in.

Trogdon is playing Stax, Demars is playing Steel City Vault, I have no idea on anyone else.

Top 8:

Mark Trogdon v Hiromichi Itou

Colin Wu v. John donovan

Jesse Spears v. Brian Demars

Deven Cucommun v. Brandon jones

I'M Carpicus!

This is five days away. Who will reign supreme?! With Twaun out of the picture, will the illustrious Mark Trogdon dominate the dojo and keep the power in Cleveland, or will someone try to snatch it away from the sandy shores of Lake Erie?! Or will Scottish Juggernaut Jerry Yang continue his great performance from Day 2 of the ICBM Open and ruin people? The only way to know for sure is to come and find out.

Hype!

This is the funniest Tournament Report I've ever read. It's a Vintage report, though. Circa 2002.

So I commented on that video, and got this reply via Youtube mail:


Not entirely positive this is the exact person or situation, but it does confirm that he stole a backpack that contained a black lotus, and it must have been recently, since there's no reason to post this anytime past it just happening.

So people in the Phoenix area (and around the Western US apparently), watch your stuff.

I think that a lot what you said is sub-par, considering the fact that you have infinite turns. Why would you take infinite turns, and then want to ruin their board by slaving them? You've already won; you have infinite turns.

I'll have to get the exact number tomorrow when I playtest with Mark and Jerry, but I'm pretty sure Jerry won a whole lot of games on the back of a protected Sphinx. About half, IIRC. Nam playtested Rich's list at our weekly tournament and kept saying that he wanted something to win with. The deck seemed too slow watching him play it, but Nam will have to comment on it.

I personally like the addition of welder, but having it in the deck almost forces you to play other robots, essentially turning you into slaver with an unnecessary combo center. Maybe perhaps only as a 2-or-1 of, to reinforce the Mirror Strategy without forcing you to run Strat planning/Slaver/Trikebus. You'd really only need it against control to solidify having a mirror in play. Red splashing might hurt the manabase too much against shops, however.

Just over a week till tournament time! HYPE HYPE HYPE!!

From the looks of the side events listed on the Nationals site, most are giving out Urza's Legacy/Destiny boxes. Maybe that trend will continue to the Main event?

It is very strange that they only moved Vintage champs to Nationals and not Legacy as well. Why split them up and put them in different weekends, and at different locations? Doesn't make much sense.

People who have it for 360 will be able to download all the boss battles as regular songs for free by the end of the month, according to www.scorehero.com .

Versus

A Christmas Story

If I have the time, the Lord of the Rings movies are watchable forever.

Ong-Bak: the Thai Warrior. Can't go wrong with hot knee to face action.

Army of Darkness.

The Boondock Saints is a watchable movie a couple of times a year, to refresh my mind how amazing Willem Dafoe is of an actor.

The Roots- Long Time

Gotta get pumped, they're coming to Cleveland!

Next: Common- The People
Final: Common- The Game

Yes to both questions. Just don't pass priority after the Ghitu's ability resolves, or else you have missed it.

Tour De Japon- Final Fantasy VII Main Theme

Next- The Seatbelts- Tank!
After- The Roots- Living in a New World feat. John-John

So does that mean you're in?

The Game- Doctor's Advocate. The entire album.

Next: Medeski, Martin and Wood- Is There Anybody Here That Love My Jesus?

The Roots- In the Music

Diablo II: LOD anyone?

I had the urge two nights ago to start playing it again. I have a 78 Sorceress already.

This computer isn't good enough to play Guild Wars (shocking, yes) and I don't have money for WoW, so it's classic online gaming at it's finest.

Ephraim, should I ever decide to log back on to GW my name is Eric The Awesome. I only play the original version though, I stopped buying after Factions because it sucked. If you see me on say hello.

Oh, and I have almost half of the 40 songs on Guitar Hero II for PS2 five-starred. That's as good as I'll get.
