Earthbound and Daggerfall all day.

Also, Xenogears, FFIII, FFVII, Super Mario RPG, Morrowind.

    I do program Java/C professionally (I also know some Python, and I'm learning Lisp, I've only toyed with Prolog briefly in a grad class) and have had some db experience.  I don't really have a ton of time to devote to outside programing due to working all day and having a class on top of that but this summer I could potentionally help out.  I've already had in mind (and started) making some analysis tools for my own purposes as my personal interests have been shifting towards machine learning in the past couple years.
    The first thing I would recommend doing if you're designing a db schema is to research database normalization: http://databases.about.com/od/specificproducts/a/normalization.htm (as just an example) and shoot for at least 3rd normal form.  Otherwise, you might end up shooting yourself in the foot later down the road if you have to migrate to a more flexible schema.  Other than that for now I'd be happy to review any design documents and provide feedback (pm me for contact info).  And I do recommend making a detailed design doc if you're serious about getting down and dirty and want to have a project with developers who aren't co-located.

Sounds like fun!  Good luck folks.

Excellent event!  Fun was had all around and the brownie mana cookie was delicious!

Actually Sundering Titan has been my bane as of late, not DSC.  He trumps my mana base and can race for the win if my board position is shaky.  I do play 2 extra StPs in the SB but i haven't shifted to all 4 maindeck.  Originally, I played the 2 of each to avoid meddling mage and chalice locking down one of them.. I have no problem trying 4 and maybe boarding in smother if needed.

With the grunts:  I was finding myself without a finisher more often than desired, or staring down a Viashino Heretic.  This was the first time I tried out some grunts and I wasn't displeased but it requires more testing.  The anti-synergy with goyf is obvious but I think that little extra beef is necessary (at least in my field).

I like it!  I've been playing a very very similar list at my last three events but with mediocre results.  I'm very new to playing fish-style decks (I'm a NE 'drainer for the most part) so I'm fighting the learning curve.

I also don't particularly like the idea of running so many ESGs but I understand the importance of having a turn one drop - how have they worked out for you?  If you're running a set I can't imagine not playing vexing shusher.  He's pretty solid overall and acts as anti-chalice@2 - which completely hoses your game.  Has demonic consultation seen any play?

I'm also weighing the usefulness of mindcensor.. I also think he's great once he's down and tricky and all but he's expensive.. but he also evades and beats pretty effectively.. so I'm still debating.

I think my worst matchups so far are oath and stax despite playing so many permanents.  Unfortunately my SB is a mess.  I'll try a set of seals next time.

Here's my current list:

3 ethersworn canonist
3 vexing shusher
4 tarmogoyf
4 dark confidant
3 aven mindcensor
3 gaddock teeg
2 jutun grunt

3 duress
2 thoughtseize

4 null rod
 
1 demonic tutor
2 swords to plowshare
2 smother

1 elvish spirit guide
1 mox pearl
1 mox emerald
1 mox jet
1 lotus petal
1 black lotus
3 wasteland
1 stripmine
3 bayou
2 scrubland
2 savannah
3 polluted delta
1 windswept heath
1 swamp
1 plains
1 forest

My favorite holiday.

Was Hannibal Lecter last year (orange jumpsuit, Posey straight jacket, and hand-made leather mask).

This year I'm the middle class (sad homeless guy. tattered clothes. probably with a leash and looking for his missing dog).

I help make software that connects phone calls.
Do NOT mess with us.

Nice shootin', Sir.

Note:  I haven't read the article but I have sleeved up a version of the deck for goldfishing.


This deck runs scroll and some duress itself.  Scroll is basically another counter which helps a ton versus most decks, not just combo, and can buy an extra turn to get solid drain mana up.

Well done and well said.  You've quite the deck and Seek is some good.  I probably should have done more research going in 


My congratulations on the split.

Oh and I posted one of those tournament fliers here at UMASS Dartmouth.  If you get any rogue UmassD players send them my way

Hey!

I'm up in Winchendon, MA. north central mass.  I'm looking for some Legacy/T1 over the summer. I probably can't make it down to Springfield often but if you know of any places in between, say the Worcester area, lemme know. thanks!
