I was planning on attending this, but then a 5th seat opened up for a road trip to the GP. It was a chance to see my brother Josh and his wife, and other friends including Lou and Weeden, so in the end I had to bail on the Vintage event. I will try hard to make the next one. Don't give up Carl!

Nice report buddy! Welcome back to cardboard-crack!

As always, it was a blast at the event, and the best part was everyone rolling over to The Draft afterward to grub. It was great to catch up with everyone and bullshit etc.

Cheers!!

Missed the last one but I'm super excited to sling some power around. Cant wait to see the crew (mostly) reassembled for this one. Pack your mana drain hate its gonna be 2006 all over again!!

Glad to see you upped the proxy count for this one Carl, as it should help bring a few more people who wouldn't otherwise have had any interest (who want's to play sub-optimal decklists anyway?).

I won't be able to make this one tho, but would love to see these proxy events become a monthly thing. You know my thoughts here Carl: hold these often so people don't forget about how much fun they had at the last one!

Just wanted to say that it was a blast to meet so many people from the vintage community, and I hope to see everyone again next year. Cheers!

Nice report Vroman. Good to see you at the top tables again!

bummed to hear you won't be there buddy! looking forward to seeing everyone who makes it - cheers!

Dude I'm totally down for this. let's tear some shit up (... whatever that even means)!

count me in!

Anyone who wants to test on Saturday for this let me know!!

i tested it in Ad Naus but found it was too much of a tempo loss, and i almost never want to fetch out island in that deck - bassically it just isn't needed in that deck, as the cards you would cut are soo much better than sleight (dark confidant).

Wow, I totally thought you were the duncan from CO! My bad, but congrats anyways (Go Amsterdam )

Vroman,

Props for the top 8 - sorry for the lack of awesomeness for all you non-beta sapphire winners.

Glad to see you slinging workshops around again... hopefully we get a chance to battle again (Are you going to Gencon?).

Peace!

Travis

Wow fu&K yeah, way to go Brett! also, mad props to Vroman for his return with Uba Stax (man that deck is a beating!). brett is one of the slowest players I know... even when we are doing a fun draft at his house he still takes like 4 min a turn LOL! I still love the guy, and he remains one of the best players i've have had the pleasure of loosing to. Also, props to Lou and Duncan for the top 8... way to rep CO guys!

man, i told you this would happen... u gotta stop fooling around with your girlfriend when you are driving

Sweet! 1 less dredge player!

LOL - yeah I imagine that's how most games go... I guess i was wondering what he played against, how the card choices worked out (Reef Shaman?) etc. etc.

why would anyone play this vs. non-mono U fish (other than wanting to actually play fish!)

that merfolk list looks interesting - I would love to read a report from the pilot if he would be willing to write one.

Thanks!

Ray,

This sounds rad, I wish I could be there.... I'm trying my hardest to be ready for Gencon this year, which means no Chicago and unfortunatly no TMD Open either, but one of these days I will make it out there for sure - I know Fuckin' Lou would be down for a road trip, and I'm sure we can round up some more of the colorado guys, but not this time

Thanks anyway for helping to keep the scene alive!

Bonus Math Question:

Prove that the short exact sequence of Z-modules:

            2      pi   
0 --> Z --> Z --> Z/2Z --> 0

does not split (where 2 denotes multiplication by 2, pi is the canonical projection map, and Z is the integers)

There isn't anything scheduled at Time Warp for a bit, but keep checking the tournie forums, as we will post the next event there. I may try to hold an event for a signed unlimited jet but no plans yet....

stay tuned!

sounds rad!

now i just need to scrounge up an imperial seal... anyone have one for trade/sale? send me a PM, as i need more stuff as well, and have a signed mox jet and signed time vault I don't need.Thanks!

No worries buddy, it's my fault for not telling you to hold back! Oh well, I still think people will play TPS over Ad Naus (untill they test Ad Naus )

the SB is missing 2 pithing needle.

Gifts is stupid good and i would never cut it. i love giftsing for ad naus, acall, demonic, vampiric, or just 4x tutor, or mana, etc,etc.

intuition seems kinda good too, needs testing.


i was hoping this list wouldn't have been published

Yeah, BOB adds a whole different angle of attack for the deck - FISH STORM FTW!!!

Steve,

Really enjoied your articles (WOTC and SCG). Thanks for the kind words 

I'm just a little concerned people will start testing Ad Naus some more now, and it will start catching on in other metagames... once people realize how sick the card is, the restriction timer will start ticking down for Ad Naus.

Prediction: 2009 year in review will discuss the restriction of Ad Naus @_@

Thanks again,

Travis

Steve,

I don't think any of the top 8's for these events have been posted... I know Ed has been really busy with trying to leave for his Florida Trail trip, and furthermore we have not had more than 32 players for these events since the first one, so I don't think he was intending to post them.

I just won the Time Vault on the event on the 4th, using a similar list from the first event (+/- a few cards). I would post my list, but due to the request of teammates I must respectfully refuse.

Thanks!


Travis

Thats cuz nobody plays the deck

LOL!

Shit I told you not to talk about our MWS testing

Count me in! Better watch out cuz I got the sick techmology for the dredge mirror!

Josh thanks for the support - wish you could make this one!

I am fine with paying 15 for a twister, as it will be a blast slinging moxes all day. I think the whole point is to just try and build the scene and make sure that we keep holding these events.


I heard from Ed yesterday we may be graced with the presence of CHRISTOPHER RUSH at this event, but nothing is finalized yet...
