After a long absence since February, I'll be there!

Will there be an FNM on Friday OCT 2nd or there just pre-release events scheduled?

I'm interested.

How did it go?

Question, why sol ring over mana crypt? Have you been having problems with taking the 3 damage? My testing has shown me that the turn or two after I stick a mentor is generally the blowout, and the games haven't gone long enough for mana crypt to matter much. Especially now that lightning bolt isn't seeing alot of play.

Did you miss not having gitaxian probe?

I've been testing Surge of Zeal as a one-of, it really helps racing the mirror. I also really like cavern of souls.

Here is what I'm testing now:

Lands (15)
3 Tundra
3 Volcanic Island
1 Island
4 Scalding Tarn
2 Flooded Strand
1 Cavern of Souls
1 Library of Alexandria

Creatures (4)
4 Monastery Mentor

Sorcery (3)
1 Time Walk
1 Ponder
1 Treasure Cruise

Artifact (8)
1 Black Lotus
5 Moxen
1 Mana Crypt
1 Sensei's Divining Top

Instant (24)
4 Force of Will
4 Mental Misstep
1 Flusterstorm
1 Pyroblast
1 Misdirection
1 Spell Pierce
3 Gush
2 Dig Through Time
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Brainstorm
2 Swords to Plowshares
1 Hurkyl's Recall
1 Repeal
1 Surge of Zeal

Enchantment (4)
4 Mystic Remora

Planeswalkers (2)
2 Dack Fayden

I hate repeal so much. But its necessary. Spell pierce has been amazing, particularly since you often told up one blue mana due to remora anyway. Those two sometimes go in an out in favor of g-probe, depending on the meta.

Been testing one-ofs of fastbond and mass hysteria in a list with 3-gush, 3 mentor. Landing either one is just great, but they get hit by missteps. Mana base, I dropped the island for a trop and went up to 15 lands. Also allows me to play a t-predator out of the board, and one ancient grudge.

Thanks alot guys!

I hate to do this, but I'm missing ONE card for this FNM. I could swear I had it. Anyone willing to lend me a voltaic key?

I'm down, and I'll be playing with some of the new cards.

Sweet. Me and another will be there.

I would attend a sanctioned vintage fnm on jan 2nd.

edit: I have another player interested as well for the 2nd.
