Let me start by letting Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris introduce you to the A. T. L.!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play And we ride on them things like every day Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin' And parties dont stop til' eight in the mornin' What part of Atlanta will you be moving to? I live in Midtown and am a regular at The Gaming Pit. (which is a couple of minutes from Zherbus' house) I am usually there on Wednesdays and Fridays playing Magic. It looks like we are starting to get a few named players down in the southeast. We could potentially run monthly Vintage tourneys here in Atlanta, and at the next tourney I will try and figure out a way to do this. PM me if you have any question about da ATL or if you want to meet up sometime. Brandon

I passed out these flyers at the pre-release and there seemed to be quite a bit of positive feedback about the tournament. There should be people coming from all over Georgia and hopefully we will get some people from South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee.  If anyone has any questions please feel free to PM them to me, and yes it is Duluth. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae.

The picture where we were asked whose turn is it, is the last picture. The second to last pic was George's turn obv. because of him being able to cast Time Walk. Both of those were insane counter wars that I barely won. The last picture kind went like this:
He plays ancestral recall with 7 cards left in his hand. I respond by breaking one of my two fetches that are on the board. He responds by activating library. I respond to that by breaking my other fetch land and get Volcanic Island. I REB his Ancestral still in response to the library activation. He Forces pitching Fire//Ice. I force back pitching Brainstorm. On the stack currently is my FOW, his FOW, my REB, his Library Activation, My Fetchland, and his Ancestral. This where someone walks up and asks "whose turn is it?" while we are trying to figure what in the hell is goin with the stack. We respond with....Uhhh... Ummm...I'm not real sure...At a larger event we might have got warnings, but we just sat there and laughed about it until we figured it out. That may be one of the reasons we went to time. Who knows?

I admit that fathom seer is slow and ya it is sorcery speed to play the creature. George, myself and the rest of shake and bake are known for trying something different and trying to make cards from new sets see play in vintage. Its called INNOVATION. The idea of the deck is not to drop the fathom seer as soon as possible and flip it immediately. It is something that you can burn your drain mana in and it provides great tempo late in the game. Drawing extra cards has always been a good game plan in our book. I got the same response about our izzet contol deck and how much izzet guildmage sucks, the combo takes too many lands, etc. We are not out there saying that fathom seer is a format changing card but we just like to show up to tourneys with something new that no one has seen before. I think that the element of surprise is a huge factor in many of the recent vintage performacnes. I did notice that in a aggro/ichorid heavy meta game this deck will almost always lose. I knew that charleston's meta is always different. There are people there that always play the same deck and there is everyone else who is completely unpredictable. So I went with my gut and put together a SB that has a lot of fun abuseing drain mana. I also must comment that when i did get matched up with aggroish deck fathom seer can be a great card to just hardcast. He is a 1/3 and he can keep your opponent from setting up a lock with dimir cutpurse, he kills savannah lions,bob,erayo, and other 1 toughness fishy creatures. You can also kill the 2/2s by dropping the fathom seer as a morph stacking the damage and flipping your fathom seer. Overall I am pleased with my performance and I think I will play the deck again with some minor changes.
Thanks Brandon
