Congratulations, Eric, we met at valencia, we had a little talk after the game against the italian player playing gush tendrils.I followed you on all the top16 and I loved your playstyle and the way you took all decisions.

I just can't guess how you simplify things as you've talked about the top 4 game as a easy one and the ancestral you played at that point you just metion it and it was a CRAZY play. I still can see the face of your opponent who opened his eyes wide open when he saw you were casting ancestral just after casting duress and seeing in his hand 2FOW + 2 reb. He just was thinking for a whole minute or so... just aking himself what the hell were you holding in hand to be able to cast an ancestral on mainphase, after seeing all his active disruption... he just conceded the war moaning and, in my oppinion, taking the game as game over.

A pleasure meeting you and you wife and I'd like to congratulate you personally.

About the cheating on top 16 I hope you noticed the mass of people who were supporting you there (most of them spanish people) who were regreting the attitude of that player (who was Spanish) and the attitude of the judges, which was horrible. We tried to give you a warm enviroment and we really cheered your victory.

Again, a pleasure to meet you, I hope one day we'll meet again.

Cheers.

Alvaro

Hi!

After a few months of lurking I found some courage to register and try to start becoming a bit more part of this forum. It seems that here I might find what I lost 8 years ago when I was playing MTG in some kind of competitive way.

My name is Alvaro and I live in Spain, English is not my first language so from now on I beg your pardon if you see some kind of misspelling or wrong grammar. I've got some decent English level, but I'm sure it will not avoid me from drive you mad with my constructions and vocabulary. (I'll happily accept any kind of correction if it's purpose is to improve my English level).

Just nice to start becoming part of such a site like this one is, a bit concerned about the level is being expected from it's users and really worried about all those abreviations you use that makes me go mental  .

Ready to go.

Greetings

Alvaro
