Matt great article I can't wait to try this monster. I also disagree w/ chains I also tried them and a good gush player just filters. Unless you are blessed enough to get both of them into Play.

Or any one of the other movies that I've been mocked for not having seen.  Like Rocky.

Your actually not allowed in PA now until you see this movie. Any event in PA should actually cost you double because you haven't seen this movie...

If you want to talk about great movies that few people have seen, we could talk about that.  Pretty sure Rocky isn't going to change my life.  Have you ever seen The Great Dictator?  Or Dr. Strangelove?  How about Being There?  They were all excellent, and I would highly recommend them.  There are more, but divergent tastes in movies may separate us.



Is it just me or do these all sound like Gay porn titles?? lol j/k

Report


Rd1 Aaron "Rube Cube" Rubenstein w/TPS
G1: I keep a hand of Bob, Sapphire, fetch, tinker, pearl, volcanic and duress. Aaron leads with duress and takes tinker.
I play turn one bob and Aaron cant keep up with the card adv. he creates.
G2: I drop an early jace followed by duress effects and Jace seals the deal.
  
1-0-0

Rd2 TJ Gumina w/Shops
G1: I win the die roll and on the play mull to 6 I open with mox emerald tap to play key play tolarian academy tap tolarian to play vault and pass the turn. TJ kind of smirks and then on his turn plays MWS null rod. followed the next turn by chalice on 2 I find tinker and go after sphinx and he Finishes.

G2: TJ mulls to 5 and reluctantly keeps. I play a turn 5 jace and greater gargadon get's there.

2-0-0


Rd3 Brian Reilly w/ Nick D's Shops deck

G1: Brian keeps plays ancient tomb mox and then Serum powder

I play land mox sapphire bob and pass He then plays sphere I force

the next turn I reveal mox to bob and swing Brian plays 3 more spells (All Forced or drained) before Ancient tomb and bob killed him.

G2: Brian plays MWS mox lodestone golem pass.

I play pearl tap play key cast lotus fetch island sac lotus  cast tinker for vault and pass he plays a tangle wire which is annoying but on my turn scoops.



Brian wanted me to put in my report the fact that he hates Serum powder.

3-0-0

Rd4 Max Brown w/ Dark Times

G1: Max quickly gets hexmage sacs and kills me with a 20/20 token.

G2: I get jace down and the card advantage proves to much and an EOT hurkyll's puts the null rod's back in Max's hand and activate time vault to go infinite.

G3: Despite being sad sacced twice I had a gargadon in hand and finally got it into play  We end up going to time and at the buzzer I have a gargadon in play Max is at 16 I swing and put him to 7 then yawgmoth's will he Diabolic edicts in resp I have the force for it. Swing the next turn and win.

4-0-0



Rd5 Alex Owen w/ Dredge

ID

4-0-1



Top 4 Keith Seals w/ Oath

G1: I lose the die roll but an early remora followed by bob gets there. Keith ended up showing me after the game that he had unfortunately drawn all 3 creatures he plays.

G2: We paris to 6 and oath does what it is supposed to do I die quickly to large creatures.

G3: I again get remora and bob online but he is seriously mana light. I tinker for sphinx and bob and Sphinx start swinging he gets oath and oaths up hellkite but sphinx has him under control Keith goes to 7 and I duress he shows me Iona and a few other cards I take Duress and Merchant scroll for echoing truth after oath resolves I bounce both  hellkites and swing on my turn.

5-0-1



Finals Alex Owen w/ Dredge

G1: He powders twice then mulls to 3 I assemble Tez Vault and he kills me the next turn.

G2: I mull to 4 one land and never recover.



I was impressed with the way the deck performed and was particularly happy with the addition of Jace.



Props:Nick D for running a great event.  

          Aaron Rubenstein for showing me a certain video of One "Thor God of Thunder"  

          vomiting bubbles.

          And everyone who came out to support a great T.O.



Slops:The waitress at the "Bees" for ignoring us and knowing that she was gonna get a

          tip anyway

          The belt parkway and the rain the whole 2:45 mins home ugh.



Nick looking forward to your next event.

If you knew anything about events run by Iron Chef, my guess is that it's in the Philadelphia area.

There ain't no party like a Nick Coss party!

Is this the next Philly Open?
