Only Masknaught and Meandeck (4x Merchant Scroll) Gifts came out in multiples at two each. Actually, I think there were two Slavers there as well.

Thanks to all who came out; it was an awesome time! |

I may or may not had been playing something that Brian Demars may or may not have designed, and he may or may not have wanted the decklist to be withheld.

2. Nam Tran - Control Slaver
This is my boo. Why didn't he run Uba I used to play Slaver for a long time before I picked up Stax. Roland Chang once told me that Asian Stax players need to represent, and I have. Needless to say, I missed my Mana Drains though. It's alright though, I can play Shops or Drains ok I guess... Hell yes, Jester T8's baybeeee!
Anyone know what he lost too?
Nat Moes (Lochinvar81) lost to my friend, Angel Rivera playing Megaman (JR Goldberg's Bomberman list). |

Oh, I see, you don't consider me a friend as well, Nam Tran? That's cool. I understand...  Anyway, is there a significant difference between "Megaman" and "Bomberman" besides being a better Nintendo game? I noticed the name on the decklist and figured everyone would understand better if I called it Bomberman. Also, we should probably have some pictures up later in the day or week, depending on when Dave gets them to me. |

Your the guy that came up with Dianes and Thurmans! Without you, the after tournament meal would be lost. JR just likes to call his Bomberman list Megaman because he put 4 Merchant Scrolls in it. The Merchant Scrolls make the sort of different from other Bomberman lists. |

Yeah! After tournament meal!
I noticed the Merchant Scrolls and thought they might be the difference. I'm pretty sure one was used to find Ancestral in the game against me, which I'm pretty sure automatically makes it worthwhile.
Also, the ladies should take note of the strong Moes genepool represented by the top 4. Them's good breedin' stock.

If the car ride was only a few hours he should only have been able to get through 2 at the most. At one point Droba told the same story twice. I don't know if Paul caught it but I just laughed to myself in the back seat. It was awsome!!! |

He just doesn't want people to know his secret tech. I wish I could run my 5th shop in Jester...but I guess I'd have to withhold mine too then |

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to thank you all for coming out to our tournament for the Mox.It sounds like I missed out on a fun party and some fine poopcake at Diane's...I'll make sure I can go next time...no excuses. At the December tournament I hope people play out the finals and someone walks away with the Mox. It's been a while since I can say I gave away some power. Remember that with every additional player past the first 20 we add all entry fees to the prize pool for the top four. With thirty players, we will be able to spit up $200 in store credit for second thru fourth. With more than 30 the prizes go up even more. So try to round up an extra person or two, with the extra prizes, people will play out the finals. David BaumThe Gamers Lounge127 E. Market St. Sandusky, OH 44870 davidpbaum@theherozone.com |
