Calling all Hadley Players

[Anonymous]

Anyone that regularly plays in the Hadley tournys?  I know there are quite a few here.  If you are, could you tell me who does them?  Is started playing in them about 4 months ago, and it's fun (god dammit Chris you're not there for Mortal Combat   )

Thanks

PS:  I'm trying to get a membership but it's difficult due to the fact that people are wasting Zherbus' time.

hey, i'll assume this is derrek?

lets see...hadley players -
mezzir - me
billtheduck - nick
grandinquisitor - steve, he plays gro most of the time
perniciousdude - dan, one of the older guys you'll see there and he's still cooler than me

Yeah, this is.  (PS It's Derek not Derrek)

Well, I know Nick, maybe Dan (is he the one with glasses?), Bryan (Is he in college?), and maybe you, but "me" doesn't really tell who you are   .  I'm guessing this is Chris, but I could be wrong.  I've been looking through Vintage articles; is BigChuck a Hadley guy?  I hope that's not who I think it is   .

Anyways, I have'nt played in a tourny yet, as I just go to trade, buy cards, watch, and play casually.  I will start playing once my Oath is complete.  

Ok, while I'm on the subject, I don't think the Moderators will appreciate it if I make a new thread, so I'll post a decklist I'm working with right here.  The only problem is not many experienced players look into this forum.  This is open comment, just keep it U/G, that's all.  I don't have moxen or alot of power, so don't suggest those.  Here it is; I'm just thinking it's too slow.

//Land

9 Island
4 Forest
4 Tropical Island
3 Yavimaya Coast
1 Strip Mine
2 Wasteland
1 Undiscovered Paradise

//Creatures

1 Morphling
1 Spike Feeder
1 Spike Weaver

(The usual)


//Spells (green)

4 Oath of Druids
2 Sylvan Library
2 Gaea's Blessing
1 Holistic Wisdom
1 Regrowth

//Spells (blue)

4 Force of Will
4 Mana Leak
4 Impulse
4 Counterspell
2 Misdirection
2 Back to Basics
1 Merchant Scroll
1 Fact or Fiction
1 Capsize
1 Cunning Wish


//Artifact
1 Sol Ring
1 Powder Keg

//Sideboard

None yet (Just look at the maindeck)


NOTE:  A couple things about this deck.  First, this deck mainly geared towards the Hadley metagame, where there are lots of unbasic stuff around.  Mostly all I see is Bryan’s mask deck which is really good, some Sligh, Nick’s powered Keeper (But I don’t thing he plays much as he works there), some grow, and some other random crap.  I think the B2B is good in here.
   I also don’t have Mana Drains .  Also, I don’t have Brainstorm and I think Impulse is a lot better.
   If anyone Hadley players could tell me who they are here, or if anyone wants to comment on my deck just go for it.  Moderators, if you feel this deck list should be a new thread, I don’t care.

-3 Coasts +3 Fetchlands - There is no reason for the painlands over the Fetchlands. Especially with 2 maindeck b2b.

-2 Forest +2 Mishra's Factory - You find enough green already and you need to make up for the lack of speed/moxen.

-1 Holistic Wisdom +1 Teferis Response - Holistic Wisdom is poop. Especially with no Ancestral or Walk to abuse.

-2 Mana Leak +2 Powder Keg - You would be better against Mask to have a Solution on the board. It also clears moxen, weenie horde, etc to buy you time.

-1 Cunning Wish +1 Stroke - You only run 2 colors, and will probably have trouble finding enough wish targets to make it worth while.

Sideboard - Look at what I have put together in the Extreme Vintage Forum under the thread 'A Metagame Deck'.

P.S. I need your email address to find which application is yours.

Same as Zherbus'.  PsycoCid told me awhile ago, but I forgot.  That article is really helpfull at the end for SB.

NOTE:  Is mezzir Chris? He just said it was "me".

Quote Holistic Wisdom is poop

.  Holy shit that was funny when I read it.  That was from the head of this site everyone.  Have'nt heard that word in ahwile   .

Thanks.

[Zherbus]

I recommended Response because its a great way to make up for lost ancestral. It also protects those factories hardcore.

...and yeah, Holistic Wisdom is really crappy. I hate that card in Oath.

[ctthespian]

Well the CT consists of
Myself CTThespian aka Keith
Wicketsnatcher aka Jarad
Paxton aka Tim
BigChuck2K1 aka Chuck
Todd who doesn't have an ID as far as I know yet.

We usually try to make the big monthly tournys.  I may try to make some of the other regualr Saturday tournys in the future however.

[hulk3rules]

ugh   it's Brian (thanks chris  )

anyways, yeah i am in college.  aren't you the person i showed my school ID to for proof?

[pernicious dude]

Dan's the old guy with the short hair and little round glasses.
Loses a lot.
Except to Dragon.

Mezzir is Chris B.
He pretty much just comes out for power tournaments,
with some janky-assed deck he built the night before.
And then he wins moxes and such with it.

What the hell?  Are'nt you Dan?  Oh well, I basically know who I'm talking to now.  Bryan *ahem* Brian, yes, I'm that kid you showed your ID to.  It's not that I didn't believe you, it was just Kenny being the little shit he is   .  He said you were in 10th.  Oh well (Kenny doesn't go much to the Tournements, but his brother goes Tom.  Does he post here?)

Anyway, Hadley people, I need some stuff for my deck, so if you have some of these you want to trade, great.

Need:

1 Morphling
2 Sylvan Library
3 Fetchlands
3 Tropical Islands
2 Misdirection
4 Impulse
3 Oath of Druids
2 Powder Keg
1 merchant scroll

I hav'nt really gone lately to trade so I'm behind in alot of stuff I should have.  Thanks if you have this stuff.  Peace (my mom is a bitch)
