Thanks to everyone who came. We're playing for a Lotus next month at OGRECON!

[Eandori]

That's awesome, URW slaver deck places solidly.  I love it.

[M.Solymossy]

actually to be honest iwth you it's horrible.

if you have room to add 3 swords to plowshares and a balance and ALL that garbage to slaver, you're doing something wrong.


if the meta game looks like that, team's ICBM and GWS will own all 8 of the spots at next month's lotus

[w00t3n4t0r]

Can't wait till next month's Lotus tournament. StL will show what it truly has to offer.

[M.Solymossy]

Yeah St. Louis!  I don't see how you guys can be proud of yourself playing KeeperSlaver!


swords to plowshares and balance are SO GOOD in slaver!  / Sarcasm.

[w00t3n4t0r]

I find it funny how you see two lists in the entire metagame and you've decided that you know all of St. Louis. I ask you what excellent amazing deck are you playing that you think can just trounce our metagame? And by the way.. Ever heard of Robert Vroman? Seems he won 2/3 t1 tournaments at Origins just lately as well as coming in 7th place at SCG Chicago? Hmm.
