yeah, top 16 get invited to PT valencia, also does anybody who lives in Columbus know what the meta game is up there?
I'll be coming from Huntington WV so it won't be that long of a trip, so thats cool.

What the Columbus metagame isn't going to matter... I'm guessing we're going to get some 600~700 people for this from all over then East coast and mid-west. |

Yep. I have all the inside information about the meta (Combo and Extended ports). And I have plenty of room at my house for the Unicorn guys.

I'm betting that the metagame will be ridiculously diverse with the amount of people I hope will show up. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that a couple of neat rogue decks may surprise the field besides the tried and true of Goblins, IGGY Pop, and such.

Is Future Sight going to be legal in this tournament?
donīt you think that all magic-pros will go to Grand Prix-Strasbourg (Block Constructed) which is on the same weekend?

It might not always feed into the same exact format for the PT
the general rule is limited ptq => limited pt
constructed => constructed Pt
Team event => team pt

PT Valencia is Extended though. Eternal GP's -> Extended PT's.
If there ever was a Vintage GP, they might feed it into a Legacy PT, lol.

Anyone going from the Atlantic Coast area (Virginia, NC, DC, Maryland) that is interested in carpooling?

I'm very excited for this. Headed down from Canada to compete. The metagame should be ridiculously diverse.

And by diverse you mean decks built to beat Hulk, and Hulk right? Oh. Sorry. Heh. I'm going too, my first Grand Prix ever. I'm excited about this one. Hell, this is like.. the biggest tourney I'll ever go to. Or at least have ever been to. One question for those of us that haven't played in GPs before: Does your record reset going into day two or do you keep it? More importantly, what I'm trying to figure out is would it be a good idea to try to draw into day two or not if the situation arises, or should I play it out? |

I think the most surreal thing is when a complete stranger you meet at a tournament hears your name and goes "Oh, yeah. I've read your stuff." It's kind of weird, yet feels good all at the same time.

Its going to be a total mix. The decks to beat hulk themselves are very diverse. There will be hulk, decks to beat hulk, and then the cleanup crew who wipes out the decks made to beat hulk.

You start Day 2 with the same record you had at the end of day 1. If you're 6-0 at the end of 6 rounds, you DO NOT want to draw into day 2. You want to play it out for position (not to mention your opponents probably won't let you draw with them). Being 8-0, 7-0-1, or 7-1 drastically improves your chances of getting into T16/T8 on day 2 over being 6-0-2 or 6-1-1. At Philly with over 400 players, only one player 6-2 made it into day 2. At Lille, they had 900+ players (something ridiculous, >800 -> they had 9 rounds of swiss and 128 into day 2 instead of 64). So even though at 6-0 and you play it out you could end up putting yourself out of day 2 contention, but you'd kick yourself even harder if you make day 2 at 6-0-2/6-1-1 only to miss an invite or T8 appearence due to your 2 draws. |

Thanks. I'd gotten mixed signals from my friends, some said you started anew, and others said that you didn't. I figured that posting this question on here would be the safest bet. Either that or having a word with a judge and seeing what they had to say. I'll take your word for it though. |
