Last place gets a Revised Tundra? So if you lose your first match you just drop to get a dual for $10?

I betcha you gotta play all the way through which means you have to tank your rating to have it.

[Kilz88]

Spencer is right. You can't drop. If you get the tundra you also getting a swift kick in the nuts of your rating.

Eternal ratings aren't very important (but mine is really high.)

If I don't go to Grand Prix Montreal, I'll be at this.

Prior engagement clash.. I fail at the internets.  See you all in Flint.

Man, $10 plus 60 or so Eternal rating points is a pretty good deal for a Tundra, given the actual uses for Eternal rating (byes at a GP every other year?).  I think I'd feel bad if I ended up like x-2 and got a worse prize than someone 0-5 or whatever.

3-1 with Belcher. Lost in the Quarterfinals. Matches:

Round 1 - Trevor with G Splash Gobs: 2-0

Game one I make 16 goblins on turn one, gg.
Game two I get a slow start but get both lands out of my deck and wish for cave-in to kill fanatic, piledriver, and something else. Next he play chief, followed the next turn by matron and grabs tinkerer not remembering he costs a mana to activate and I flip my deck the next turn.

Round 2 - Austin with U/W Landstill: 2-0

Game 1 I mull to 6 and he is not familliar with my deck and saves a counter for whatever I get with burning wish. He settles for bringing my storm down 1 by forcing one copy. I get 8 gobs, he swords one then gets stuck on three mana for like 2 turns and I win.
Game 2 I have 2 wins and fake him out with the burning wish followed by belcher for....enough, 40 or so.

Round 3 - Dan with U/G/R Thresh: 1-2 (He was a nice guy and gave me a win cause he was leaving).

Game 1 he counters my initial attempt and some how top deck into the 1 needle in his main the turn after I resolve belcher with no lands in my deck and a guide in hand.
Game 2 I have to deal with 2 pyroclasms, 2 needles, and 4 stifles. Of coarse he draws like a ton of all that and gets 2 goyf to beat my face.

Round 4 - Chris with Truffle: I.D.

Quarterfinals - Mike with Sui: 0-2

Game 1 I mull to five in order to get a win condition and he starts with dark rit, 2 carnophages, and a duress...Game Over.
Game 2 I can't go off turn one but I have 2 wins so I think I will be ok...Nope, Unmask and Duress on turn one. Another case of Game Over.

Overall I had a good time...There was not much more to this report...I lost. But belcher is still busted all out. See everyone at Flint!
