Yes, I lost money on the main event and yes I played in the Extended side event to try and recoup some money as well as fill in as the 8th man.  Thanks to Matt McCormick for helping TO this event.

So even though we're probably not going to hold it at the Adventurer's Guild, I've been toying with the idea of restricting Gush and unrestricting Gifts Ungiven for the next tournament.  Objections?

[T00L]

Oh man if you do that i'll be there

[Sage]

I don't think you have reported the standings correctly.  I beat Paul Mastriano 2-0 in round 4 and played Mike Knight in the first round of T8.  I was playing Rector Flash. 

To avoid confusions like this in the future, slips of paper with each players name on them with the results of the match and their signitures is what is used at most events to submit match results.

[Midknight]

Ill be there, im already sick of seeing gush decks, all over the place.

[Smmenen]

Ill be there, im already sick of seeing gush decks, all over the place.

Josh, Justin, and Paul's decklists did not have Gush

Josh, Justin, and Paul's decklists did not have Gush

As if it mattered...

[Sage]

Thanks for fixing the standings desolutionist.  I appreciate it.

In the matters of restricting Gush for the next tournament, I would be opposed to restricting Gush, but I would not be opposed to unrestricting Gifts Ungiven.  I would really like to see how Gifts decks match up with Gush decks.  I think it would make for a very interesting tournament.

I do hope that there will be more tournaments in Harrisburg.  It's nice to have a tournament within 2hrs drive.

I don't think you have reported the standings correctly.  I beat Paul Mastriano 2-0 in round 4 and played Mike Knight in the first round of T8.  I was playing Flash Rector. 

Finally, someone other than in Minnesota plays Rector Flash.   I see you've got green in your deck for your Dryad/Fastboard sideboard strategy.  How did that work out for you? 

[plasma]

Me and a couple friends will try to make it up to the next one.  Turns out Harrisburg is only an hour away from us.  How often do you guys put this on?

[Sage]

I liked the strategy but, to my dismay, I didn't see a game 2 leyline in any of the 5 matches I played.  I saw other people playing them game 2 in other games.  I guess I just faced people without Leyline side (not a good idea in my oppinion).  The Dryads beat face in 3/5 game 2's.  I actually had a huge Dryad once and just tendrils for the win anyway.  

The only match that I didn't feel I had an answer for other than winning turn 1 was my Stax matchup.  How does Flash beat first turn Sphear of Resistance BOTH games?  I may have been a little light on mana, but I don't think it mattered too much with Stax coming down T2 with Wasteland backup.  Workshop is soooooo broken.  Even if I had a H.'s Recall in hand it would have been tough to cast and I would have had to go off imediately.  Playing against Stax reminds me how good Duress is.  

[Sage]

Desolutionist, would you mind posting the T8 pairings if you have the time?  Thanks.
