Twaun, I think you misunderstood me.  I'm pretty sure that I said: "Everyone on GWS and MeanDeck think you're not even competitive."

I don't even have a deck yet for Saturday.  What works good in a sea of Ichorid decks?

SuckedBackIn, I'm liking the looks of this list.  Here's my take on it:

12 Swamp
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine

1 Black Lotus
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mox Jet

4 Dark Ritual

4 Extirpate
4 Leyline of the Void
4 Pithing Needle
4 Planar Void
4 Relic of Progentis
4 Tormod's Crypt
4 Yixlid Jailer
3 Withered Wretch
1 Demonic Consultation
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Imperial Seal
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Yawgmoth's Will

LOL at yawgmoths will

I would be there, but I have tickets to the Ohio State/Michigan game that day.  Go Ohio!  Have fun everyone!

Doesn't Michigan have like 8 losses already?  How is that even worth seeing this year?  As Jerry would say, it's not even competitive.

You don't understand the rivalry.  Michigan can salvage its season by beating Ohio State.   It's gonna be  a huge game.

I will certainly be supporting the Maize and Blue at Saturday's event.
Steve, didn't you go to Ohio University? I'm fairly confident that OU is a completely different school than "the" Ohio State University.
I have no idea about your law school though so shed some light or did you just grow up a fan?

@yatagirlofchaos: Yawgmoth's Will and Planar Void are a combo.  The synergy between the two cards is just nutty.   Wink

I'm excited about this event.  Cleveland is bringing the heat the second time around with more than a dozen players.  Does Pennsylvania have what it takes to keep its power in state?

Gay list of Ichorid hate........

Yangtime..... We tested this matchup. At best your list wins 3 out of 27 games.

2 more days until the Pittsburgh metagame gets blown apart.

Moeller is 100% confirmed and will be there Saturday! He will have artist proofs ($4 ) and he does sketch them(included with the price). Also, he will do a sketch on a larger sheet of paper ($10) I assume he will have prints with him as well.

Also, Mr. Nice Guy Games is a fully stocked shop. If you need any singles or supplies, they're equipped! - REALLY good prices as well.
I beleive they will be buying, so if you have rares to unload I'd say bring them.

Hope everyone is excited for this!

THIS EVENT IS GONNA ROCK SOCKS!
My socks have always had a very firm anti-rock policy.
I will need to consult with their administration to find out what I can do in light of this notice.
Perhaps I will need to attend without my socks.
Due to the weather, this may be an issue.

Luckily, my deck will consist of...
PURE GASOLINE!!!

Meandeck tyrant Stephan "Q" Menendian isn't going to be there so I have nothing to fear. It is like beating up on Mangalores without a leader.

Twaun, the bill of your hat, it's very crisp, sir.

Anyway, this is going to be awesome.  Everyone should be there so they can watch me take down the finals in a total of three turns.

Hmmm.... I would say that Meandeck is more of a godhead. You may not have the father present, but the son and holy spirit will be there to pwn u.

Oh noooo's! Tell me you didn't sign the Meandeck contractual agreement!?!?!?!?!?!???!!!!!! I held a copy once. One hundred and one pages bound in the flesh of lost children, written with the blood of 66 virgins, and edited by the dark lord himself, Stephen Q Menedian. Is he still making you guys sign that in blood?

So is everyone clear on the plan to flood the tournament with Ichorid?  You can use any build you want as long as it contains 4 Bazaars and 4 Bridges from Below.  How many people will use the ninja-tech of the Oath sideboard?  No one will see that coming!

I cannot wait for the 15+ people from C-town to show up with 15+ Ichorid decks. Billy D. aka Bill Dredginton is guna be in the hizzy! I can't wait to dredge all over 3swampsnecropotencefizzle's ballin play mat.

That's why you just board into Oath and do the Oath vs. Oath matchup instead!

(August 18, 2008, 04:00:36 PM) Ok, Gentleman's agreement... no Long and no Ichorid... everyone agree?

hahahahahhahaha it is going to be ripe with Ichorid vs. Ichorid siding into Oath vs. Oath.

1 less person that Billy D has to pown. It also gets me one match closer to powning 3swampsNecropotenceFizzle and other Meandeckers.

The last time we went there, we just parked on the street about three stores down.  It seemed like there really wasn't any kind of problems with parking last time.  A bunch of us plan on going to Primanti Brothers before and after the tournament.  I plan on getting to the Primanti Brothers at 6 Anchor Dr Pittsburgh, PA 15238 around 11:30am for a pre-tournament feast.  Feel free to join us!

LOL O Twaun.. Ichorid and I are boyz.... that deck has won me a good bit of Power...Also, Baitnbludgen did not sign the contract in blood, he's not a Meandecker.. unless we got a subsection of cheerleaders I didn't know about?
- I did however sign the contract and it was signed using your tears from losing!

-In terms of parking: there is plenty of street parking, no lot unfortunetly. Sometimes, you have to park a bit up the street, but not to far (anticipate that into arrivial time 5-10 min. to find parking, park and get to store.)
and Jerry I will try to get there in the morning to join.. I will have Meandeck Willie and possibily Lyle with me.


-desolutionist , Man that sux! We were all hoping you were making it back out, are the other philly guys coming out still? What's the word?

I shed 1 tear for every 1000 souls I crush in Magic the Gathering. I am honored that you used my tears to authorize the shackles of Meandeck in which bind you to an eternity of servitude.

Twaun, you can't count crying in your sleep.  Though you may often dream of crushing dudesweats in a magical duel, I've yet to see it happen in real life.

You best be stepping up this Saturday.

I think Twaun mostly has nightmares about Channeled out Darksteel Colossi, rampaging through is life destroying everything he loves.  That's a good story, Twaun.  You should share.

One day at my friend Shocktroopa's house, a small contingent of the Cleveland crew decide to Emperor Winston
 draft the the Cube. Well, Mr. Lochinvar81 drafted Channel and Darksteel Colossus and  turned 1 him'd out against me twice. I turned EMO man 86 and almost left in disgust. That's the story folks.

I guess I will be getting my revenge at the Tourney.

I cannot stress how awesome this tourney is going to be! On a scale from 1 to 10, it's going to be off the meat rack! If you live remotely close to Pittsburgh, get there!

Well Gang,
I'm off to the airport to pick up a player flying in from Chicago!

This will be my last post before the event... In agreement with Twaun, if you live anywhere close and you play vintage, or have thought about playing.. do so! This is going to be a great event with A LOT of folks.. not only competitive, but casual. Everyone at this store is friendly and out to have a good time.

Can't wait to see everyone at the event.. make a point to say hello to me, as I love meeting memebers of the Magic community.

For the rest of you, I will do my best to get a TO report out by Sunday afternoon: including decklists, pictures any anything else I deam entertaining.

SEE YA THERE- Tell em' Mr. Nice Guy sent you!
