Jaco had 4 Gifts Ungiven?  No wonder he made top 8.

[JACO]

Jaco had 4 Gifts Ungiven?  No wonder he made top 8.

Yeah, that's an obvious error, not by me. I don't play 63 card decks.

Fun tournament!

[magicbmx]

I was gonna say if he did then i was luckier then i did to beat him.  To be honest though i took second the list needs some tweaking like the voids out of main and maybe something else.  Also i threw this list together from another report on here and well i wasnt thinking so thorns should of been sphere because there was more aggro then i thought at this.  Congrats to dan Winning but dam that spree that blew me out and still almost winning lol. 

[M.Solymossy]

So Jaco, you only had 3 red blast effects in your whole deck?





Nothing but love though, Jaco.

[magicbmx]

IDK his deck seems really good even with just 3 in the board.  If me i would run 4 atleast but well idk seeing i dont think he was thinking to see goblins plus that rg aggro thing i beat round 5.  Its ok against me but idk if its worth it just for welder would help i know that but for 4 cards lol.  I am telling u soly if i pull that can of effort out my butt next month i may not even know what to say and that is really hard to do for me lol

[LordHomerCat]

I am pretty sure I don't have any idea what you were trying to say in the above post magicbmx, but if there was some sort of apology to Soly for outdrawing him (I think that was the last sentence?), I recommend you keep it to yourself.  Soly could be playing a block deck against your vintage deck and he would still complain every time you won.  Don't take it to heart =p

I could be playing a vintage deck against your block deck and I'd still complain, to be fair....

[magicbmx]

Meh its all good trust me.  To me making top 8 was crazy enough.  Also if u hadnt figured it out by now i am joey and well what can i say lol.  No no never mind on the last one just meh.  As for the tourny as a whole though it was very good.  Only down side for me was making play errors that if i played type one longer i could of advoided or like in game one of finals i should of mulled my opening hand

He was talking to me, as he was the one who beat me in the Top 8, with my alleged 4 Gifts Ungiven config.

Welcome to TMD Joey, and congrats on your performance. Even if you think you're a newb, just keep practicing and playing when you can, as we'd love to see more fresh faces around the tournaments.

Soly, yes I only have 3 REBs currently. Don't be mad; I could have actually drawn any of my other relevant spells that do something, rather than just counter your stuff. ; )

[magicbmx]

Well jaco u will see me somemore atleast at extreme and other local stuff.  Was maybe thinking about ohio but i want to tweak that shop deck a little and just no cash.  I know i got kinda lucky in the fact u didnt draw much.  I only think it because i really didnt play vintage before but i have the hang of it now and well its not that hard lol. 

[M.Solymossy]

I only think it because i really didnt play vintage before but i have the hang of it now and well its not that hard lol. 

I think this statement is drastically exaggerated based on you only playing 1 event, but this is a discussion for another time.

[OwenTheEnchanter]

Nah hes right, its pretty easy.

[magicbmx]

I didnt mean easy in like the field.  I meant it as being able to run My deck decent.  Trust me i know the feild wasnt easy. 

[LordHomerCat]

Nah hes right, its pretty easy.

I agree, seriously.

[bottle_gnomes]

It was fun except for losing to mana crypt and my own demonic consultation...twice.

[TheOrangePet]

Great event. If only I would've played a real deck. Like with real cards.

Like not Storm Entities.

[magicbmx]

Orange were u the one playing rg with the apes and all that.  Also bottle ya that was pretty bad seeing u had me that turn i think but well ya.   

[TopSecret]

Owen,
do you think PT Berlin.dec is competitive,
or is it just another joke deck, like Intuition-Demigod.dec?

[TheOrangePet]

Orange were u the one playing rg with the apes and all that.

Mhm. Gorilla Shaman won at least 1 game on the day. Storm Entity is just so bad, I had to play it to believe it.

[magicbmx]

Oh ok so i think u were the one i played round 5.  Ya the mox monkeys are very good and well if i played mono red shop i would play them but well in 5 color its hard lol.  Ya i didnt like storm entity in type2 and well idk less removal in type 1 but he isnt great.  Not sure what u can play in there place though

[TheOrangePet]

I'll be adding white to the deck, along with some real cards.

Again, great event, great store, great people to play cards with. Hopefully I'll see some of you in Milwaukee on 1/10. Later.

[M.Solymossy]

I'll be adding white to the deck, along with some real cards.

My list of real cards:
ancestral recall
time walk
brainstorm
fact and/or fiction
gifts ungiven

[magicbmx]

Soly that was orange that said that not me.  Also to orange u may see me up there just have to see how next month goes lol.  Soly i know u play real cards i would never think u didnt

[LordHomerCat]

Soly that was orange that said that not me.  Also to orange u may see me up there just have to see how next month goes lol.  Soly i know u play real cards i would never think u didnt

Too bad he also plays stuff like Repeal and Mind Twists to go with those real cards.

[M.Solymossy]

Soly that was orange that said that not me. 

Sorry, I was cutting down the quote and apparently I cut out the wrong names... my bad.

[magicbmx]

Its all good.  Trust me i mean look at mine main deck leyline i mean omg so bad lol

[TheOrangePet]

I'll be adding white to the deck, along with some real cards.

My list of real cards:
ancestral recall
time walk
brainstorm
fact and/or fiction
gifts ungiven

Touche.

Consider my comment through my perspective though. Lets be honest, an Elder Land Wurm could qualify as a real card when held up against Storm Entity.

[magicbmx]

Ya i can see how that is true but think about it i mean maindeck leyline what was i thinking keeping them in lol.  Called maybe i should of gone with my gut and cut them but i didnt know what the hell to put in for them now i do lol

[M.Solymossy]

Holy Run-Ons Batman!!!  This thread is out of control!

...I like it.
