I havea feeling that the ICBM Open will be some of the fiercest competition we have seen in years.  For so long we've been so secluded in our respective metagames - the far Midwest of Wisconsin area, the Ohio area, the Northeast/New England Contingent - and now they're all comming together to play for some serious prizes. 

There are a lot of people out there that won't be able to hack it in such an environement.  Of course I'm talking about the players that aren't on Meandeck.  It's a terrible shame that I haven't had the time to drive all the way out to Milwaukee to take your other prizes, but rest assured that at the end of the weekend, those two Lotuses are going home with us (and probably a couple of the other pieces, too).

Smennen looks smooth in his bow tie, but who's the girl?  I didn't know Meandeck even knew any girls.

That would have been better if you had one of those old Meandeck team photos with Kevin and JP and Carl in them.  I was frankly disappointed when I saw that was just some random asian dudes.  I was expecting Steve's face pasted over one of them at the very least.

There's a Paintshopped line over "Retards United" and the text "Meandeck" added in below it.  This is to subtly say that Meandeck are a bunch of retards.  Also, Doug Linn was said to be the female Asian in the picture.  It works because his last name is "Linn" and equating a man with a female is a jab at his masculinity.  Also, the background color is pink.

Come on man, we're Magic players not comedians.  Are you here to trash talk or psychoanalyze?

Twas the night before vintage, and everyone was happy,
Not a poster was stirring, nothing was crappy,
The errata on Time Vault was to keep it in check,
Until Steve Menendian turned our metagame into a wreck.

This totally made my day. I don't even know what else I could do to insult The Great Cat Lord. Hopefully this pic will turn your tears to laughter.

Can we get a substitution?

I can swap a Broodstar in if you want.  That's the real 9th piece of power.

I'm just throwing this out there, $20.00 to whom ever decides to take soly's challenge and can make him cry for mercy. Ben could just make top 8 enter a steel cage and duke it out for the power, Welcome to Thunderdome bitch!

Either way, this event is going to be insane.

Unfortunately none of them are this particular Judge.

Ben's already got 4 SOLID judges.   Ben made me promise not to tell, but I can't hold it in anymore.

Our judges for this event:

I was really hoping that Ben would have got this judge.


Then we could have a match between Smemmycakes and Kermit the Shay to find out who single-handily rescued Time Vault from oblivion. My money would go on Shay since he has that white kung-fu suit.

Its an old photo from before JDizzle left the team.  Smile

Bulls suck.
Cubs suck.
Sox suck.
Bears suck.

This event sounds like it is going to be a blast!  I am making arrangements to make the trip out.  See  you guys there!

For you poker plaers out there ( due to prior posting in this thread) the crown Victoria in elgin which i just recently played at for the first time is pretty much the biggest herd of donkeys ever in there 1/2.....worse then normal 1/2....i mean there fing bad.  2/5's marginally better and there 5/10 tends to be looses agressive as fuck....so theres a good spot to rape some fish after magic fun
