[Joblin Velder]

I cannot wait to humiliate Travis with Tin Street Hooligan beat down, again. I didn't even need to kill artifacts with them!

Take it to the street

[M.Solymossy]

That is classic.  Very classic.  I prefer this, though:

[JR]

Team Reflection is coming back to fully dominate this event. We're gonna beat you all down like its 06, and Night's Whisper Slaver was the best deck ever.

[Kowal]

Stop giving away my tech, noob.

[M.Solymossy]

Stop giving away my tech, noob.

Wait... you're alive?

[JR]

I'm not giving away tech.....Everybody knows we're just throwing a curveball.

I'm putting everyone on alert: Team Reflection has done what Meandeck was never able to do. We have finally broken retract combo.

[mdenny]

Even after an unsuccessful trip to Boston, I'm pretty sure that I will be able to the other two Foil Welders to a set, however if this is unsuccessful, I still have some other prizes to add to the top 8 if we hit  high attendance numbers. I have a NM Beta Time Vault if we get towards the 45-50 person mark, I also have a set of Foil Wastelands that can go to second if we get somewhere into the mid 30's. Also the pearl should be going out if we hit around 35-40 players depending on the winner's prefference. Assuming I can finish the set of welders, even if we do not hit the attendance to make giving away a full set feasable which I think is probably around 35-40 players, I will give priority to the winner to buy/trade for the rest of the set at some sort of discount. Furthermore, I hope to have ~$500 in cash to buy cards as prizes for my next tournament so bring all your cool stuff and you can turn it into cash or more cool stuff from my collection. Hope to see you all in three weeks!

Oh man, you guys have no idea how utterly and completely Team Reflection is going to own this event.  I'm going to start out as Black/Red Squirrels and sideboard into OSE.  I personally guarantee that at least one of my opponents will have a nervous breakdown while seated at the match table, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.  So we should probably have some psychiatric care personnel on hand.

Let me put it another way.  You know how those GG's noobs commemorate those rare occasions when they eke out fluke wins over Reflection by custom designing sweatshirts so they can continuously relive the experience?  If Reflection were do the same thing to document how epically we are going to obliterate Team GG's, we would need to develop our own line of clothing to make sure every bit of sweet ownage is included.  No, more than that-- we would need to emerge as the latest big fashion designers and flood the clothing markets just to sell off the excess from our closets and attics.  

We would need to come up with so many articles of "Team Reflection > GG's" clothing that thrift stores would go out of business because there'd be so much excess production that everyone in the United States, no, the world, could just pick up a "Kowal > Brassman" sweatshirt for free.  Those scantily-clad indigenous peoples who are native to poor, undeveloped nations who you see in National Geographic?  Yeah, they'd be clad, from head to toe, in "Demonic Attorney > Outlaw" attire.

This event looks like it may hit the highest attendance rate of any local tournament in New England in 2009.  Old favorites are just jumping out of the woodwork to get in on this.  If I were Brassman, I'd start my recruiting pitch now; maybe if Reflection was so outnumbered that we had to play singlehandedly against 2-headed giant units of new GG's additions, then maybe GG's might have a fighting chance.  

[Marske]

@DA,
No Team R&D love? Did I miss something and did Reflection just come back from the Dead .... I must agree though, having Team Reflection AND Team R&D lay the smack down on Team GG's would be enough to deplete the worlds fabrics (not to mention the fabric of time and space itself.)

[Kowal]

DA missed the part about four-color Sensei that transforms in to Dragon...  Kilnmouth Dragon.

Type one dinosaurs:  Get off your rocking chairs, before you get blown off them by intense blasts of awesome.

I might be insulted if it wasn't for the fact I haven't felt in months

[failtofind]

I promise this will happen.

team Tough Shit will be making an appeirance

[Bill Copes]

This is the best thread in the history of the internet.

[T00L]

This is the best thread in the history of the internet.

Just so you know posting in this thread counts as a prereg. You're now obligated to attend.

[mdenny]

Well I've been Jumping through hoops to try and find the other two foil Welders and it appears that I may have to just spend the money and ebay it, which is fine because its really important to me to put up awsome prizes . However I would feel a bit better knowing roughly how many people are definitely planning on comming. This is for two reasons. The first is that my grilfriend and I are planning on baking chocolate chip cookies for the players (especially those who show up at least a half an hour early to register and fill out deck reg sheets and make things run smoothly) and I wana know how many to bake. Secondly I have access to more chairs and tables and I would like to know if I need to bring them. Thanks in advance and see you all in a couple of weeks!

dude, you're gonna need A LOT OF CHAIRS AND COOKIES.  I CAN'T CONFIRM IM GONNA BE THERE, BUT IM GONNA DO EVEYTHING IN MY POWER TO GET THERE

[Juggernaut GO]

no cookies, how about a free 8 ball and a hooker with tournament entry instead?

[iamfishman]

I am carpooling with at least a few.

(Wicketsnatching anyone?)

[Demonic Attorney]

Preregistration plus at least 2.

[JR]

I'll be there. I don't think I'm brining anyone.

[Twaun007]

I'll be there. I don't think I'm brining anyone.

There is a little space reserved in your heart for me so I'll be there with you. 

Plus, I'll be dominating RIW the same day.

[Kowal]

In.  Bitches.

[JR]

Twaun has pleadged to play the same deck as me, no matter how bad it is, so it's kind of like I'll be dominating the dojo in two different states in the same day.

[Diakonov]

(Wicketsnatching anyone?)

Excellent.  There are truly some who are coming out of the woodwork.

As it turns out, I will be in NYC for most of the weekend, but I will do my best to still make it if I get back in time Sunday morning.

[Pern]

(Wicketsnatching anyone?)

For really reals? And Kowal? Phelon's already been.
Now we just need Mykeatog and what's his name who invented T1 Madness.
You have to bring your thespian buddy, too.

[Kowal]

Mykeatog and Bowers would be pretty funny.  And someone should persuade Chris K to show up.

[Juggernaut GO]

well with any luck I'll be 0-2 and hunting milfs in the food court by 2 pm

[Meddling Mike]

I highly encourage those who are not otherwise obligated to come donate their money to buy Team Reflection some new foil goblin welders, as the outcome is by no means in doubt. The REAL question to be answered is how we will divide and use the foil goblin welders after they are won.

A few of our preliminary ideas:
1. Burn them as a lighting source for a victory cigar.
2. Tear them into many pieces and hand them out to team members, which we can then recombine the pieces to summon Rich Shay a la Captain Planet.
3. Sharpie them into some epically cool Mountain Goat proxies. Ian Mulligan's Thornweald Archers tech may stop Goblin Welders, but once that Taiga hits the battlefield there's simply no stopping the mountain goat!
4. Behead them and put them on a stake as a warning to other Goblin Welders.
5. Chastise them for ruining our metal guys...WTF are we going to do with an ashtray? We don't even smoke!
