Nick, a slight warning, i am a horrid photographer,  Also, i don't do the Facebook thing. Do you want me to send you a zip file of all them (on a site like Rapidshare)? Or do you want them posted here as thumbnails with funny captions? Mind you after removing terrible blurry dupes, it is 184 MB's, so i don't think i can email them all. I hope you got the picture of the second stall in TGIF. EPIC |

EPIC Well, well, look who it is,  I do not have that picture and believe that will help me to live a happier and more productive life, ultimately. Obviously i will get you those pictures too. You got a preference between RapidShare, Megaupload, Hotfile, DepositFile, Filesonic? Is is telling i know so many of those off the top of my head,  |

Ha, nice, welcome to the show good sir. And you know Facebook and I really don't see eye to eye, I forget that kids now-a-days are streamers too. You know me, if it can't be hoarded, it is not worth anything. Here, this should be simple for everyone, even the not technologically inclined; Click here hit the Regular Download, wait for the 60 second countdown (it will be in red text), and then hit the Click Here To Download link that the page will become. Like i said, i deleted some dupes and super blurry ones, so this is the distilled version. |

I went 4-0-2 in the swiss with Bob TPS and in top 8 lost because when I desired for 4 couldn't flip at least 2 nonlands (with only 5 lands left in my deck)... What's worse is that I just Tendrilsed him to 2 since he Dark Confidant in play. He reveals Mox Sapphire, takes a damage from Mana Vault, and then draws Demonic Consultation for Painter's Servent (Grindstone in play)!  |

UR landstill was my buddy Asa Fritz that top 8'd loosing to fish!...Awsome deck and very fun to play, pretty good vs the current meta. Me and him played the same deck, unfortunately i lost to double lodestone double port, mud match. Then lost to dredge. Normally landstill beats mud but not this time. Congrats to shawn, asa, and dave. Awsome tournament Nick!

I went 4-0-2 in the swiss, then promptly got blown out in 2 games in top 8. Game 1 I kept decent hand with 2 land, Ancestral, Divining Top, Spell Pierce in what I know is a Tezz mirror. He plays land, Mox, Lotus, Jace, Vampiric...Game 2 I keep land, Sapphire, 2x confidant, pierce, Jace. He FOWs Confidant, then he plays land, mox, sol ring, voltaic key, tinker for time vault!
In other matches I believe UR Landstill lost to fish, and then there was another fish deck and a Storm deck. There were infinite Trygon Predators at this tourney.
I guess that pretty much reinforces the theory that tezz isn't that hard to play, wouldn't you say? Yeah one unfortunate consequence of Jace is that now drawing Black Lotus in your opener is even better than it was already. I also lost a game in round 1 to first turn land, mox, lotus, ancestral, Jace. Although, I certainly would have also lost both these games to Land, Mox, Lotus, Tezzeret. It is obvious that all Vintage decks will have many games where there is very little skill involved. That is the nature of the format. I actually think that, in general, the format is just not very skill intensive compared to other Magic formats. When I said that I thought Tezz was difficult to play, I just meant in relation to other Vintage decks. I didn't mean that I thought that it got all of it wins through tough plays and Magic skillz. In game 2, where you just unable to find a Nature's Claim before his second turn? You saw two more cards, and just couldn't dig anything up? Also, in terms of the skill question, what about the issue of deck selection, here? Mirror matches are notoriously random in every format, no? Isn't it true that you could have played a deck that could arguably handle those hands? |

Well, he FOWed my Confidant, so I actually only drew one card. Also I had no green mana, and I'm not even sure I had any Nature's Claims in that game as my sideboard plan has been changing a bit. And yes there are theoretical draws and decks that could handle those draws, of course. In one case he had FOW, and in the other he Vampiriced for it and immediately brainstormed into it, so yes I suppose any deck that could pump out two different cards that turn the tide would have done much better in that spot. I would certainly play more FOWs if I could. |
