I was telling a friend about an epic tournament report, but couldn't recall all the details and want to find it again.
The protagonist of the report was on storm. Opponent has lethal on board and a Tormod's Crypt in play. Storm player cannot win without his Yawgmoth's Will. He ended up casting Will, allowing Crypt to remove his graveyard, but then before Will resolved creating a new graveyard at instant speed by going Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual... more shenanigans I can't recall. Eventually wins the match(/tourny, i think?) by braining really hard.
The report was super old- like, currently archived from a defunct site so that there wasn't any site formatting- and I have no clue where on this site I would have first read it. Nothing immediately leapt out at me from the 17 pages of the 'archived tournament reports' section. Anyone know where I could find this gem?

That was an Eric Becker trick that he would bust out regularly.

Sounds like a ridiculously skilled player. Unfortunate that I never had the chance to see him tearing motherfuckers apart with a Crypt in play on their side of the field. |

I think there's still temples in South America dedicated to him. |

Yeah, Becker was an incredible player. He moved to South Carolina and retired from Magic in ~2007.

Probably because he foretold the rise of Bill Copes - and that is the Armageddon of anyone else's chance to compete. I think SC is the one place Bill Copes has yet to attend a tourney, so Becker assumed it was the last safe haven. |
