November 29-30...TML Open ?

[Iamfishman]

Would this weekend be good for a TML Open or is its proximity to Thanksgiving a problem?

Discuss

This seems like it would be Tough with thanksgiving and going back to College. I could see making Day 1 but Day would definitely be out of the question for me. Honestly I think for college students in General January is the most open month. :rolleyes: :frown:

[Joe_C]

It works for me! Gets a chance to get out of the house and away from the family after the holiday:wink:

Count me in if you do it that weekend!!!!!

[Nightmare]

I saw TML and popped a boner. Don't care when. I'l figure out a way to be there.

[freakish777]

Could potentially be a problem for me.

[Kadaj]

I'll be there.

[Obfuscate Freely]

From the perspective of an out-of-stater, the date seems nice because I'll have that Friday off already. I would think this would help a lot of people somewhat.

Unfortunately, there will also be people who have already dedicated that weekend to visiting with relatives, so it may be a net loss of attendance.

I'd call it risky, but my brother and I would be there!

Ditto.

Same Here...Drunkin top 8 ftw!

[That kid you all hate]

I can probably go.

[technogeek5000]

there regardless

I'll be spending Thanksgiving in NYC. Brooklyn, specifically. How far is that from the site?

A little over an hour and a half assuming its at GamingETC like usual.

This is a perfect weekend for Magic! Magic players often crave quality events around holidays bc they don't like to over do family stuff.

I would potentially consider Friday and Saturday. Let's be serious Magic players don't shop. Capitalize like a true captilist.

This third of team nameless race will be there.

[mtglordtom24]

Paul's in a team? Nameless Race? What happened to, "The Grid Games?"

[Morphling420]

Sounds like a good weekend to me. Gotta check to see if there are any concerts i hafta work but if not ill be there.

[insertnamehere]

I'm in

[MTG Guru]

Connecticut.

[demoncrovax]

That weekend looks good for me.

[Mirrislegend]

Connecticut.

Specificity ftw?

GamingEtc Tournament Center
555 Lordship Boulevard
Stratford, CT 06615

Does that mean I win? I win anyways...

[Bryant Cook]

Good weekend.

[sunshine]

Pretty much any other weekend would be a go for me.

[BKclassic]

Pretty much any other weekend would be a go for me.

[Zach Tartell]

I think that I can only perform well in every-other-prime-numbered Mana Leak Opens.

So, I'll be skipping this.

(family shit blah blah blah)

[That kid you all hate]

I can probably go.

I'm out, it turns out it's a 5 hour drive from where I live, not worth going to.

[Nemcon]

Hmm...I may be able to go, but I don't know. It really depends when it is...May be able to hit it up on the way back to college that weekend.

Alright here comme the Noob question : what does TML stand for (The Mana Leak???)

Si.

I'll probably have to pass on this tournament. My biggest fear is that it might become another GP:Colombus with Ad Nauseum in the current card pool. This really discourages me from playing. Maybe next one.

Please tell me you're joking.

1) If anything, the first tournament would probably be the Source Tournament if this was even possible.

2) Ad Nauseam does nothing to improve the Threshold/Force of Will match ups. Combo decks go just as "all in" on Ad Nauseam as they have done with Infernal Tutor/Burning Wish. Even the slower decks that pack disruption (Duress/Thoughtseize), still fear Counterbalance and Force of Will. I haven't found a deck packing Ad Nauseam that doesn't lose to Force of Will like most combo decks (with the obvious exception of Ichorid).

3) If you really think this is going to happen, bring Threshold or a deck that packs Force of Will and Daze. You can include Thoughtseize as well. Seriously.

4) Ad Nauseam is not as broken as Flash was. That's a guarantee.

Agreed on the Ad Nauseum analysis, but you have to remember this is Cavius you're speaking to. He hasn't played in a real-life tournament since GP Columbus (1-6-2 with a bye I think...) and hasn't had a winning tournament performance since that well-documented and mindboggling 7th place finish (out of 22, no less) in 2005. This weekend looks good from my perspective & hopefully we can accumulate a good Worcester/central MA presence for a Ray Robillard (read AWESOME) tournament.
