Beta Bash!! Brighton, MI

[umbowta]

oooohh baby, pretty good turnout today. 32 players. I've seen three Goblins, Landstill, RGW Zoo, Ichorid, Enchantress...blah blah blah. First round down so far. I went 2-0 against Landstill and he never dealt a single point of damage to me.

Wilkerson just told me to get a life for bringing my laptop to the tourney and being gay enough to be typing on the source between rounds. I have no life and don't care. Whatever.

[Jaynel]

Haters are gonna hate, but whatever. Keep us posted with updates.

[KrzyMoose]

The Game

[luckymartyr]

Can't wait to hear about the results of this tournament. Because of real life responsibilities I am pretty limited to the number of events that I can play in and was not able to make it. I do intend to go to grand prix indianapolis on June 20-22. On Saturday the 21st they are having a pretty significant Legacy tournament. For someone who hasnt played competitive Legacy in the last year I was wondering if someone could update me on the metagame, as I anticipate scrubbing out of the main event and will likely enter this tournament. (I am assuming that grindstone will be banned June 1st.)

[luckymartyr]

I guess I didn't look at page 2 of this thread, as I would have had my previous question answered. Thanks for posting the decks Dan.

[umbowta]

Well that was fuckin fun! Sorry I haven't kept up with the update but I was waaayy to busy winning a Beta Mox Ruby!!! The best part of the tourney was swinging on turn 4 against Dragon Stompy for 120 in top 4. WOOT. Berserk Stompy takes the day. I'll put a report together later.

[luckymartyr]

Congrats.

First off, thank you so much to everyone for coming out and to all the people, players and staff, for making this a success. I hope to see many of you back soon. Seriously though, this tournament had so many great players it blew my mind. I watch some of the best magic I have ever seen played. Especially in the top 8. Now you asked for them, you got um: (I guess writing "for the lose" next to dan's deck on the meta breakdown kind of jinxed it.)

...and there you have it. Thanks again to everyone, mad props to Chris Walton for providing his opponent a legal bayou in the top 8 saving him from a game loss, and stay tuned to the Melee for all your legacy needs.

P.S. Don't forget Wednesdays 5pm $5 sanctioned legacy at The Melee.

P.S.S. Thanks a bunch to Dave Rappaport and Patrick Becerra for judging and running the event.

9th place ftmfl... umbowta quit Magic

Then again, inertia is a property of matter.

Its really weird when someone else uses the "umbowta" slang contraction I've stolen for my screen name. Besides, 9th place shouldn't make you want to quit magic, Isamaru, especially considering you did so well with that jank ass deck you were playing. You probably should have maindecked a couple of Scryb Sprites or something.

[Patrick]

Word son.

Thanks... I'm thinking of putting in a Bayou and some Rushwood Legates, actually. I can't believe I didn't think of copying things from the 9-land stompy thread before! ...Then again, that's why I'm not the one with the Mox.
