[Gulkahn]

who's coming?

[Nemcon]

I'll probably be there, depends on what I need to get done that weekend before finals.

[Jander78]

I'm there!

[Zach Tartell]

I'll be sure to delay the event twenty minutes.

[That kid you all hate]

odds are that I'll be there.

[Michael Keller]

More than likely...I'll be home for this.

[The Pharmacist]

odds are that I'll be there.

That makes me not want to go.

[Iamfishman]

Same day as regionals?...I mean...I'll prob go, but will others?

[Michael Keller]

More than likely...I'll be home for this.

Correction: I WILL be home for this!!!

[Shriekmaw]

Correction: I WILL be home for this!!!


It will be nice to see you back with magical cards.

[Bryant Cook]

I will be there. My last day of college is the 14th. Be prepared.

[Gulkahn]

if we get 80+ players the prizes are doubled! the last one we had 70 players. so let's go for 80!

[bigbear102]

I might be able to make an appearance at this. My presence alone should draw an extra 25-30 people.

[Michael Keller]

I hate to ruin your Epic circle-jerk, but the only thing you'll see is me holding up 400 dollars in my dress whites.

Then I'm taking that money, and donating it all to charity for the Paradise Found Institution for Hungry Strippers.

I might save some to go see Wolverine.

[Jaynel]

That pretty much sums up last summer before I left. You may be able to cast a quadrillion spells against me, but apparently you can't handle the task of dealing with a 500+ dollar, 1/1 white-border beat-down.

[Mulletus]

1/1 white-border beat-down.

[TrialByFire]

Jared - Carpool or something? You still down in Middletown?

EDIT: Lamesauce. My brother's college graduation is this day.

I'm going to play my new deck there, Seems like a good place to finally see how good it is.

[Bryant Cook]

Nick Wowelko with a new deck!?! I'll be at the event now!

Your going to like WTF is this pile of garbage? It's going to be awesome.

[The Pharmacist]

Your going to like WTF is this pile of garbage? It's going to be awesome.

Everything you play is garbage!

[Nemcon]

Out of this, owe too much money I can't afford to play this weekend.

[Shriekmaw]

Everything you play is garbage!


We will see. Remember, if anyone can win with garbage, its me.

[goobafish]

I won't be making it down to this one as it conflicts with a local Legacy Mox event and Regionals. Good luck to all those who do go.

[Zach Tartell]

ATTN: Everybody:
I need to steal the following cards in order to play (and prolly won't show if I can't secure them:

4 Unmask
4 Firestorm
OH GOD I'M PLAYING ICHORID START BUILDING YOUR SIDEBOARDS NOW


I'd buy them on-site, but I'd be spending more than the entry fee (by like fifteen or twenty bucks), and I'd like to avoid that very much (Dear anybody who works at altered: Please lower your prices. Eli has very competitive pricing and still runs badass events and has a good store. Also, please change your name back to Altered. -Z).

In short:
Bring these and I might be so kind as to buy you some reasonable dinner at the food courts even (I need them or I won't be playing).
It's barrowing only, too.
Bring your EDH, but be ready to lose.
FORGIVE ME FATHER FOR I HAVE SINNED, IT HAS BEEN TWO HOURS SINCE MY LAST LIST FUNCTION.

[Nightmare]

I'll be on a plane to sunny Tampa, Florida. So I won't be playing nerd cards with you guys. I know you're all broken up about it. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm straight up not.

[Jaynel]

Anyone from eastern Massachusetts going?

[cdr]

I'll be in New Orleans myself.

[Michael Keller]

I'm honestly bumping this. Deal with it.

Also, let's do some super cheesy top 8 predictions (or ascertain who will be attending or staying home like a Virginian)!

In all fairness the Virginians travel very far for our tourney's and I didn't see very many people from NY at their tourney last weekend.

[Shriekmaw]

Classic meets Legacy this weekend, we will see who will win. :)

If you like them so much, why don't you marry 'em.

I'll be too busy crushing faces to notice who's at the event.

You've been in the Navy so long you could probably use a HJ or a ZJ.

[Michael Keller]

You've been in the Navy so long you could probably use a HJ or a ZJ.

For as long as I have been in the Navy, apparently I can beat "air" up and still have a higher rating than you, you cellar-dweller.

[Gulkahn]

attendance shout out?

just as a reminder: please review the times for the event. doors open at 9:00am deck registration ends at 10:15 and round 1 will begin at 10:30. I will be enforcing this. if your deck reg sheet isn't handed in by 10:15 you will receive a game loss round 1. (not that i want to be a dick - just getting sick of starting almost an hour late for events)

[Zach Tartell]

Sexual Vanilla done got his stuff.

Tremble in fear, boyos. Not Quite Dreadstill is gonna crush some face.

Let`s see if this really happens. I`m all about starting on time!

Is "crushing faces" still code for "getting teabagged"?

What happens in Virginia stays in Virginia. Oh Fuck, I guess not.

[Zach Tartell]

How many Canadians does it take to change a lightbulb?

[mujadaddy]

How many Canadians does it take to change a lightbulb?So they can both watch the hockey game!

Am I doin' it rite?

[Michael Keller]

I get into Syr. tonight at 1150...I'll 100% be there.

[Bryant Cook]

Is "crushing faces" still code for "getting teabagged"?

No. It's now the code to "Cleveland Steamer Parcher's mother".

[Michael Keller]

In N.C.! Flight leaves in an hour. Syracuse, beware:

[Michael Keller]

I was out partying with strippers for free all night in uniform after getting off a 1,000 mile flight with three hours of sleep and a ruthless hangover after being in "A" school for six months. I think I did well given the circumstances.

[Pinder]

Countersliver (No idea, mass guy)



WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT nobody plays that deck.

How did the heretics work out for you? They seem easy to remove.

[T-ORGANIZER]

How did the heretics work out for you? They seem easy to remove.

They were actually very good. They are easy to remove, but only if I walk right into things. Most people let them hit.

[rockout]
