[T-ORGANIZER]

Bumped for awesomeness, mmmm dual lands!

[Tammit67]

Promises to be there, trash talk, etc

[T-ORGANIZER]

up

[rocketrae21]

Hmm right after school starts back up so that means work load should be light. If the weather is good I'll be there

[Big Sexy]

I'm gonna try to make it. If I have the money & a ride I'm there.

[coraz86]

Erie car coming up, prepare to watch really pretty cards not do a whole lot.

Except fishnabubu, who will top4 with his usual brand of weird shit.

[Fry]

The shiny cards will be flung many times ^_^ all 66 of them, seeing as the other 9 have no legal foil versions...

[freakish777]

Obligatory trash talk about Next Level Tempo destroying people's greedy manabases and crushing their skulls with Tarmogoyf.

[T-ORGANIZER]

I am extremely interested to see what people are piloting these days.

[Rancorous Fool]

Its a shame Bryant is too scared to come out and play.

[The Pharmacist]

I'll be there!

[Nightmare]

I plan to show up. I'll be playing a deck I've never played before, for certain.

[rocketrae21]

Go Lands! I can finally play it after having it built for so long

[Big Sexy]

I'll be there!

Seriously? What happened to "I'm broke" and "fuck legacy"?

[The Pharmacist]

Seriously? What happened to "I'm broke" and "fuck legacy"?

I am broke and fuck legacy! I ready to play vs the same 3 decks all day

[Jim Higginbottom]

I think we have 2 cars coming...

[Joe_C]

I want to go but do not want to make the 4 HR trek from CT by myself. If anyone from CT needs a lift PM me.

[chinEsE girl]

Obligatory trash talk about Next Level Tempo destroying people's greedy manabases and crushing their skulls with Tarmogoyf.

Make that two copies of NLT crushing skulls

[Jim Higginbottom]

I'm sorry, 3 cars coming.

[T-ORGANIZER]

I'm sorry, 3 cars coming.

I love it when you talk dirty to me :)

[JonBarber]

Make that two copies of NLT crushing skulls

Possibly three!

[Michael Keller]

Possibly three!

Thats the stuff!

No, I wish I was certain on what I'm playing. I've been playtesting like 10 decks in prep

[Tammit67]

Possibly three!

make it four

[Joe_C]

I had someone lined up to make the trip with me, but alas, they can't make it now. Does anyone from CT need a lift? I'm considering even going by myself, but that close to 4 hour drive is a bitch

[akazukinchacha]

I am coming down from Buffalo. I know it's a long shot... but if any other Buffalo players need a ride, let me know via pm or aim.

[TheBirdMan]

My crew will be there and I made a deck that has broken leyline of punishment. You will be able to see it in the t8.

[rocketrae21]

Anyone from the Wilkes Barre/Scranton area going down that I could catch a ride with? It would make my decision to come to this a lot easier

[Fry]

I'll probably just scrub out again... Coraz86 and Fishnabubu will be in the top 8 though, I am quite sure about this fact.

[T-ORGANIZER]

im liking what im hearing, sounds like this will be a great turnout.

[rocketrae21]

Can we PLEASE get a vintage side event going at this?
Eli, I know that you can run them but I actually want to do one. Come on people. Its fun!

[Mister Agent]

I love it when you talk dirty to me :)

I love it when I talk dirty.

[marit]

I am definitely going to this. If anyone from Syracuse needs a ride or just wants to split gas money, PM me.

[coraz86]

I'll probably just scrub out again... Coraz86 and Fishnabubu will be in the top 8 though, I am quite sure about this fact.

Your dad will also top 8 with his entirely white-bordered beard

Not sure if black-bordered beards are really better, I guess we'll see on Saturday

[jrsthethird]

How do people feel about a reject rare draft side event?? One of my friends recently did this and he said it was a blast, but they only got 6 people. I'm sure if people brought 45 individual shit rares this would be a good time to relieve the pain of scrubbing out.

Joseph Stempo, planning on scrubbing out before he even gets in the car!

[jrsthethird]

If I scrub out and get to reject rare draft, it would be worth it. I don't plan on scrubbing out, though.

[Rancorous Fool]

Rochester has 12 or 13 coming at this point.

[Parcher]

NoVa has at least eight coming.

[mchainmail]

Lehigh University Proper has 5, and maybe that many more from surrounding areas, although nobody wants to be organized.

[T-ORGANIZER]

im liking the sounds of this! =)

Vintage Side Event will be created and advertised, the rest is not in my hands Dan Rae ;)

[Michael Keller]

50/50 I'll be there. If I do, reserve a spot in the Top Eight for me.

Counting me? I'm driving Harry as well.

[mchainmail]

Not counting you; you already know we had a full car, and I hadn't heard any definite plans.

[Michael Keller]

I will unfortunately be unable to attend this event (which sucks on more levels than the depths of Hell) because of duty.

*Sigh*

Guess that's that sometimes.

I guess that opens up your top 8 spot.

[mchainmail]

Dibs.

[Madpeep]

For anyone who didn't already know, Connecticut sucks. I've called/texted/emailed over 20 people and couldn't get one single person to travel with me to the tournament. I'm still a maybe Eli, heh

[Michael Keller]

Is there live feed for this event?

[coraz86]

I'd like to already put up slops for my immune system and Erie in general for keeping me stuck at home today.

Also, +1 to the live feed request, if I can't be there in person I'd like to vicariously get thisclose to winning through other people.

[Michael Keller]

I'm watching the live feed, and Dave Price's opponent was being a complete douche after losing. I hate when players lose close games and find some excuse to make themselves feel better some way, often times taking credit away from the talent of the person that won.

Nice work, Dave.

[Fry]

slops for erie were that we both didn't place, I droped after round two and got into the draft and split the box which my half had enough stuff to pay for the full box, so that was pretty sweet ^_^ Also got to play with my shiny cube some too.

[TheShaun]

Any top 8 update and/or overpopular deck?

[mchainmail]

Any top 8 update and/or overpopular deck?


Gerry T CB was popular, and a lot of rogue stuff. I played Lands, lost to DStompy rd 1, Thopters rd 6 and Ooze Reanimator rd 7.

[munkie]

I won with 4c CounterTop.

Top 8 was

Eric English- Next Level Tech
Nick Patnods- Gobbos
Chris C (Token)- Thopter Control
Dave Price- New Horizons
Me- CounterTop
Dude playing Green and Taxes
Seneca H. with Junk
Other deck I can't remember.

Token beat Nick
Alex beat Eric
Dave beat Seneca
Green and Taxes beats Other Deck

Token beats Green and Taxes
Alex beats Dave

Alex beats Token

Not a fan of Blood Moon eh? And I can't say I'm happy if CB is going to become the DTB again :(

[timmycolossus]

Munkie I made top 8 and the name is Brandon Crosdale. "Green and Taxes" I beat junk (Seneca) and lost to Token. I am the other black guy.

[cwt1220]

Slops:
The guard rail that I hit that ruined Team L4W's chances of making it. Goddamn icy shoulder.

Is everyone ok? Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

[cwt1220]

We were fine, thanks. The car was ok to drive home, but not good enough to make it to the tournament.

i was one of the dream halls players. Had a lot of fun gained a lot of experience and shored up a lot of early play mistakes. Looking forward to the next one, who knows what I'll be running by then.

[rocketrae21]

Woo go lands! Too bad I suck at my zoo match up and Magus of the Moon just isn't fun

Surprised to see only one Dredge player. Another big win for Team Left Field!

[Parcher]

Was this reported to the DCI? It still doesn't show.

Eli said elsewhere: "the tournament file was somehow slightly off, but we sent it in to wizards to be fixed, we are hoping they will have it soon."

[T-ORGANIZER]

WER still has many bugs, but Wizards Mods are very helpful. We are hoping they complete the submittal soon.

[Parcher]

.....aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddd still not reported.

[T-ORGANIZER]

.....aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddd still not reported.

Sorry, again its in Wizards hands, we submitted it. Contact them and apply some pressure and they might be more inticed to speed it up.

[Parcher]

What about updating the qualifier points?

This: http://store.jupitergamesonline.com/sites/default/files/qualpoints/QualifierPoints.htm

is definitely off. I know for myself and Dave Price at least.

[munkie]
