Expect me there playing Threshold... or Baseruption.

[zetrix]

Ya Know what... I don't even know what I would play if I were to play in a 1.5 tournament... I pretty much only have salvagers put together... and stax... and meathooks... and rifter... and belcher... and tes...

man so many choices.

ehh... or we can go over to this his Deli (Eberts & Gerberts I think?).

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

I might come. If I find a ride. Or develop the ability to fly by then. I'll work on it. God knows I'll get fucked out of the T8 like the last one of thses I played in.

With Tarmogoyf in the deck, I believe it's amazing, only if you believe in the exsistence of Tarmogoyfs (fuck unicorns!) and the heart of the cards.

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

*THEY DO EXIST* Mainly as 5/6's too!

[Citrus-God]

*THEY DO EXIST* Mainly as 5/6's too!

"They do exist! *gasp!

Now to exploit their exsistence to the world and create chaos... "

=O

[Kyachi]

This may signal the end of my three or so month long sabbatical from mtg... Shocking I know, but only if the Fat Kid comes. Otherwise, no dice...

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

If you can pick me up at the the bus stop at the U of M, we shall end your dry streak.

ICBE Reunion! Now I have to bring my digital camera and take pics, so we can imitate the Vintage players at tournaments!

Expect me there with something with Counterbalance and Tarmogoyf...

[Kyachi]

Wouldn't have it any other way baby.

And I have never been on a dry streak...

Just haven't played magic in a while. No dry streak to speak of...

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

Any word yet on which duals will be present for prizes?

[Kyachi]

No word as of yet, at least according to the website, but Jason's been pretty good at providing blue duals. That's why he's God and your just a shmuck.

On a related note, am very excited for this tomfoolery to happen. What's the confirmed guest list?

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

Here's what I can think of, from our crew:

Me
Derek (Kyachi)
Alex (Goblin Snowman)
Melvin (Anti~America)
Corey
Jake - Probably not, too busy smoking weed/playing WoW, but we hope
Ross - yeah, I know
Barry - Lets not press our luck here

Probably all the Monster Denners that I don't know very well, like Luke, et al.

[zetrix]

uh-oh spaghettio's ... thats coming up soon >_<

Dont foget to add Atwa/Niels, Alec Nordin, and Luke Stevens.

I'm sure we'd all get along great at the tournament (The Maplewood crew), and hopefully, at our somewhat badly planned after-tournament meal as well.

Thanks for the invitation, however I feel that I'll have trouble fitting 2 9-hour flights and a tournament in my scedual :)

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

C'mon....Melvin is paying for tickets, and all team tourney fees!

[someone_unimportant]

Once again (just like last month) I will be unable to attend due to my damn job. In fact, all of Team Xiphosura will be woefully underrepresented since we lost 2 members to college this year. But I'll be there next month! Just you wait!

[Citrus-God]

C'mon....Melvin is paying for tickets, and all team tourney fees!

Oh.... time to use my asian powers and rigg the tickets for flights and stuff.

[kabal]

Results?

[gustoh]

Yeah... where are the results since I pulled a Mike this month...?

LT...

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

Wasn't really paying attention after I scrubed out :frown:

33 players
Gb Elves!? in top 8
Cephalid Breakfast in top 8
Affinity in top 8 I think

SOOOOOOo many thresh decks, a few top 8, can't remember.

Decks I saw being played:

Thresh (UG, UGr, UGw, Gro)
Mono-black aggro
Solidarity
Enchantress
Pox
Belcher
TES
IGGy Pop
Breakfast
Vial Gobs
Meat Hooks
Aluren
Affinity
Ichorid

Pretty diverse field, really a ton of thresh though, some where around 7 or 8 decks, at least 1/4 of the meta.

[zetrix]

Lenny pulled a me, how cute =/

I was there, but I didn't feel like playing and just went home and went to bed... next time I'll get more than 40 minutes of sleep =]

[Citrus-God]

Here was the Top 8...

1st UGw Threshold
2nd BR Affinity
3rd Cephalid Breakfast, piloted by my teammate, Alec Nordin
4th UGw Threshold

5-8

BG Elves, piloted by my teammate, Goblin_Snowman AKA Alex Swart
Counter Slivers
Smart Goblins

1 Other decks I dont remember.


As for me, I kept 2 bad hands in my first round and lost to Goblins. Next round, I lost to 3c Color Control. I did, however, beat 4 decks in a row, 2 of which involved Blood Moon.

I played against TES, UGW Bird Shit, Aluren, and Enchantress after that. Simply put, Blood Moon is just sexy.

Here's the list I ended up settling on...


// Lands 17
2 Flooded Strand
2 Polluted Delta
3 Wooded Foothills
4 Volcanic Island
3 Tropical Island
1 Forest
2 Island


// Creatures 10
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Tarmogoyf
2 Fledgling Dragon


// Spells 33
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
1 Portent
3 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Predict
4 Daze
4 Force of Will
2 Counterspell
4 Lightning Bolt
3 Pithing Needle


// Sideboard 15
4 Pyroclasm
2 Ancient Grudge
2 Krosan Grip
4 Counterbalance
3 Blood Moon


I made lots of mistakes, and it was pretty hard learning how to play with Bolts instead of Swords. I see myself playing this in the future because of the challenged it presented me. It's a strong and promising deck, and it is good when played right.

[Goblin Snowman]

And you know what? I'd do it again!

For people interested, here's the Elf list I played as a joke (Although now the universe is mad at me for going to a real event without playing beloved Chalice of the Void);

4x Elvish Champion
4x Elvish Vanguard
4x Llanowar Elves
3x Fyndhorn Elves
4x Quirion Ranger
4x Priest of Titania
4x Timberwatch Elf
4x Bloodline Shaman
4x Sylvan Messenger

4x Duress
4x Cabal Therapy

3x Bayou (I succeeded in forgetting to bring a fourth)
4x Wooded Foothills
2x Windswept Heath
8x Forest
1x Pendelhaven

SB
4x Gaia's Anthem
4x Engineered Plague
4x Ensnaring Bridge (it screws Tarmogoyf and very large, hasty Ghouls over)
3x Smother (Again, it kills Tarmogoyf)

There should be no Bridges in the board, but we lent out our Extripates to someone, and I needed a Breakfast hate card the night before, while building my board.

I played against a Bye, Breakfast, Threshold, Pox, Goblins, and Affinity...and this was with one Breakfast, one Pox, two Goblins, and one Affinity player there... yay predicable matchups!

[Kyachi]

Is that the best report are going to get out of you? Gay sauce, Alex, gay sauce...

[froggy]

Hey, just to clarify the results of the tourney:
1st: ugw thresh
2nd: affinity
and 3rd and 4th drew, THE MATCH WAS NEVER PLAYED. If it had been i'm sure i would've 2-0ed him just like in the swiss round. so just clarifying that, get kinda pissy when people make up shit.:tongue:

I never said he beat you. You just gave him the 3rd pick in return for a fetchland and 60 store credit.

I'll get around to posting a decent one later I guess... work ftl.

[Peter_Rotten]

Does anyone have a link to deck lists so that the tourney may be counted for the DTBF?

[TeenieBopper]

wtf is Smart Goblins?

[froggy]

Hey, you're right melvin, but it did imply that result. but no worrries, hence the smiley face at the end with it's tongue sticking out....

[Citrus-God]

Does anyone have a link to deck lists so that the tourney may be counted for the DTBF?

Hardly. People used to put up decklists. But next Monster Den tournament, I'll ask the organizer about it.

@Teeniebopper: Goblins with maindecked Swords and White?

@Froggy: I didnt see the smiley thing.... cuz the smiley thing seemed like my cousin, and I tend to ignored my cousins.

(hoofprints of the stag was definetly the mvp of the tournament for me, seems like it works well when all my creatures have been extripated, also works great with t-goyf)

[Citrus-God]

Seems like a Froggy style deck. I just miss the random Geddon and Worship. Oh well, your deck is more aggressive now. Also, are you going to consider making Ponder a 4-of yet? It's just too good not to run. At least make a 3/3 split.

[gustoh]

Seriously...

I miss a tournament and Alec makes it past 0-2, Mike shows up and Froggy actually played a Den tournament...? What's next Zwirn plays Solidarity again?

geez...

Not to mention Melvin isnt in the Top 8. So yes, lot's of things happened on Saturday.

[zetrix]

Man, if Jeremy would've shown up with plateus I would've played rifter and stomped... but noo, so I went home... after lending alec out his deck, lol

well, just a trop and some vials :-P

=\ Show up next time Lenny :P

[drawer]

BR Affinity/Fling-a-tog. 2nd Place

4 Disciple of the Vault
4 Arcbound Ravager

3 Fling
4 Aether Vial
3 Chromatic Star

Sideboard

Pretty basic. I played affinity because I was sick of losing to blue decks with Belcher, didn't actually think I would do well with it. My two losses were to Energy Flux out of thresh boards, once in round one and again in the finals.
Played against Threshold of the Stag, UGB control, Ichorid, UG thresh, UGR thresh, ID, Elves in the quarters, Hoofprints again in the semis, and UGW thresh in the finals.
