Cost is $15. Start time is 1pm. Prizes will include 4 Tarmagoyfs, a Beta/Alpha Dual land (Volcanic Island if we get 50 players), and store credit.

Not sure what the rest of the top 4 is getting, probably credit I'd guess. Planning on making this one :laugh:

[centurion8]

So, does 1st get choice of 4x goyf or beta V. Island???

[n00bas4urus_r3x]

yes. 2nd well get the other.

[Citrus-God]

Basically, it's a prize draft. So take your pick when you take a slot.

I get it, I stole that tech from you and beat the everloving shit out of Hawkins and Pat... then again, I doubt they were even trying because we all lost the first 2 rounds each...

@Mike: Play awesome EPIC Landstill with a Basic Forest and more fetchlands.

I still remember when we were drafting C-B-S and you kept going on about how Blood Moon was bad in the mirror. Btw, I think Derek and I both have shit going on, so you miss us for another month. Miss you Melvin!

I was only saying that because I was not smart enough to acknowledge that changing the mana base a little could make Blood Moon good. I was really wrong... you kinda proved it too.

Yeah, I'm busy too on Saturday. We should try and do another ICBE hangout sometime around March. I'll bring Alec too.

Also, good luck everyone!

[jodawe]

Thank God I looked at the thread on the Souce before making my final build. Hunting Pack really turned out to be the MVP :wink:

[someone_unimportant]

We need your play style first....

[zetrix]

You know what I usually play melvin, but thats normally just for fun, i hate combo tourney wise :)

... Play TES... It makes sense that you want to have fun. Another option is just play T1, because the new meta is totally awesome.

[Xero]

I don't suppose someone has the top 8 lists...

[zetrix]

the last time i played tes it made me want to kill myself xD

[Peter_Rotten]

And I believe we had 33 players this month.

Well, if you did, we'd love to see you post the T8 lists so they may be included in the DTBF.

PR...

Last month Jason collected top 8 list but i'm not too sure about this month. 30+ entries is the norm for our "big" monthly tournaments but we're terrible about collecting decklist...

Mike... the deck would have been a solid choice but everyone knows that it's not the deck choice that wins tournaments... it's the pilot...

Tis more fun than doin what u doin :P

Lenny's right. You have two choices though; play a flexibile deck that can adapt to different metagames or spend a ton of cash on different decks for different metas. So keep playing Landstill.
