Hey good job on top 4. Damn Magus of the moon:tongue:

I don't think you had a trisphere the third game. I bounced the magus for one. That is of course unless i just cheated and paid one.

Not sure how they messed this up, but my name is spelled Jared. That was my only complaint that day.

I'm pretty glad that you guys offered the split; it's always awesome being able to leave a tournament before 6 PM.

Anyways, congratulations! You Hammafist guys are still pretty goofy though :tongue:

Decklists are tech. Some of us like to keep encyclopedias of T8'ing Dragon Stompy builds.:)

Nice result! I hope posting in this thread one month after the last post doesn't count as Necromancy, but I had a question. You seemed to have won one maybe two games on a Trinisphere, yet in some other games you seem to drop it in the third or fourth round and I assume its use at that point is very limited. What do you think of maindeck Trinisphere, seeing as the modern DS decks tend to SB it?

It still slows decks down not like its limited at that point especially
Its more of a meta call wouldn't you think if anything?
As for mainboard thinisphere i like it it slows a lot of decks down turn 1 trinisphere buys 3 turns of free plays generally gives the deck that control aspect in a way..
