I scrubbed pretty hard in Round 9 due to stupidity and exhaustion in Game 1. Sad way to get knocked out. :(
6-3 is a great result with BUG Control. That's one of the hardest archetypes to play right now.Quote:

Had a great time except for the very long time inbetween rounds.
Thanks. I actually felt very well positioned. I lost to UR Delver (Blood Moon, always going to be good vs. BUG), Sneak and Show (I knew my combo matchup wasn't great), and Death and Taxes (which should beat me).Quote:

Anyone remember the name of the dealer with the box full of $0.50 foreign crack? Finally found a Russian Treefolk Harbinger there and now I'm seriously jonesing for the rest of the set.
Oh and Russian Children of Korlis too. Nothing like getting a judge called for a card in a foreign language that gets judges called in English.
Went 11-4 with UWR Delver, good for 110th Place. Oddly I played against only 2 Treasure Cruise decks. 4 Death and Taxes and 3 Elves decks though.
There were actually 3 separate stores operating at that booth. Something like MTG Stronghold was the sign on it.Quote:

Pink Bunny Games had loads of the stuff, but I think it was a dollar.Quote:

I wanted to have a round 1 no show and make my round 2 opp think I made it through round 1 with a vintage deck. lol
That would have been beyond amazingQuote:

What did you face? Leyline, Jixlid Jailor?Quote:

I saw the Yxlid Jailer used against me when I was playing Reanimator, apparently the guy thought I was dredge also. I did not see Cage in my 8 rounds at all. A BUG Delver player had a Reanimate in his sideboard that be brought against me.Quote:

I don't really place a large value on Foreign over English for non-foils of that calibre and rarity, so I was not really impressed. I just flushed store credit on the stuff but it was a roll-eyes moment all the same.
anyways. I've since joined the german-language Facebook group so things are gonna change for the better (but to the detriment of my wallet).
