THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006

Quick note, who said there was no combo in the top 8 again? What exactly are you counting Reanimator as? Especially as neither build looked anything like Orlove's hybrid control thingy.

Note: you can't actually respond to cracking LED, as it's still a mana ability.

Cool. That makes it about exactly equal with Truffle Shuffle.

A 3 day weekend & you couldn't plan around this? Lame :) Hope the midget had a good party cuz it was an amazing tournament. Did anyone get a chance to talk with Ray about when the next one might be? Or advocate for frequent repeats?

Duh, I should have known that since I had a judge clarify basically the same ruling on the draw for Chromatic Sphere for me just before the tournament. I was afraid of it killing me against Solidarity.

I think we can probably piece it together. 3c Angel Stompy, 2 x Solidarity, 2 x Truffle Shuffle, what else are we missing?

Props:
Ray for running this thing.
Everyone I played agianst for being really nice. Even when kicking my ass.
Gearhart for still being my friend after I was such a tool.
Roland for turning my Aquamoebas into a signed set.
Matt Abold. Cuz.
Jander for the Haunting Echoes.
Me for making sure that Nightmare had the proper pimpedness to finish 2nd.
My final round oppponent, cuz it was the final round and stuff (who was this again?)
Triscuits and Soy Milk.

Slops:
Me for saying I'd never play an IBA deck again.
Me for making my ride wait an extra round just so I could pick up 6 packs.
Me for not knowing who anyone was.
Me for losing to Gro.
IBA for the above.
Oil companies for price gouging.

I heard another Faerie Stompy placed 14th.

I was your last round opponent.

I only found out later that you were Lego Army Man. It was good to finally meet you in person.

I got 11th with WW/u. Why couldn't I see one of my 7 pro:red guys vs Feinstein??

Faerie Stompy can be randomly insane with turn one dude. In addition, COTV for 1 often times just ends games right there.... COTV makes so many matchups just insane for you. W00t for Team Rochester!
