ggs... g1 I was too conservative, G2 luckily got there, G3 made some mistakes and the deck did not deliver
thanks to Jelly for organizing this, hopefully see you all in chapter II.
What did the Top 8 look like?
Since I had initially failed to catch decklists before the top eight began, I kind of... continued to fail in terms of retrieving them. However, since I'm now reminded, I'm going to go ahead and ship out a PM asking if the players wouldn't mind disclosing decklists. All of the players, actually. Obviously, at this point, no one is expected or required to do so (though I would reeeally like to see the top eight disclosed), but obtaining as many decklists as possible would provide for some really entertaining statistics.Quote:

Also, also, although we're waiting on the top eight's decklists, I can still at least provide you with the names of our glorious contestants!

Oh, and I have more prize options in mind. Film at 11.
I win 2-1 against bigwerdz in 3 blowout games. So top4 is set in stone...
concerning decklists, i dont care if you post top x decklists. for me its much more interesting to have a meta analysis.
Decan over bigwerdz 2-1. Couldn't think of a better guy to give me both my losses in the tourney. Good luck the rest of the way! Burn finally crashes and burns...
as for the deck list:
8 Mountain
4 Goblin Guide
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Lava Spike
4 Rift Bolt
4 Chain Lightning
4 Fireblast
4 Price of Progress
2 Sulfuric Vortex
4 Eidolon of the Great Revel

SB: 2 Pyrostatic Pillar
SB: 3 Destructive Revelry
SB: 3 Tormod's Crypt
SB: 3 Searing Blood
copy and pasted out of cockatrice.
This is not something I was expecting. Grats on making it so far with Burn. Also, it's pretty entertaining that you were responsible for both of Deviruchi's losses and decan was responsible for both of yours.Quote:

I played a pretty stock Grixis Tempo list. I moved on to Grixis Control since. Don't feel like logging in to find it, but you've probably seen it before.
I did a mono white D&T list, I like Mangara and I was fiddling with 3 of them since I hadn't played with them for a while and I wanted to have some fun with awesome thing.
Pretty much didn't want to play MUD since I've been doing that for a while (tend to switch between the two, and I wasn't comfortable yet for Imperial Taxes or another new one I hadn't tested enough to know the ins and outs of it well enough yet to play it in a tournament.
