Played Vs Team on Round One. Lame. Went 3-3 fail and played Settlers til we got kicked out.

Re: [Coverage] Jan 9 2010 Vestal Duals+Fetches
I loved the pictures in this thread all throughout the tournament. I think pictures of legacy events are too few and far between. It's always cool to see pictures of the people who post on The Source and have recognizable names, but no face to go along with it.

It was awesome starting 3-0 then running into Teeg + Counterbalance/Top, Stax, and finally Merfolk with Ethersworn Cannonist? The fuck.

Thanks! :wink: It makes me sad how much girls tend to suck at the Legacy events I've been to. (If any show up at all besides me.) Can't wait for the next one
I love the photo coverage, btw. Less shaky camera next time, hopefully!

Fair enough. It is a social game after all.

For a moment I was inclined to disagree with you until I realized you were talking about success/failure, not about "will suck for duals". :tongue:

Bryant is everywhere on those pics with his grey hoodie. You can also see handrytheLION with his green hat, Jimirynk with his beard, Bertoncini with his toy and with his fishes, Backdr0p with his green jupiter games playmat, me, swinging with Rhox war monk against TES, Yan Lampron facing his teammate Backdr0p while playing landstill, Kyle Dorgan playing ANT...
That's all I know.

My hat's not really a beanie >_> I'm the guy with the yellow/green hat with all the pins on it and the grateful dead t shirt playing zoo at the top tables, just to clarify. :P

Re: [Coverage] Jan 9 2010 Vestal Duals+Fetches
Thank you everyone for coming. I posted the top 8 decks in the main thread. I am looking forward to the next big one on Feb. 13th with WorldWake being legal.
Don't forget Team Unified Legacy on Jan. 23rd also! :smile:

I'd rather start 0-2 and drop than go 3-0 and piss out the rest of the way.

Are we going to see another Hollywood/Cook classic battle for ego? Because if we are, let me know. I'll get some popcorn and set the TiVo.

I like the girl from the second and third picture. :cool:
Otoh, she looks like that famous top 16 that everybody talks about, so I rather don't try anything more intimate... :eyebrow:

How'd Ben do? It's not often the girlfriend outplays the boyfriend.
That is to say: Its usually the Boyfriend who beats the girlfriend. :tongue:

Going X-2 two times in a row is impressive!

Re: [Coverage] Jan 9 2010 Vestal Duals+Fetches
Haha, she did out do her boyfriend this week and last week in Syracuse as far as I know. Not that that implies anything about the difference in their skill level, but that's just how things turned out.
I don't like posting top 16 decklists unless the tournament has over 100 people, otherwise i'm posting 1/4th of the decklists for the tournament and that just seems unncessary.

Yes yes, she crushed me in the Swiss. She was 4-1 at the end of round 5. Unfortunately she lost two very close matches to end 4-3 and in 22nd place. I started out 1-2 (losing to Ams & Merfolk) and brought it back to 4-2-1 (Beating TES, Belcher, Merfolk, Ugr Dreadstill, and unfortunately drawing with Countertop Progenitus) ending in 20th place. Woulda been nice to see prizes go out to top 24 <_<. Alas.

10/10 ProEverything? I'm not surprised that sees play. I wonder how many people were expecting it and had sideboards with Progen hate in them. I know I ran Perish.

I had my main board hate. Another Progen. Legendary rule for the win!

Yeah, I'll admit I've played really well lately, but I'm not at a higher skill level then Ben. I still make silly play mistakes that seasoned players shouldn't make. In time, we'll see if I can get better ;)

Re: [Coverage] Jan 9 2010 Vestal Duals+Fetches
Bant decks are very good and Progenitus is almost unstoppable. It isn't really a surprise to me.

come to Jupiter sometime, the guy's shop is hardcore. I doubt too many stores have FTV:E stockpiled like he does.
