Were the results ever posted for the 2/14 - 20 proxy practice tournament?
Sorry we ended up having a smaller turnout than expected. However the top 2 decks were Merfolk and Dredge. Pretty standard lists for the top 2. There was a faerie's deck, elf survival, legacy rock, stifle naught, and a version of team america were the decks worth noting.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. If anyone has any questions, needs directions, or gets lost. The store's phone # is (607)729-5910. I'm expecting a good turnout, right around 50 people I would say. Our FNM is standard tonight at 5:30pm if anyone was thinking of coming down the day before.
I just want everyone to know that I plan on winning this for one reason. Not because I'm better than you (pyshaw), nor even the fact that I'm one of G-d's Chosen people - I have caffiene charged beef jerky.
Look out, bitches.
Lack of info being posted FTL.
Agreed.
Updates would be appreciated.
Top 8 (as far as I know) is:
Alix with Progenitus Thresh
Damon with Ichorid
? with Merfolk
Raider Bob with Landstill
Smelski with Landstill
Elrod with Breakfast
? with Pox
? with Ichorid
Alix split finals with Merfolk and Damon got third.
42ish players.Quote:

T4:
NOThresh vs. Ichorid, NOThresh wins.
Merfolk vs. Landstill, Merfolk wins.
T2 split.
I didn't recognize the other 3 T8 players, seems like they were locals (ie, Eli's growing his meta nicely), I wouldn't know if they were regged or not.
fuckin vaginas didn't want to draft for mana drain, so 9th through 16th just got 20 dollars store credit...
I really love it when more than half the people at an event are playing either dreadnaught stifle or some kind thresh. Tarmogoyf is retarded (in a good way) so is Nimble Mongoose. I just wish I didn't waste 25$ to play the same sh*t over and over. My thanks go out to all the unoriginal people who play thresh every tournament. Magic is gay. I don't know why I even bother anymore...
I take it you didn't do too well then?Quote:

4 Threshold (one Natural Order Threshold, 1 Canadian Threshold, 1 UGBR Threshold with Volcanic Fallout, one with SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!)
3 Ichorid
3 Merfolk
3 Landstill
2 Elves
1 Cephalid Breakfast
1 High Tide - Reset
1 Fetchland Tendrils
1 Vial Slivers
1 Aggro Loam
1 Pox
1 White Weenie
1 GoyfSligh
1 Goblins
1 Mono White Control (The deck that Jack Elgin built)
I'm sure Parcher can fill in a large number of other decks since he was constantly scouting (or Eli since he has all the deck lists). I didn't see Stifle Dreadnought at all, so unless the other 20 players who I didn't see what they were playing were all playing StifleNought and Thresh, please don't troll. That field was extremely diverse.
This was my bad. xD.Quote:

Was sweet to see some locals put up a decent showing this time.
There were at least two Dreadstill decks (if not more), I tied against Ryan playing a Uw version and my friend Dan playing Death & Taxes beat another (I think Ur or Ugr).
Pretty sure the event had 43 players.
Agreed. I only faced one tarmogoyf all day and no dreadnoughts. However, I did manage to face all 3 Ichorid players.
I appreciate the faith. I am advising a lot of locals on how to improve on legacy and I definitely saw some improvement yesterday. Sorry about lack of updates from me as I worked 18 1/2 hours yesterday and wasn't really in my right mind. The event had 44 Players thanks to some late entrances and I will post the top 8 decklists today. Thank you everyone that came and hopefully we'll see you next month for our March 21st tournament.Quote:

I'm told I should schedule a tourney in April, all in favor give me a yay with their favorite date of choice.
