Considering the size of most of these dual land tournaments, isn't giving a two round bye to a 6 round event a bit excessive?Quote:

Well it's gonna be a seven round event because we are gonna get that many people, so it won't matter.
Have any of these tournaments every had an attendance of greater than 64 people?Quote:

Dude, I beat MWC. With goblins. I won game one with humility in play after you hardcast renewed faith three goddamn times. Not to mention all the freaking Silver Knights I had to deal with all day. Are you honestly trying to tell me I didn't deserve those three byes?
But then you went and lost to Caller of the Claw.
what do you guys think the field is gonna be like?
Lots and lots of Combo, lots and lots of Landstill. A fair amount of Thresh. Zero to a few Goblins.Quote:

At least he made it far enough to lose to Caller of the Claw.Quote:

Oh yeah, and it was round five, thank you very much.
Man, you sure showed him, what a badass move.Quote:

Ironically I was playing Wombat and drew with elves in one of the later rounds also, I believe in the x-1 bracket. But still, you suck for stealing my byes.
Dude, that fucker was playing Absolute Law main. Absolute Law. In the maindeck. And he played it on turn two. Pro red elves. On turn two. Against Goblins. How the fuck do I beat that?Quote:

I will need some answers pretty soon as I need to advertise this in the store also. I'll let you guys throw your opinions out there and then make a final choice.
1 round. 1 player.
A 1 round bye for the top 2 seems interesting, Plus that way the top 2 can just split and go home.
How many people usually go to this thing weekly anyway?
We usually run between 12 and 20. The whole point though, is that you guys would ideally be here in time to play in the bye tournament, too.Quote:

The store will also be giving out the normal prizes for the tournament which is based upon attendance.
Everyone go to star city right now and look at the most purchased card.

Seriously.

Just in case people didn't get to see.
Grats.
edit: Interestingly enough, #2 is Paradox Haze. WTF?
edit2: Oh, looks like we had the same idea. Oh well.
The Prelim for this tourney is going to be 2 1 round byes to the top 2. Prizes will be the normal store prizes, which are credit or packs based upon attendance.
Entry is 5 bucks, and you get a pack just for playing.
I think this is the next big tourney at this point. Any predictions?
Looks like I'm going to be recieving a whole lot of Grozoths in the future.Quote:

You guys suck, this is during Ramadan.
So you have to fast and pray. Does that mean you can't travel or play magical cards?Quote:

It means I can eat cause I'm traveling but I have to make it up after Ramadan. Which is fine, I just like to QQ about random stuffz.Quote:

On a side note, anyone who beats Zach or me will be getting a pack of German Renaissance. It's a black bordered set that you can pull Mishra's Factory, Sylvan Library, Land Tax, and Strip Mine. If we don't give all of them out as bounties then we will be giving them out at the end of the tourney as a door prize, in addition to FOIL STANDSTILLS. There will be other door prizes also given out throughout the tourney.
Who is coming? I know that Canada, Mass, VA, Maryland, and even some midwesterners expressed interest, am I gonna have to give away my Forces and extra Volcs? Lets get 70 people.
Oh, and if the tourney is 7 rounds, those 1 round byes we are giving out may just turn into 2 round byes...
I don't feel like scourging through the forums, but when's the prelims?
I believe it is the Saturday before the Draft @ 5pm at the ComicZone.Quote:

Im psyched about this tournament guys, I hope it goes real well for you.
Ill take a shot of Jager for beating an EPIC!
Hopefully you're not much of a drinker, or else you'll have to think of another reason to take a shot.
