Wtf? Do you still have a grudge with me, for a reason I've yet to figure out?

Although I wasn't entirely serious with that one you have been a giant douche to me for as long as I've known you. Don't let it bother you though it's just the way things are.

I was under the impression this was the first time we ever met, but maybe I'm mistaken. Besides, you have to give me a little bit a leeway. Administrator v. abrasive asshat poster (Well, formerly an abrasive asshat)? It's like I have to be a douche to you. :)

Don't worry though, I won't be losing any sleep over it. While I'm at it, good job on top4.

Great job all around folks, looks like a fantastic time. Sad face on my part for missing. :(

Hopefully James Peyton will write a report.

I'm a good guesser.

Dreadstill wins... when I'm not there :tongue:

No seriously congrats Rodney. I wanted to go to this but things didn't come together. They never do :p

Glad to hear tourney was a good time. Maybe I can make the next one.

- Dave

P.S. Legacy Community: Play Krosan Grip

One of the best Tournaments I have been too in the past couple of years. Kudos to all the Sourcers that put up the prize pool and organized this whole event. Which I believe was run very well, despite having been told hours before that they were not getting the larger room and then comming through with the larger room.

Props:

All my opponents for being really cool.
The tournament for being AWSOME.

Slops:

The downstairs of the leigion smelling like a poo factory.
The person who DESTROYED the toilet in the downstairs of the Legion contributing to it smelling like a poo factory.
Me for sucking at magic.

Seriously though, I'm just boggled by Dreadstill. When I played against it with It's the Fear, I didn't have troubles except where I mulliganed to five with one land. Pretty sure it wouldn't take much to beat that hand.

Games two and three I destroyed him (no offense Rodney). Sitting on the other side, it felt like he had such an awful match against true control decks. If Counterbalance doesn't stick, he's in for a hell of a difficult time. Plus, Counterbalance doesn't curve quite right in his deck to fight other control decks. I honestly don't know how he would reliably beat things like Landstill.

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but seriously, how do you fight the control mirror? It seems like they can do most of what you do, but better. The one advantage you have (and a questionable one at that) is Dreadnought. Which is relatively fragile (especially post board).

Still though, congratulations on your top 4 Ben.

I know who was responsible for this, but the name will remain secret (no, it wasn't me.)

And no, that didn't smell like a poo of any sort; it smelled like pure death soaked in ammonia. Like, hooded figure holding scythe looming in the hallway. I feel terrible for the person who had to clean that. They probably fainted walking into the bathroom.

You must also remember Dave ITF is Dreadstill's worst matchup. Landstill actually isn't nearly as bad seeing as they have dead cards against you (See Standstill.) The control mirror itself isn't that hard, but ITF is very difficult to beat with UR Dreadstill. UGR with Goyfs may be better, but at worst I'd say it's like 60/40 ITFs favor.

There was 5 of us who came down from Hamilton, Ontario and we all had a great time. I would not hesitate to come to another one of these events again.
