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:

I see what you did there ;)
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.

Top 8 lists are already posted in the main thread.

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.

Edits: Was it alarming to anyone else that 5 of the top 8 decks were running Progenitus?

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.

It's so odd to see amazing shiznit like Mishra's Workshop and Beta duals in the display case in the first pic. It's been about 8 years since I've been into any card shop that's got halfway decent selection of old gems.

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