Lotus Moxen Bazaar & 40 Duals!!! May 30th Binghamton Jupiter Games!

Thanks Eli for a great tournament.I had a really good time.

It was awesome.

All those merfolk players just fucking love fish sticks.

Yeah... I agree. Stupid little fish men and their silly artifacts.

I bet they listen to Kanye West too.

Thanks Eli for a great tournament. I went 4-4 with TES losing to 2 landstill variants, survival (i punted game 3), and losing one match to deadguy ale (land destruction can hurt with only 10 lands and the only artifact mana in hand being LED). I had a lot of fun and plan on continuing to play TES.

Awesome tournament. Aside from not sleeping the night before and having a 5 hour drive back home this was totally worth it.

I started my day going 0-2, then proceeded to 2-0 my next 3 opponents, then had to mulligan way too often and got raped by my next 2 opponents.

Still an amazing event and would consider going to another if my boys all want to stay the night there in NY next time instead of trooping it back to CT after 10 hours of Magic.

Well the next one is all set for November 14th if you guys want to book your rooms early. I'm glad everyone had a good time and it was nice to see it was a resounding success. People had me worried with low estimates all the time. The consensus most people were giving me was that I would peak at about 75 and I was truly elated to get 132.

I'm thinking of holding a 1k standard tournament in the next month or so, but I want some reassurance that it will be a success. Anyone on here interested?

What is this standard i hear talk of?

Those are some fightin words right thurr. Although cascade swans would be fun.

Thanks for the great tourney again Eli! (This is Doug McKay). I'd come to a Standard event & some of the people I came with this weekend probably would too. I'll mention it to people at Altered when I go there for std. Also, congrats to Shane Grime (2nd place merfolk player)!

But let's not forget Left Field brought 2 members into the Top 8. Obviously, the more people you bring to a tournament, the better chance you have of making top 8/16.

True story, if a left field representative would pm me also I will award both teams a prize.

Eli , are you forgetting me (mike, 1st place ) and Dan ( DJ, 3rd place ) came in the same car from Albany. The third person from our car didn't do so well. Does that count for anything in the prize give away....?

I loved the 2$ beers, 2.50$ bottles , 2$ rum and cokes.......... 2.50$ cheeseburger and fires etc.... Please try to get PTQ's in there.

report soon!

Jesus, Albany cleaned house at this fucking thing. Well done chaps!
