[SCG Philly] Top 16 - WTF?

[That nice guy]

Louis admitted he was dead tired during that feature match. I can give the guy a little leeway, though not counting his own mountains before Scapeshift was painful. What a way to lose.

His schedule was this;
Friday - break up with girlfriend moving out of country, then study till his 9am law school class. :(
Saturday - go to class without sleep then get a call from a friend in Mass to pick him up for a tourney. Magic takes your mind of the actual important things like females and grad school, so why not? After that he drives a total of 14 hours picking people up and getting lost going to Philly.
Sunday - with only 2 hours of sleep in a car since Friday mourning he starts a tourney where every round goes to time allowing him 0 cigarettes or food to run on.

Also he asked the judge over nine times to play in a place with lighting and without everyone distracting him, and only played mazes in response to creatures he couldn't see due to bad lighting. Then when game three was on turns he decided that it wasn't even worth the effort to count his lands, because if scapeshift didn't work he loses anyway, and he was correct that his vesuvas can copy his opponents Taigas. At this point without scapeshift and being sleep deprived he knew he couldn't win in the one turn he had so he just scapeshifted and hoped for the best. He even mentioned on the ride home that not only did he just not care at this point, but he could have sacked and replayed lands for life but didn't cause of time constraints and mental effort. He was rushing a lot. It truly didn’t matter since he couldn’t win after time was called.

In conclusion he got his mind off other stuff, won $100, and designed a cool deck. Unless you top 16ed shut the hell up unless you've NEVER punted with a deck you've never played before and are still developing. I hate when scrubs that don't innovate anything talk smack.

Peace
