I am, however, showing up at some point. When I do, I'm powerbombing you through a table.Originally Posted by wastedlife
We have 49 people, with 4-5 of the locals showing up. I will be posting the top 8 when I have it. Rob said he would give me the T8 lists when the event is over. I went 4-2 and prob. won't make top 8...o well...
Team Fat Man & Little Boy
Lam Pham got first, Diablos took second.
My only dream is that yours never come true.

What were they playing? What were the other decks in the Top 8?

GBrW Survival (myself)
UGR Threshold w/ Wastes (Dave Caplan)
RGBSA (Mulletus)
RGBSA (Quicksilver)

Landstill (Phil Stolze)
Threshold beats Ichorid
GBrW Survival beats RGBSA
B/G Suicide beats RGBSA
Threshold beats Landstill
GBrW beats Threshold
Threshold beats B/G Suicide
I lost to Lam Phan with Threshold in finals. Mull to 5 both games FTL. I'll have a report up soon. It was quite an interesting tournament for me. Thanks for everyone who came out too, we had a great turnout and the event was a blast.

Did it run CB in the main? What was the creature configuration?

B/G Suicide Black was played by nitewolf9 (Dan Signorini). The deck is called Eva Green. Just wait until you guys see the decklist and tournament report.
Another BZK top 8.
I'm bummed no-one in the local car did well, but hey, can't win em all. I can't wait to read some of the reports from here and see some of the lists.
Team Rehab- We Keep Coming Back For More
Team Blitzkrieg- Swagga.

Lam asked me to post on his behalf, so this is from the both of us:
We had an awesome time at this event. It was great to meet all the sourcers, the players were awesome, the venue was awesome, the prizes were awesome. Please let us know when there are other events like this in the area as we would love to come back.
Edit: He wanted me to say that it's spelled Phan not Pham.

Congrads Colin on making it to the finals and almost winning it, if not for mulliganing to 5 in both games. I guess Survival is a pretty good choice to play around here.
It was also nice to see such a good turnout for this event.

I had a couple issues with this event.
A) No Smoking on mall property is frowntown.
B) No toilet in store. Seriously what the fuck. I dropped from the event to drive home so I could take a shit because I didn't want to use the terrible bathrooms in the mall food court.

No Counterbalance. The creature configuration was Mongeese, Tarmogoyf, and some number of Trygon Predator. They ran maindeck Wasteland, Stifle, Lightning Bolt, and Fire/Ice. It was rough for me. I'd ask the people who piloted the deck for more information though, as I just base this off what I saw.
Tarmogoyf
Nimble Mongoose
Trygon Predator (Sideboard)
Force Of Will
Daze
Lightning Bolt
Fire/Ice
Rushing River
Stifle
Ponder
Brainstorm
Portent
(yeah, all three of those draws)
Wasteland
Tropical Island
Volcanic Island
Fetches
(no basics)
Not sure on the quantities for everything.
I played against it first round and watched other rounds with him - every time he needed an answer, he would play a draw spell and it would be in the top three cards every time, or he would shuffle them away and just draw it anyway off the top. It was crazy.
The Jim Abides.
The deck is totally redundant, an answer comes in many many forms. He probably wasn't looking for just 1 card, but 1 of a few. That's kinda how the deck works.
After seeing the contents of your list I noticed you had Fire/Ice. How useful was it during this event? There has been a few discussions (Format/Ugr Threshold) regarding this card and its relevance in the current Meta. It seem like the majority didn't favor it. Maybe you don't mind giving your take.

The contents of those posts on the UGr Thresh thread are the reason I have stopped sharing my opinion on the deck. When I previously decided to post on the merits of wasteland and stifle in threshold after the deck's resounding success at Gencon, it was not taken well and I felt as though I was not being listened to. I will not repeat the same mistake again.
I had a good time. I went 4-0, and drew in. I lost the mirror match in top 8. I won 24 packs. I beat: Goyf sleigh 2-1, Landstill 1-0-1, Cephalid breakfast 2-1, Suicide B/g 2-0. Four of my six opponents made the top 8, so it shows I didnt get paired against scrubs. All my wins came from my deck working great. I lost to Di in 2 games, the first one I jumped out quick, then drew land land birds land... he recovered. Then game two I didnt draw land. It was good time, and I have no complaints or regrets.
Survival will be good forever... kinda like a maraschino cherry.
I had a wonderful time at the event. I played BHWC Landstill to a disappointing 2-2-2 record. I think I learned a lesson in capitalizing on my opponent's mistakes. After a draw with Nantuko Shady, I couldn't buy a win, losing twice, drawing again (goddamn Landstill mirror), and playing against someone who forgot to drop and conceded the match.
For those of you counting at home, I earned one win.
