[Tournament] 4x Tarmogoyf 4/19/08 Hadley, Ma

[vanele]

I heard someone, who may or may not have been A Legend, claiming it was errata'd into an enchantment.

That was me, it was an enchantment for a while.

must have switched back to a sorcery as of recent.

[KillemallCFH]

That was me, it was an enchantment for a while if i remember correctly.

Ya, it was an enchantment for a while. They recently errata'd it back to be a sorcery

[Rood]

I actually won a game 3 on Jedi Mind tricks...

[Raider Bob]

Top 8
Landstill
Muc
Dark Belcher
Slivers
Goblins
Tombstone
Mossnaught
??? Not sure the 8th place.

[revenge_inc]

@ vanele, are you going to share your mono blue aggro list.

[KillemallCFH]

That is certainly an interesting T8. I'm very interested in seeing the MUC list, and seeing Mossnaught T8 is pretty cool. Who was playing it?

It was Dreadstill :D

[RoddyVR]

No its definitely a Sorcery...you cant errata something to change its type. I also dont know why Belcher would play this card SB, its basically a Living Death with Suspend 2-2BB.

Gatherer acutaly sais that "this card is BACK to being a sorcery" so it must have been an enchantment for a while.
And if i understand ALegend's rationalle correctly, the reasons for it being in his sideboard are as follows:
1. Belcher doesnt need all 15 of its sideboard slots.
2. Winning with a deck that has it in its 75 cards adds atleast 100 coolness points to the whole process.
3. If burning wish isnt gonna save you anyway, might as well get AllHollow'sEve and have some fun while losing.

Besides all that can you immagine how funny it would be if the price of allhollows eve starts skyrocketing because all the people who just netdeck without understanding the decks they're ripping off have to start bying them up to complete their belcher lists.

Hell i've got a prety useless sideboard slot in my deck, maybe i should put some utterly useless card (norin the wary comes to mind) in there to freak people out.

You wanna know why. Because Hollywood is A Fucking Legend.

Also, who made top 8 with Tombstone? (guessing it was Geoff)

Nope, Geoff got knocked out by Vanele's Faerie and Roodmistah's Dreadstill decks.

Also QFT Hollywood is a Legend for playing All Hallow's Eve in the side!

[Michael Keller]

I put All Hallow's Eve in my sideboard because I wanted to prove that:

A.) There are DEAD slots in the sideboard that will never be fulfilled in this deck, like, period, end of story. Belcher wins on its own.
B.) Because I told everyone earlier - All Hallow's Eve fell early, on April 19th.
C.) It's that cool and I like fucking with people's heads.

So yeah - two finals appearances at two major tournaments in a row. I rule. Who else can top 8 with Polar Kraken and All Hallow's Eve in their decks?

Look out Barack, Hilary, and McCain...
Hollywood For All Star 2008.

I'll write up a report sometime tomorrow. I'm tired. And congrats to Bob for top 8'ing. Nice job buddy. Go Left Field.

Well, to be fair, I actually saw you hardcast Polar Kraken.

Twice.

I think I may have been so dumbfounded that I did that that I hardly remember. Nice.

Also Polar Kraken is better than like 3/5 of all magic cards. Last time I check it pitches to FOW.

And it is that must needed 11cc card for Counterbalance.

Pyshwa. More like decks with Polar Kraken need to work on their 13cc spot, so they can dodge the ever-present Punishment for 11 on the opponent's next turn.

Talk about a headache.

Countering Darksteel Colossus and Mycosynth Golem is HUGE. When you are low on counters, being able to Balance and counter that Golem will win you games.

Nice job Hollywood. Congrads on the Top 8/Finals with Dark Belcher.

Hopefully, I'll see you in another Top 8 very soon in the Legacy Cash Tournament in Syracuse.

Keep up the good work. Congrads on everyone from Syracuse that made Top 8. Go 'Cuse.

[Zach Tartell]

Hopefully, I'll see you in another Top 8 very soon in the Legacy Cash Tournament in Syracuse.

Not to nit pick (I lied - very much to nit pick), but are you familiar with how soon "very soon" is? Like, at my last check the event was scheduled for the 19th of July. Which, a cursory investigation yields, is precisely 3 months away.

Edit: -1 day.

[Michael Keller]

I also played two of these in my sideboard alongside the All Hallow's Eve for S&G:



I never ended up using them but there you have it - another janky Legends card. This time, a common.
