So just realized this thing is in only a couple days. Gotta make sure i can take the car on saturday (should be no problem) and then i'll ask the question, so who wants a ride from worcester? Send me a PM if you wanna go.
Finaly looked up where manchester is, its way closer then i was afraid. Barely an hour from worcester.
I'll be there with Ben (Force_of_Will) and Josh Cicio.

Well, at least we smell better
My quick head count of posts puts attendance at 15 so far.
I hope there is a larger turnout than that as the prize is guaranteed if we hit 12 but it would be awesome if we can make legacy at The Grid rival the ones in Hadley where there are 40-50+ people per legacy event.
The best part is that prize support will increase porportionally with attendance. So if we can get a bunch of people the whole top 8 may get a bunch of cash or the winner may have a mox and enough money to swim in.
Looking forward to building a Legacy @ The Grid and in CT!
PTPaul :-)
Paul, it'd be a shame if all of your marketing went to waste on this one. I don't feel like 15 would be enough to call the tournament a success, 25 would be more comfortable IMO. I will be there, so I figure around 20 people have said they're going, though it's hard to count on this thread because we don't know if people are bringing others for sure or not. I tried to get someone from school to come, but they told me they'll be too drunk Friday night.
Either way, I'll be playing Jaynel round one again and this time he won't get the white source like a champ and I'll beat him. (Calling you out Jaynel. Your Survival will not make it out of this one! PUN INTENDED!!!) Paul, I have a short list of cards I need to borrow from you which I can PM you or whatever, let me know.
P.S.: The rumor is that if this tournament hits 40-50, there'll be a party at Paul's place after, which is good because he just moved to a location "very close" to the Grid and he needs unwanted guests. ;P
Play something with force of will like your signature says.Im in.. Anyone between Bristol and there need a lift? Im going by my lonesome otherwise, but meeting people there......

Co-Founder of Team Awesome - I heard Randy Buehler say a while back that good players give themselves the most number of turns to find the answer.

Apparently you haven't read the rule book, I'm the only one who gets to call out Jared <3

This is kinda creepy. Not so sure if I approve of this.
Let's get the record straight.
J-star is my new BFFL, now I just have to get him to shake some of his bad habits, and I'm not talking about his desire to play Survival decks.
As far as partying and such goes, I do know only the foolish would fail to join The Grid Facebook group before Monday, because there is a super sweet announcement coming out Monday about the Conflux Pre-Release there.
BTW has anyone noticed how many gold and domain based cards there are in the new set? Are they trying to make it so everyone plays 5 color in draft like me or what? The good news is that I've mastered sketchy mana bases.
I'm very confident that we will have an awesome attendance at this event and many more Legacy Events at The Grid along with possibly Vintage as I was talking with many locals and helping them prepare for Saturday's tourney last night.
If you know someone who plays legacy and they haven't posted on here, you should send them an IM or something and make sure they don't miss out on this fun.
In closing I was talking to Karl about the first place Mox Pearl and there were several offers made on it in the last few weeks by Vintage players so as far as the quality goes, it's not perfect but it will sure as heck play.
Game on everyone.

Don't lie to yourself Jared, you love this shit.

Two coming from Team Insight.
Paul, I feel like 5 color is getting tighter with landcycling and the "Souls," that pump to insanity for 1 of each color, but it's hard to say how that will look in draft.
As for Jaynel getting called out. I can do it, you know why? Because I said so. Jared is my boy now and he's going down!!!
Paul I'm just going to text you the list of cards that I would like to borrow.
As of right now, i'm driving down tomorow by my lonesome... which is kind of boring. So if anyone wants a free ride from worcester or anywhere on the way from here to there, send me a PM before i leave tomorow.

Fun tournament about time I won one. Friendly's after kicked ass but H00ters probably would have been better.
PS: Aaron you're a dick for not selling me those threads.

Team NeverWin: We just top 8 a lot.
Too lazy to post.
Friendly's after did indeed kick ass. So much funny.
And I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but 32 people showed up.

I just want to make a few notes. PTPaul did not top 8, he took 15th. Imperial Painter is more accurately described as Dragon Stompy/Painter and Louis didn't even know what some of his cards did.
Who did I play round 1? Why it would be Jaynel. How did the match turn out? I got him 2-0. It was an utterly ridiculous match, but, none-the-less, I got there.
Overall a very fun day, I was not happy with losing to Goyf Sligh and Merfolk to get 10th place, but I'll just do better next time.
Props:
-Karl, for running some Legacy at the Grid.
-Hymn to Tourach, for hitting Jaynel's 2x Swords to Plowshares.
-Jared aka "Jaynel," for being the man.
-PT Paul, for lending me cards and being the coolest as well.
-Ed Dunning, for TRUCKING IT with Goblins. Sketchy Goblins, but Goblins none-the-less.
Slops:
-The Middletown Crew, for going to Maryland for a PTQ instead.
-PT Paul, 15th place?!? 2-2-1? Really?!? Tighten that shit up.
-I didn't make any trades today. What's up with that?
-People's criticisms about my deck choice and card selection, makes me want to scream at them how much better I am than they are, but I try to be humble.
-Chris Victor. Top 8'ing with Merfolk will only encourage him, that deck is so bad.
-The guy who misplaced his Phyrexian Dreadnought and was accusing people of stealing it.
-My bitterness, I should be more positive.
Derf Derf I played him in top 8 what the hell was I thinking..
