I'm two for two with top 8s at Grid events. I need to learn how to play magic in a top 8. Another great event, good people as always except for that kid accused Louis of stealing a dreadnought then they ended up playing each other and the kid didn't spell snare painter's servant or top to get the two blasts effects on the top of his deck when Louis tried to blast needle naming grindstone.

Don't do that, you've seen my Hebrew Glory that he signed, Ben's handwriting is fucking terrible.

I don't think you are a dick just stu.. misinformed ;) . How about I stamp my name on them instead.

Nice to see Imperial Painter in the Top 8.
Agreed. It was a good choice.

Conclusion made by this tournament, Trygon Predator>Imperial Painter... DING!
Team Hammafist
Trygon Predator steamrolled that deck singlehandedly. How else does one come back from an opponent having 3x Sword of Light and Shadow?
I want to note that I beat the Mono Red Painter deck in the Swiss and was not impressed, but somehow he managed to Top 8 with it.
Is there anyway Carl can post the decklists?

Wait, why did Ben sign a Hebrew Glory? Signing a Hebrew card seems like a job for a Lefkowitz. (Unless Glories are known for coming in 3rd or something...)
Actually the story behind that is that I was going to have him sign my Force of Wills, but then I saw his handwriting, which is fucking terrible and was like, hmm, nope, don't sign my force of wills, and he started looking through my binder and asked if he could sign the glory so I said sure.

Evolution Thresh = UGr Next level grow with MD trygons and relics??
Would be nice to have a list of those decks.
PM
That's because I wasn't playing it.
And for the love of Christ, Trygon Predator? That card should never see the light of day against someone playing Imperial Painter, especially the original version with Lightning Bolts (which I still advocate). I've played against at least four or five opponents in major sanctioned events boarding in T.P. and it was never a factor.
Assuming its the same deck they've been playing, Evolution Thresh is UGrw Thresh with Cryptic Commands (and some number of Trygon Predators between main and side).
It no longer has Cryptic Command.
Team Hammafist
Oh.
Well, a list would be cool, if you don't mind sharing it, Ben.
Definitely don't care.

I didn't misplace it and I didn't accuse "people" of stealing it. I accused one person of stealing it. The one person who I'm still more than 99% convinced did steal it.
I'm 100% certain that I had it with me when I showed up at the grid and I'm 100% certain that within moments of this person sitting down at the table across from me while I filled in my deck registration form it suddenly disappeared.
You didn't have the conversations I had with this person and you didn't see what I saw. It's easy to tell when somebody is lying to you and this kid certainly seemed to be lying to me.
This card was substantially valuable and worse yet was part of a matching set of four Pete Venters autographed cards. Not only am out a $50 card but the value of the remaining three is substantially diminished as they no longer are a set.
Maybe he just picked it up to look at it and then realized I hadn't noticed and slipped it into his pocket or maybe he did right away intend to steal it. Maybe it's still possible that some random other person just snatched it off the table as they walked by. I really believe I know who stole it though and it's a bunch of bullshit that somebody would do that. How can you be part of something where it is hard enough to attract new players and then when you do get one you steal from him? It's not good for anybody involved and it's a shame for everybody who plays this game.
Some people steal for the kicks, but I don't believe he stole it. I played against him and spoke to him. The fact of the matter is that he already has substantial value in cards, including full Beta Power, so he doesn't need to steal a Dreadnought. If I were you, I would have been looking at the Pokekids, yet I don't know if they were there that early.
