...Meaning you had to do "perfectly" to get prizes (since I've rarely seen any draws happen)??? Seems pretty unreasonable...
As for my sets... I'm still working on the third one in the block. This is the 100% twobrid set, so it's bound to be crazy. The hard part is making sure that the color pie doesn't crumble.
Abby won no packs today, but that's okay. She had fun and that's all that matters. (though here, you got a pack if you went 2-2. Prize support is pretty good)
@Aurora: Abby will go look at your sets when she's at a computer, and will tell you what she thinks.
@third person: Sleepy! Turns Abby a little bit goofy.

Sorry I've not posted in a while, busy week. Relatedly, I've been working on something to share here, but it's taken quite a bit longer than I expected to get done. I'll probably finish up tomorrow or the next day. But I've been enjoying what everyone else is up to, fun times all around.
Magic: I'm afraid I'm boycotting this block over the double-sided cards problem. I've not enjoyed constructed since Time Spiral block over the constant ease or irrelevance of colour-fixing, but I've liked the occasional draft - however, double-sided cards wreck that for me. Glad that others are having fun, though! And I have to agree that's a mean prize payout scheme, M_E; 3-1-1 is a fine record, and the idea that even a 4-1 would get nothing is absurd.

My anecdotal evidence disagrees with yours! EXPLAIN THAT!
Yeah, I hate it when people are too serious with ANY game, it definitely takes the fun out of it. I knew the pre-release was going to be a flip card of some time, but I was hoping for Chalice of Life/Death (even though its an uncommon, I will actually be using it in my casual artifact deck).
My best deck is a lifegain deck, and Chalice is definitely at least a 2-of card for it. Thanks for the advice, and I'll be watching out for either being in white or hosing it if I can.
It's almost a Mb, so I decided to make it a link and not an [img] forced download to save bandwidth.
Nicely done piece. Clean lines; bold, solid color; smooth gradients. I dig the overall style of it too; very traditional in execution, a little new-school in design concept, and definitely girly. Where did she get it done?
Very cool valentines there Al!
(I wasn't able to check them out during my last post because I only had time to upload the pic before tending to the Mrs!)
So are the tentacled creatures non-gendered or are the females the ones with nipples convex suction cups?
EDIT:
I'm always behind it seems.
She got it done at http://www.thefallenangeltattoo.com/ which is only about five miles away from our house.
It's a really nice shop!
I am trading on the prerelease today. Got a list of cards I still need (NPH and RoE mostly) and have 4 planeswalkers for trade, so shouldn't be too hard.

They're a monosex species. I'd just gotten bored of drawing regular suction cups by the time I got to the second two.

Yeah man, very solid shop there. I'm guessing Myk or Pat did the owl? Either way, that shop has a ton of talent, I'd get tattooed there.
Aha! I'm currently in the middle of my final pre-release event for the days. I've successfully run 2 18-person individual sealed decks, a 10 person 2 headed Giant, and 1 13 person individual release.
@Kank: Wife's tattoo does look good. I totally second the comments of Alien.
@Moss: That's a damn competitive Pre-release. Tell me the payout is like a box or 2 to top 8. It's gotta be super top heavy. In my 18-players, we took prize all the way down to 9th place. I spread it out, 'cause I mainly have fairly casual players who would rather get less prize but have a better chance at getting some. We also supplement with playmats and lifecounters and other give-aways. We fill our little shop for the main events most of the time, so I must be doing something right.
@Abby: Skeezy guys at Magic are skeezy. Use that FIST OF DOOM power to enforce some space.

@Slavan: We're pretty lucky that there really aren't any super skeezy dudes where we play. I can imagine a real skeeze would not be scared off by FIST OF DOOM unless it was accompanied by KICK OF DOOM. (it helps when FIST OF DOOM includes the RING OF UNAVAILABILITY)
We don't have a Top 8. It ends after 5 rounds. Those with 5-0 get a whole booster box, 4-0-1 netted you 21 boosters and 4-0-1 got you 6 boosters.
Still an unreasonably steep curve. If there are that many boosters to hand out, they should make the slope wider, not taller, so to say.
@Owl tattoo: Looks awesome!
@Al: Those look awesome.
@Archangel's Light: I made a joke somewhere saying that if it were 2W to cast and simply gained a flat 5 life rather than 2n life, it would be closer to playable. Though maybe it should shuffle itself in as well.

Where does the MIDDLE FINGER OF DISCONTENT come in?
3-1-1.
Despite having two Drogskol Captains and Counterpart, I just couldn't get to the top.
3-1-1 is nothing to be ashamed at.
Were there any prizes at that level?
No. Only at 4-0-1 and up.

I wonder if Neil Patrick Harris ever played NPH?
Sure! Who else is getting an owl tattoo? Raise your hand!
Ah, so it's just a coincidence then?

Oops. My bad. I meant 4-1-0.
Cute.
It was. But no matter how good your deck is, drawing those cards is another thing. One of the most annoying cards? Gravecrawler
We don't have a Top 8. It ends after 5 rounds. Those with 5-0 get a whole booster box, 4-0-1 netted you 21 boosters and 4-0-1 got you 6 boosters.
@Kank's wife: That's a really nice tattoo.

I'm not sure if I'd run that card. If anyone would run it, I'd be the guy though.
Still an unreasonably steep curve. If there are that many boosters to hand out, they should make the slope wider, not taller, so to say.

You da man! It was indeed Dr. Myk!
Yeah, my first thought at seeing NPH is never New Phyrexia.
Hence why Gravecrawler was one of only three cards that I said to myself, "Ooooh! I'd play that!" upon perusing the spoiler.
Where does the MIDDLE FINGER OF DISCONTENT come in?
Good luck man! Don't die or forget about us!
