I'm definatly down for drafting on saturday at GoC's , I don't know about Mark's though, I always get hosed whenever I go there, the last sealed loss was unforgivable and unforgettable.
themanadrain.com and teamicbm.com are good places to start for t1 action, since the threads here are pretty stagnant...
not many decks in t1 play tundra, actually come to think of it the only duals played in competitive are Sea, Trop and Volcanic in that order - oh sorry and a lone copy of bayou in 'belcher decks.
thanks for the sites, i'll have to check them out later. so, it seems like i'm covered for t1 with my lands. excellent... of course, now i need power and other stuff, but i'll figure it out for whatever.
TO HELL WITH THE YANKEES, i say we adopt the dodgers so we can have a team that wants to win
i lost 20 bucks because i actually thought they would try to win today
never bet on sports. i still wish death on scott norwood for costing me $50 from the giants-bills super bowl 17 years ago.
as far as the "to hell with the yankees"... i say, to hell with a-rod, mr. non-october. oh, and if steinbrenner fires torre, i vow to not follow the yanks until george gives up the team. other years may have been torre's fault; this one was not.
If you guys draft on Saturday (or do sealed, whatever), let me know, I'm in.
Sunday is out of the question. Friday I may make it to FNM - will try to make it since it's the last pre-rotation one (or second-to-last right?)
well, saturday night looks like it's on. excellent! as far as FNM, we have 2 more FNM's before ravnica drops and lorwyn comes in. the crossover date is the 20th - the saturday after the 2nd FNM.

i hear you, i'm going mostly to collect some release foils and stuff. i definitely want to know who's down for saturday (especially if you're not going to mark's) because if we leave mark's early, we could get started earlier. i like to always assume i'm going to win out, though it hasn't happened yet. i'm telling you, watch mark open a retarded "sealed" deck...
listen, if enough people for saturday night are not going to go to the release, i may skip it also, and then we can start whenever and play maybe a few rounds... i'm cool no matter which way we pull it off. let's get some lorwyn on, boys.

I have to say, the yankees poor performance in playoffs had nothing to do with Torre, he led them to a heroic comeback from 16 games back to make the playoffs this year!! Now he's going to get fired?? Steinbrenner needs a stone cold stunner. Also what is every1 bringing to states??? I need to start playtesting for states immediatly. Also GoC, the email I sent to wizards about the player rewards product was thru the main page...goto wizards.com and click on "help" , in there you can email them, go thru the categories, explain to them what you want, as nicely as possible, even go thru and count up exactly what they owe you. They will probly tell you they will be sending product on the next mailing to you, I *****ed saying that they didn't send it and said that same thing last time. Good luck with that......it took me sooooo long to get everything straight with them. Also , my bad about the jets, but let me introduce you to a few face smashers, they're names are Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward and they're runnin' wild on the NFL. If the giants were not poisoned with having eli manning as their 'leader' that team has superbowl written all over em. Being a good QB means your heroic , Eli manning is not a hero, he's at best a roll with with some rotten cheese. Peyton manning is an incredible hero, full roast beef , pastrami , american cheese and all the fixins.

marks comics in vallystream, never heard of it to be honest
heh yeah it's relatively small, though they do release tournaments and other stuff (city champs, etc.). as you have probably figured out from prior posts in this thread, management is just slightly crookedinsane not where you'd ideally like it to be.

first, on the jets: hey, Just End The Season!!! i am glad that i am sort of passive with football lately. i just sort of expect the jets to suck, so it's interesting to me when they don't. but this 1-4 bull is about what i expect from them. the irony is, the early draft picks NEVER MATTER. EVER. the jets will always find a way to take the player who has NO shot at greatness. the last good pick they got was keyshawn; before that, i think we have to go back to the late 70's.
on the giants: just remember, the knock on eli was he never wins the big games. peyton had the same specter over him once. eli isn't peyton, though; he'd better straighten out in the "little" games or become a has-been that never quite was. oh, and don't get such a big head out of beating the jets - we suck, and even we know it. good luck the rest of the year, though.
oh, and thanks for the info re: wizards. i'm down for a fight for mah free cards

goo giants. gooooo jets, but go giants more, wooooot
anyway... i know joe torre personally, and that guy knows allot about baseball, if he gets fired, it will be the end of one of the biggest era's in Yankee history,
He certainly knows how to make a high prospect relief pitcher into total ****. I mean look at Tom Gordon, Farnsworth, and Proctor they all had a lot ahead of them but Torre overworking them(especially gordon) just destroyed their arm. The main reason why the angels beat us is because they out-manage us constantly.

the only one of those guys i can agree with you on is proctor... though, in fairness to torre, a lot of proctor's overuse was due to yankee pitchers repeatedly, and as a group, starting off the season on the DL.
gordon was already getting old, and he was serviceable but not amazing prior to his stint with the yanks. farnsworth always had great stuff and was always spotty. most yankee fans never realized how bad he was because he played in the NL before he came here. we got out of farnsworth what the cubs did - a guy who will always impress you with his stuff yet will blow games more often than the average relief pitcher.

Hmmm... I'll play the release at Mark's if I can get a ride... but I'd just as soon play anywhere else. If we can get in a sealed deck and a draft that would be awesome. Let me know what you are planning on.
I think fetterer is right about the g/b rack, it seems like the play , that deck just has a nut draw that NOTHING in the format can contest with. Turn 1 thoughtsieze, turn 2 augur of skulls, turn 3 stupor, I mean barring a mogg fanatic in play, that's just GAME right there. Your essentially ripping the guy's whole hand out by turn 3, given he has made 2 land drops. Then drop in a tarmy, oona's prowler or treetop village along with rack FTW. I'm working on a build that should be pretty damn good against the format. I'm going to post up the list shortly, it's been decided it will definatly be the deck I play at states. Losing Bob sucks for that deck, but I have been beaten by it multiple times without them even drawing Bob. Maybe it's a stupid idea but could harmonize find it's way into the deck? If any1 has any suggestions or ideas I'm all for it. Ugh now I just have to finish this work day and then I get to go pack busting crazy and drafting insane!!!!!
Asking that question , you must be from outer space son. All right boys, I think we got a wise guy here, lets show him what NYC is all about. (For one, clans are about people that got your back....anyone else care to add?)
Hmmm... I'll play the release at Mark's if I can get a ride... but I'd just as soon play anywhere else. If we can get in a sealed deck and a draft that would be awesome. Let me know what you are planning on.
well, that sounds like one vote for skipping mark's. who else is down on that plan? if i do, figure we'll start around 3-4 PM. let me know!!!
i'll be thinking about that. only negative i see to it - and it's a minor one - is that there isn't the wealth of mana-fixing (duals, etc.) in WB as compared to many other color combos. it's pretty much caves of koilos and pray you draw the right combo of lands to play your other stuff...
having said that, don't forget our friends the specters (hippie and shimmy).

even with moggy in play, hand rapeage on that level is pretty tight. besides, with turn 1 moggy, there is no way i play my augur until i have regen mana available for at least one time around - make them waste two cards to avoid the two-card discard? sure thing!
What do people get form clans? (not a flame just kinda new to all this)
well, i'd guess a lot of things. this clan is a little different than most other MTGS clans, as we all live in one general area. most of us know each other in real life as well, so this clan serves as a way to touch base with each other prior to events (or to plan our own), talk magic (special bonus that the "local meta" is the same for all of us!), and discuss, well... whatever else we want to. take a read through the thread to get an idea of what we discuss.
and, if you live in the tri-state area, you can join up and post up!
*edit*
I see most of well about all of you are outside the Island. Anyone in this group of bff4ev4 live on the Island? Or go to NG?
Also where is a good place to play magic and meet people other the NG, that happens to be on the Island? Also somewhere on the island there has to be a place that’s cheaper the NG for buying mtg cards.
I moved to NY over a year ago and just got put on new meds, so I can leave my house with out thinking I'm going to be kidnapped by a government agency or aliens. So now I can meet people with out wetting myself in fear. Believe it or not that is why I don’t know anyone in the city yet.
SO who wants to hang out *twitch*
