It is literally like 5 minutes off the Outerbridge Crossing so ya.. their website is www.timezonegaming.com so check it out for the address, contact info, etc. I think they are trying to 'level up' their TO status since they were off by 2 people last time, which is/was important for the smaller pre-releases.
On a lighter note, I am testing a new Naya aggro deck for standard on my downtime. Any ideas?
*TheDeadManX grins at GoC, as he really did keep true to his word from many moons ago that this would be the name of the new thread.*
Did you expect anything less? Besides, it's a solid name imo.

Can't until the weekend. One of my testing partners/pawns is playing it in New Zealand or Aussie Champs this weekend so no leakage until then .
After the weekend, when he is done, I can put up a list though. Just to warn you though, the manabase is sick expensive :(. Just looking for some basic ideas so I can think about it during work and stuff instead of actually working..

i don't worry about expense; i'm not a budget player as to thinking about that instead of working... i hear you, i get those opportunities every so often and i try to take advantage whenever possible.

so I just remembered the worst part about me going to an FNM in Jersey...I'd actually have to build a T2 deck, and learn how to play it...any crazy combos for me to have fun with? randomly screw someone's games up?? LOL...if not, Elf-Ball needs to be built, and I need help building it...:-D. Yeah, back-seating kinda sucks when your legs have the need to stretch...unfortunately right into the driver's or passenger's back every now and then.

T2 has an elf ball variant its pretty quick. No real "combo" as WotC does w/e it can to stop combo, due to it being "unfun" or something. I mean there is Kithkin+Chaotic Backlash via Painter's Servant, there is Reveillark, there is OMG HUNGRY SPRIGGAN+RELENTLESS ASSAULT.
In all seriousness, T2 is the following:
Fae
RxDW
Kithkin
5CC (Quick n' Toast)
Grb Ramp
Merfolk
Assorted Jank that are takeoffs of the aforementioned decks in other colors, that win occasionally but don't have the same quality as the others.

The lowdown on the Jersey store is that the general level of playskill is pretty low cept EVERYONE metagames like a *****. I went to FNM last night cause I needed gas (70 cents cheaper!! wtf?!?) so I built a BR blightning aggro deck in 15 mins. Apparently, the metagame for that week/month was RDW so ya... it was like 40% RDW/RB aggro, 35% Kithkin with MD forge tenders, 10% GW elf decks and 5% faeries.
Want my mini FNM report? I went 2-1... when I should of been 1-2 or maybe 0-3.
Round 1 vs WW - I run him over both games pretty nicely and easily, even though he says he has a good matchup with me. Only highlight of the game is me playing Blightning for his hand and the next 3 cards on top of his library were lands.
1-0 (2-0)
Round 2 vs RW knight deck - He plays turn 2 Knight of Meadowgrain, turn 3 Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers, turn 4 o-ring, turn 5 o-ring, turn 6 unmake, I scoop =[. Game 2, he goes, turn 2 Knight of the White Orchard, turn 3 Knight of the White Orchard, Ajani Vengeant, double Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers, blah blah blah, I lose.
1-1 (2-2)
Ruond 3 vs GW elves - Game 1 he completely owns me. Game 2, he plays turn 5 Oversoul of Dusk, turn 6 Oversoul of Dusk. By the time he plays the 2nd Dusk, I just start throwing burn at his head. His turn 7, I am at 15, he is at 9 life from double Flame Javelin and Incinerate. He plays Wilt-leaf Liege and swings for 14, putting me at 1 life. I eot Incinerate his head again, untap Threaten his Liege, swing back and Blightning for the rest of his life. Game 3... he plays turn 1 llanowar elf, I play Figure of Destiny. He taps out for Kitchen Finks and passes. I play land and pass back. He swings with everything and plays Sigil Blessing taking me to 12. I play a land and pass. He swings with Finks, I play the magma spray I topdecked on the Finks and post combat he plays turn 4 Oversoul of Dusk. Turn 4, I play a land and pass. Turn 5, he plays o-ring. In response to the spell, I kill his Llanowar and my Figure of Destiny so he o-rings his own Oversoul of Dusk (in pre-combat main phase =/ ) and passes the turn. From there on, he basically goes on tilt and I win the game and the match after punting both games.
2-1 (4-3)
I come in 9th =[ with top 8 of RB tokens, 3 Faeries (1 Esper, 2 'normal'), 1 RDW, 2 Kithkin and last one I forget.
1 more funny ass story before I go though. I made me laugh soooo much when I saw it happen.
Game 2 Kithkin vs Mono-Red in the Semis. Mono-red has in play 8/8 Figure of Destiny, Vexing Shusher and Stigma Lasher, 1 Ghitu Encampment and no cards in hand.
Kithkin has a 3/3 Knight of Meadowgrain in play, 1 flying Spirit token, a Battlegrace Angel and Elspeth, Knight-Errant and no relevant cards in hand.
Can anyone see what you are suppose to do?
He pumps Battlegrace Angel with Elspeth and swings with it. It gets owned by Figure of Destiny and dies.. without gaining any life..
WHAT UP?! I haven't played mtg forever guys. This game is still coming along nicely! I will hopefully start showing up at some FNMs. Looking to build an elfball deck but need to get some cards first. If anyone has the cards for it, I wouldnt mind buying them for cheap/decent price. I was also thinking about converting elf ball into legacy but I might just keep it in T2. Gotta go to a party, catch up with you guys later!

Thanks to SB4 at High~Light Studios for the awsome sig
Um...this question is going to sound a bit stupid, but it's bothering me, so I'll just get it over with. Why do these creatures have two different species'? Did an elf figure out how to have sex with a tree?
I need a new deck...srsly
i have been consistently losing with rdw to 5cc. i would like this new deck to not die to its own draws. i would also like it to beat 5cc. dont really care bout fae too much, just want to smash 5cc. please assist me with picking an archetype. that is all. good day to you gentlemen

NYC DARK KNIGHTS cred to perv 90210 for the incredible sig.
first off, i won at royal today. HT to samoht for staying home... i played slow bob round 1 (W 2-0), who was playing the lamest goblins deck ever. like, i don't know why he bothered throwing away the $5. click the card link if you don't believe me; they were in his deck. round 2 (W 2-1) i played vs the mono-U mill control deck. i lost game 1 only because i got smacked by traumatize for 24 cards (conveniently, LftL was still in my library... skillz...) but slow-rolled his counters in games 2 and 3 to send him packing. round 3 (W 2-0) was against gene. i landed balance into shackles both games and sent him packing. towards the end of game 2, i had him down to 4 (goyfing him for 6 a turn) with my lands in play. he consumes me for 5, passes the turn, then offers me the win for a 2-1. i laughed at him, like, "not with the win on the table for the 2-0." screw him, i ain't doing him any favors.

hahahahaha two things, first being that you can't call shotgun before the day-of - never mind that we don't even know for sure what day this is going to be! second...
yeah, mikey, at 6-foot-forever, matt gets dibs on shotgun in my car.
better be!
on a side note: OMG i can access MTGS from work again! yay!

And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
It is literally like 5 minutes off the Outerbridge Crossing so ya.. their website is www.timezonegaming.com so check it out for the address, contact info, etc. I think they are trying to 'level up' their TO status since they were off by 2 people last time, which is/was important for the smaller pre-releases.
On a lighter note, I am testing a new Naya aggro deck for standard on my downtime. Any ideas?
Did you expect anything less? Besides, it's a solid name imo.

throw up a decklist, we'll get with tweaking.
if you don't know what it's like to be 6-feet+ and sit in a back seat, you won't understand. as a big man, i have sympathy for other big men.
you know, sir, that i am a man of my word...
in other news, two things:
- no drafting tonight, i have to proctor an SAT tomorrow at 8am.
- my annual NEW YEARS' EVE party is on, at my house. more reminders forthcoming. come one, come all, have a blast!!!

Can't until the weekend. One of my testing partners/pawns is playing it in New Zealand or Aussie Champs this weekend so no leakage until then .
After the weekend, when he is done, I can put up a list though. Just to warn you though, the manabase is sick expensive :(. Just looking for some basic ideas so I can think about it during work and stuff instead of actually working..
i don't worry about expense; i'm not a budget player as to thinking about that instead of working... i hear you, i get those opportunities every so often and i try to take advantage whenever possible.

T2 has an elf ball variant its pretty quick. No real "combo" as WotC does w/e it can to stop combo, due to it being "unfun" or something. I mean there is Kithkin+Chaotic Backlash via Painter's Servant, there is Reveillark, there is OMG HUNGRY SPRIGGAN+RELENTLESS ASSAULT.
In all seriousness, T2 is the following:
Fae
RxDW
Kithkin
5CC (Quick n' Toast)
Grb Ramp
Merfolk
Assorted Jank that are takeoffs of the aforementioned decks in other colors, that win occasionally but don't have the same quality as the others.

Want my mini FNM report? I went 2-1... when I should of been 1-2 or maybe 0-3.
Round 1 vs WW - I run him over both games pretty nicely and easily, even though he says he has a good matchup with me. Only highlight of the game is me playing Blightning for his hand and the next 3 cards on top of his library were lands.
1-0 (2-0)
Round 2 vs RW knight deck - He plays turn 2 Knight of Meadowgrain, turn 3 Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers, turn 4 o-ring, turn 5 o-ring, turn 6 unmake, I scoop =[. Game 2, he goes, turn 2 Knight of the White Orchard, turn 3 Knight of the White Orchard, Ajani Vengeant, double Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers, blah blah blah, I lose.
1-1 (2-2)
Ruond 3 vs GW elves - Game 1 he completely owns me. Game 2, he plays turn 5 Oversoul of Dusk, turn 6 Oversoul of Dusk. By the time he plays the 2nd Dusk, I just start throwing burn at his head. His turn 7, I am at 15, he is at 9 life from double Flame Javelin and Incinerate. He plays Wilt-leaf Liege and swings for 14, putting me at 1 life. I eot Incinerate his head again, untap Threaten his Liege, swing back and Blightning for the rest of his life. Game 3... he plays turn 1 llanowar elf, I play Figure of Destiny. He taps out for Kitchen Finks and passes. I play land and pass back. He swings with everything and plays Sigil Blessing taking me to 12. I play a land and pass. He swings with Finks, I play the magma spray I topdecked on the Finks and post combat he plays turn 4 Oversoul of Dusk. Turn 4, I play a land and pass. Turn 5, he plays o-ring. In response to the spell, I kill his Llanowar and my Figure of Destiny so he o-rings his own Oversoul of Dusk (in pre-combat main phase =/ ) and passes the turn. From there on, he basically goes on tilt and I win the game and the match after punting both games.
2-1 (4-3)
I come in 9th =[ with top 8 of RB tokens, 3 Faeries (1 Esper, 2 'normal'), 1 RDW, 2 Kithkin and last one I forget.
1 more funny ass story before I go though. I made me laugh soooo much when I saw it happen.
Game 2 Kithkin vs Mono-Red in the Semis. Mono-red has in play 8/8 Figure of Destiny, Vexing Shusher and Stigma Lasher, 1 Ghitu Encampment and no cards in hand.
Kithkin has a 3/3 Knight of Meadowgrain in play, 1 flying Spirit token, a Battlegrace Angel and Elspeth, Knight-Errant and no relevant cards in hand.
Can anyone see what you are suppose to do?
He pumps Battlegrace Angel with Elspeth and swings with it. It gets owned by Figure of Destiny and dies.. without gaining any life..

BTW, we're still playing at royal - in the basement but still, come on down, just maybe leave the stinkin' pox at home hehehe
i'm going to try to make it but it doesn't look promising right now. that could change at any time, obv, but for now... not so much.
