Jund should have won because the most amount of people played it? I think it's great that something trumped it. I played Naya aggro in states last year, so its got a special place in my heart. Except for getting spanked by Ralph round one, it did allright
It is weird how you state magic is officially dead, yet has a lot of potential in the same post.
Well since no one could lend me Living Wishes, I had to play Solidarity. It was fun. Combo'd off with lethal on the stack 3/6 times. was good.
Man, I could have lent you the living wishes. I have a **** ton of them cause thats when i used to have money to spend. But I never see you guys anymore.

i'm considering hosting a get-together for sometime in december - either on a saturday (except the first) or during christmas break. anyone who is interested in participating should let me know (in PM is best) what days they'd be available so we can determine the best day possible to do this.
in addition to that, i am hosting a new year's party this year (like every year) and of course you guys are invited. PM me for more info. i'm sure i'll be reminding you guys a few more times between now and then. come out and chill!!!
(EDIT: FROWN on wizards for states being on the same day as the ****in SAT. :argh:)
bmiles: i still need living wish x3. i'd be willing to trade/buy them. it's no big deal, i have plenty of legacy decks that can smash in the interim. let me know.
ralph:apparently i can take the b38 to the q, and that gets me to you in about an hour. who knew? let me know about bi-weekly/monthly saturday get togethers.

So, it seems that there are a number of Magic players in the Honor's program, and we plan on holding some regular drafts. Probably not going to be able to get a full 8, though. Shame it has to be Zendikar, but I'll take it, I guess.
yeah but it's all the same weekend. certainly not by accident!

well the first one will be this up and coming one that we are planning out now. anyway, you do realize that i am by the D and not the Q... right? anyway, which Q stop does the B38 take you to, because i'm guessing it's around atlantic/pacific, where you can get the D.

Hey guys, I just got a text from Igor who works at montasy.
He's informed me of a t2 tournament on saturday, it's sanctioned and there is a judge and first prize is a mox ruby.
Honestly, I dont stand a shot at winning, but I want to try.
Anyone else want to go

I have begun a quest to amass a collection of bazaar traders and any donations would be greatly appreciated
bazaar trader count: 115 including;1 portugese foil; 7 english foils; 4 russian nonfoils
Volkan Baga should do a chrome mox art
@nerer0cket: i would like to go but i really hate montasy so i feel like it isn't worth it because my deck sucks also how much does it cost
Apparently its 25 bucks after they get up to 20 people, If they dont get 20 people they are going to drop the price to 10 and give out packs instead of the mox.
Im thinking about going but I would need to find someone to lend me like 3 cards.

25 for a Mox standard tourney isnt that bad. I'll think about it I guess. If i'm not going i can give you the cards on friday.
Speaking of: Black Friday DRAFT! If you're interested, we're holding a draft at either my or Gungadi's house on Friday night at 6pm. PM/Call me if you want to come. If I get enough interest, Ill buy a box and draft sets will be like 8 bucks. If not enough people respond, then Bring Your Own Packs! Either way let me know.

$25 for a simple standard tournament's a no-go for me... sorry.

that was an exaggeration KG is probably a little closer to me than royal is to you. to get to my house, you have to get off the D train at 18th avenue.

i think i'll still be going to mark's on friday - he didn't cancel FNM to my knowledge, and i have to make a "stop" on the island afterwards anyway.

Mark's never cancelled FNM on Black Friday, he always has it. GoC, if you dont mind, can we do the same arrangement as last Friday? I run down to you and we jet over there? Let me know...
Samoht, maybe we can hold another draft after FNM, late Friday night? Maybe we can tinker something workable for everyone. Text me and let me know...or just reply here, its still early enough to make plans situated.
P.S. - After FNM, Mark wants to try to hold $8 drafts regularly, but only if 8 people are down...I don't know if there's anyone over there who will want to do this, but feel free to let me know if a) you guys can make it after Royal's FNM with transportation there/back, and b) if you guys are interested.

i can't promise to be a regular drafter. theoretically, this week i could be down, but i have another, far more important (to me, at least) mission to run after FNM. next friday draft is also out, as i have work that saturday. i don't know what the status is after that. with my roommate moving in, though, i sense i won't want to stick for drafts often because something better will be going on over this way.
GoC, we can put the $8 draft as your gas money each week from the transportation, if that happens. I definitely don't mind doing that in the least. It's upto you, though...I cant fight the "better activity" waiting for you, though...unless we know 4 people at least who want to pay $10 for a draft set, and if you'd be willing to host a weekly draft after FNM, with the full knowledge of what is to be expected @ your house. This Friday, however, I cannot draft. I am working a 7AM-11PM double shift on Saturday, I just learned.
If any of the crowd from Royal wants to come (Samoht, Mark is usually gone by the time the draft starts), you guys are more than welcome to, but we would need knowledge beforehand. You all have my number, feel free to use it to get in touch with us as far as the post-FNM draft goes.

well, if we were to do a draft at my house, we should go the box route as per "normal." i have no problem with hosting; i'd be surprised if my roommate would not be cool with it, but i'm going to put it out there just the same. i'm going to try to get him into magic, too... i'll have to build up a few decks out of my scraps so i can lure him in. (any suggestions for the content of these decks would be welcome.)

well, mono-green Eldrazi is actually a deck with a decent outlet of things to get him into the game with. Introduce him to mana, creatures, attacking, mana curve, token producing, activated abilities of creatures, non-basic lands, and Planeswalkers. It's actually a good deck to learn with, in addition to being VERY powerful if done right...
Or, for Mr. Stoney, just build him mono-black Vampires, and he should be happy, too...:-D
mono white soldiers offers the same things, but with greater simplicity.
as far as GoC's house, it's too far for me to get to unassisted. same with mark's.

a) I'm always down for drafting wherever they may be.... I have my own transportation so just lemme know... though 8 bucks seems good. Back home we used to go to ihop afterwards and play for a while before everyone dispersed. I could diner drafts in the future.... Oh, speaking of diners, I love these things, breakfast food at any time of they day? CRAZY. Though I'm not sure I can get on board with those fizzy milkshake egg things...forget what they're called
b) where is states going to be?
c) yea mono white or vamps seems like the easiest to start from competitive wise. Or getting some m10 precons seems reasonable. I just used a bunch of proxy fodder and made 2 highlanderish decks when I was teaching my girlfriend how to play. Made sure I had cards with all of the basic keywords between the two decks. Had a few card draw/2 for 1 esque cards to introduce her to card advantage, and we played everything at sorcery speed for a while. But then again she has little to no gaming experience whatsoever so the learning curve was fairly high.
d) if you have an oblivion ringed creature, can you cast BTE naming white so that the ring falls off? just curious
c) Eldrazi has a sharp curve, but is definitely better suited for his roommate, who has prior (and current) gaming knowledge. To learnMagic through Eldrazi, you get everything soldiers gives, plus you also gain knowledge about activated abilities of creatures, triggered abilities, and non-basic lands. For him, I think Eldrazi would be better, seeing as how you can bring him in as an advanced player, not as a n00b.
d) No. Oblivion Ring is not enchanting the permanent, Oblivion Ring is its own permanent. It is not "attached" to anything. The permanent is exiled. Therefore, the ONLY way to get the permanent back is to get rid of Oblivion Ring. Think Faceless Butcher. The only way to get the creature back was to destroy the Faceless Butcher. Oblivion Ring is not Damaging, Enchanting/Equipped to, Blocking, or Targeting (past resolution) the permanent. Because there is no permanent.
