Masterflex is away until Tuesday currently so we're doing it at some point on Tuesday, although there is an 8 hour time difference so we need to work around that somehow.
Well I'd just private massage him asking him about his specific schedule Tuesday and tell him what's times you are free, that you'll be checking your msg's frequently Tuesday for whenever he is ready.
Lost 0-2. If you were wondering, I was not playing tokens (I do that a lot irl) I was playing esper gifts/wrath of god control. The win-con was wurmcoil, or Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas making my ink moth nexus, or dark steal citadel a 5/5.
I won 2-0, my GW Hatebears versus his Jund. Luckily I'm favored versus Jund, G2 was close though, he had a Thrun and a 10/10 Scavenging Ooze which was hard to deal with. Game one I put him far behind with me on the play with turn 1 land Noble, He plays a fetch and passes, turn I go to end my turn he cracks his fetch so I flash in Aven Mindcensor.
We did have a disagreement though game 2. I went to Path his Tree Top Village. He put the Tree Top in exile and went to search, I pointed out Leonin Arbitor and that he couldn't pay two mana to search. He then wanted to Bolt in response, I said he's already resolving the spell and doesn't have priority to cast Bolt.
Lost 2-0 Game 2 I stabilized at 3 life my opponent flashed in a Huffwing at the end of my turn after I had just dropped a Batterskull and had ground blockers covered with Thrun, Goyf and an 11/11 Ooze to his Thrun, Brimaz and Stirring Wildwood and got beat by probably the only card that could've beaten me at that point - Qasali Pridmage! I'm kinda gutted about that last game! I don't mind losing though, it was a terrible MU for me anyways and it's 3am here which was really effecting my playing, I just wanted it over with really lol. They were good games regardless and my opponent played his deck well.
I have 4 Nobles, 4 Pridemage, so 8 Exalted triggers, 3 nobles were exile so there were 5 cards I could top deck at that point to win.
My best match ups are Pod, Twin, GB/x decks like Jund, and a lot of fringe combo decks. My 'bad' match ups are Merfolk, Tron, Affinity, Living End, though even those decks aren't terrible match ups per say just unfavored.

I'm now slightly indecisive about the decklist that I want to run.
I'll give it a couple of days thought, just got back from a field trip on the other end of Australia.
Same here, except I didn't take a trip to Australia... wish I had though

List and info will be ready tomorrow, I've spent the last 2 hours trying to make my deck less of a pile. The sheer pressure of the fact that I have to actually consider that people around here know most of my tricks is horrifying.... Thank <insert deity of major belief system> for Prozac.
Is anyone going to try to record any of the games? I might be able to Stream the ones I catch, if I can get my laptop to handle Twitch. Stuff like this is difficult, because the microphone jack on my main rig is shorting or something.
EDIT: By tomorrow, I mean later today, considering that it is 1 in the morning.

Cant be much worse then last month though eh?
Maindeck is fine, sideboard is probably the point of contention.
