@Yanni, your point is valid, for you I will never play it in Standard. Well, you never know, (lol, I doubt it). But will gleefully clutch them in either limited formats.
Fnm tomorrow. Brringing... rg aggro! Chea! I'm stoked and ready for a tournament after all these drafts.
I was go ing to go cube at FNM, but a friend called and I'm driving them to a Rush concert (for cash because they're going to you know)

I could see some 'poor' sap playing it in Constructed. And you'll be that guy that either stomps them or GETS stomped by it. It's the new True Conviction baby. Although this new dude doesn't give lifelink, so you could potentially race it. whatevs.
Loosely planning a 2HG excursion tonight. Should be an excellent 'waste' of $5. aka not hoping for much. We'll see what happens.

We had something similar to this two threads ago, but the Izzet were talking about doing something similir, but have not. Since that was months ago and they never went through with it, I'd say we are safe.
Hit the FNM up today, 17-person Standard. Placed second with my GW Blink, four packs and a beautiful, beautiful FNM Lingering Souls. Beat WRR twice, beat a BR Vampire deck and lost to mono-green aggro. Predator Ooze is without question one of my deck's biggest weaknesses. The one loss was to the guy who placed first so I could accept that. Prize packs kinda sucked though -.- Two Planar Cleansing, a Battle of Wits and Talrand, Sky Summoner. I love my promo though. How'd everyone else's FNM go?

@Necropsy, heck yea! You have the goods for gr aggro sans the caverns, right? I went 4-1 tonight, lost to esper Delver-Control in round 4, so it seems pretty nice.
@Krackshot, congrats! You've joined Dimir on the Planeswalker Points site, right? 33 points!
Here are our results for each round. These are averaged, rounded down using the available ratings.
Round 1
Kitchen Table Finks: 18
The Crafters: 21
Clan Flamingo: 20 The Gang: 17 Tolarian Academy: 20 The Pack: 23
Clan Mono-Black: 22
Round 2
Kitchen Table Finks - 22
The Crafters - 19
Clan Flamingo - 20 Tolarian Academy - 24
Clan Mono Black - 17
Round 3
Kitchen Table Finks - 17
The Crafters - 23
Clan Flamingo - 21
Clan Mono Black - 20[
So our overall averaged scores rounded down are:
Clan Mono-Black - 19
Clan Flamingo -20
The Crafters - 21
Kitchen Table Finks - 19
These are just our scores, though.
Too bad a few clans dropped out, as they all had totally legit shots. The Pack always does cool stuff for creative contests, the Gang showed a lot of fun potential, and The Tolarian Academy came out of left field with two great entries. I think I liked their round 2 submission better than any other card, save the ones we submitted.
Regardless of what happens in the rankings, this was one fun contest. I'm glad we all participated in the manner we did. Thank you all for your input:)
@Krackshot, congrats! You've joined Dimir on the Planeswalker Points site, right? 33 points!
I have most certainly, but it's only 11 points. :/ I'll take them though, every point counts.

Well, just traded Huntmaster of the Fells and two bonfires (1 foil) for a box of RTR. I'm happy! Can't wait 'til preorders ship!
wow that seems like a rip off.
130ish in value for a box? or was it too a store?
So I couldn't find any scalped tickets that weren't stupid expensive, but my friends gave me the t-shirt they caught. It has a picture of one of the band members as a kid and it says "my car goes fast" on the back. all an all, fun times, well worth the trip.

@Necropsy, you should have made that gr aggro deck!
I would, but once I can acquire some Hydras, I can get another 2 Bonfires for virtually nothing (100% Vorthos player only interested in Hydras, doesn't care about rarity or value) and I want a box of RTR to get shocks and I wanna build Jund beatdown control (I guess you'd call it!)

Gosh darn, it's the choice between a box and BOPS 2... I don't know what to pick

Speaking of PS points. I would LOVE to sign up for Dimir but I can't login. My old email is inaccessible and changing it didn't allow me to send my new password to my new one...ugh. Trying again now.
Played 2HG last night. 10 teams. went 2-1. got 4th. meh. Lost to mill. SURPRISE! half the store was running mill or turbofog.
Played in Mini-Masters today. Got FREE BOOSTERS! Went 2-1 for that. opened stuff. More in a later update.
After drafting in a 6 man pod. Choose triple Avacyn Restored. 1 guy opted for 2 INN, 1 DKA. sure.... >_> Went 3-0 cuz I'm a boss. Again, decklist and full run down later.
Demon seems pretty cool but only an opponent can sac dudes so you can't abuse sac outlets to ramp him up -.- Also triggers morbid on tragic slips. Seems playable though. Good with mutilate, if you play to clock, you should be able to eat everything else on the board with it
Esper and UB control need a finisher after gravey and consecrated rotate. This dude seems like the way to go.
Although lingering souls is a card- it will bring us a huge amount of pain unless Control can adapt it's strategy to indefinitely drop him T4 and just start making them sac and/or taking it in the face. I also see clone effects on this dude being usable, perhaps a t6 him+image would see play? Multiples of this dude just seem killer. He will be my finisher when I move back to Esper after rotation.

All right, now that CC number three is wrapping up, I think it's a good time to discuss the thread change. Any ideas on the new title?

To a store, but I really wanted a box And in New Zealand our prices are </snip>.
I would, but once I can acquire some Hydras, I can get another 2 Bonfires for virtually nothing (100% Vorthos player only interested in Hydras, doesn't care about rarity or value) and I want a box of RTR to get shocks and I wanna build Jund beatdown control (I guess you'd call it!)
