I don't want to sound like a sore loser, (although admittedly I am a bit sore,) I just
wanted to point out that by Llan's standard of following the guidelines of the
competition my opponent GPM's card was quite off.
I think there was a little confusion in the actual intent of this round, but that's just how the ball bounces. It's a delicate balance to give guidelines for card-building without squeezing 50+ people into basically making the same card.

Unfortunately, your judge was not Llan, and each judge followed a different set of guidelines... For example, I didn't take that many points off for deviations from the guidelines because face it, everyone did it save for a select few...
well i guess i missed the 1st round so i'm already out...kinda sux, but i guess i'll just have to try to not not check up on here for a few days next month...
Good Luck to all

Put a card from your hand into play and put three cards from your hand into your library. Shuffle your library.
You may repeat this process unless you have no cards in your hand.
I'm afraid that you've already been eliminated from this month's competition because of the late submission. :slant: (Don't worry, it happened to a few other people as well.)

When you're only doing two things, no comma is necessary.
I never took points off anyone due to comma errors... It's just too common... The loss in points in the "wording" category was the lack of "target"...
And you are right, my error... Lack of commas is fine...
And even if you were to get full-credit for Wording, you'd still only be at 20 points...
By the way, your card picture kicked ass...

Er...14 days left in the month (counting today), and we haven't finished round 1 yet...
Houston, we have a problem. May I suggest that some judge...ANY judge...pick up the slack? SOS seems AWOL.
