I loved the giant-size cards that InQuest used to give out. Anyone else have a giant Chaos Orb? Hee hee, flip, destroy ten lands.
Yeah, I do.
I didn't own any of these, but in general I liked the magizines. Just not the price guides. They were great for Plane Rides/other non-electronic adventures.
Round 0: I make sure my cards are ok with the kinda crappy judge. After like 20 mins, he thinks that they are ok. His main complaint: Part of the mana symbol in Stinkweeky was blacked out, and "Could be confused with a 7 or 1." WTF mate, I had to explain to him all the judge procedings when things like this happen. Jeez, mate, learn to judge. But whateves.
Round 1: Me: mull twice
Get land flooded, swing with Dryad Arbor and Narc, he gets stuck on land.
He goes to 12 and now has 4 land. He casts: Korlash (!?!). Granduers another, and now hes fine on land.
I (FINALLY) Draw a dredger. I play stinky. He tendrils it and goes to 19. He swings, I chump, get a zombie. I dredge, into nothing. I swing, for 2 with zombie, and he draws, swings, and I chump with zombie. He then plays Consult the Necrosages (!?!) to draw two.
I dredge, (With 3 life due to LED) And dredge nothing but Ichorid. I flashback a Deep analysis (4 life because of other LED) and dredge another Ichorid. I flashback a Therapy, naming Korlash, he has FoW, along with Dimir House G, and Tendrils.
He swings, I chump. I get double ichorid, and beat, he goes to 11. He swings, and I chump (with Putrid). Next turn, I double Ichorid, swing for 9. He goes to two.
So he draws, and I now know that he has to either tendrils his guy to get rid of my bridges, or my creature. He swings with Korlash, so I now know that he is going to tendrils his creature (He buys himself a turn). I don't block, to make sure that I don't give him another turn, I go down to 3.
Now get this, he Transmutes his Dimir House G. for CLUTCH OF THE UNDERCITY. that kills me.
Game 2, I mull only once
Its a long game, that involved me willingly eating all my bridges, that set me up for the win. It was another long game.
Game 3 (We have 1 min. +5 turns) Here, I decided to play it out, simply because I know that I can win in 3 turns (or 2, depending on shuffling and whatnot)
I only mull once, but that is enough for us to start on turns. he won the die roll, so I have two turns to go crazy.
Turn 1: Draw, discard Grave-troll
EOT: Cycle Wraith (dredge 6)
Still EOT: Cycle Wraith (dredge 6)
Upkeep: Double Ichorid
Draw: Dredge 5: TRIPLE (!?!) Narc.
Land, Putrid Imp: Discard hand: Flashback dread return on Sage (here I am thinking that I got it, hes stuck on one land (He played Grave tapped)) and he Forces. He then tells me its his only FoW and only non-STD card. I am ashamed, and quite grumps. Meh, tis a tie.
Round 2: Thomas (Cool guy) playing Belcher
Here, we are shuffling, and I casually ask him if he would like to conside. He says that he probually should. Me, confused, ask if thats a yes or no, and he casually says yeah. He gives me back my cards (ALL THE DECK) and I sketch it in as a win.
Round 3: Scoot playing UGr Thresh (he plays)
Game 1: I play land therapy on FoW. I hit one, he has little more than.. well, nothing.
He draws, plays land, and passes.
I draw, play land, and play Putrid Imp, he Counterspells (BAIT FTW). I play LED, crack it, with Breakthrough on the stack. I mill infi and get a lethal zombie army.
Here, I acually SB ridding of the dread return plan for Leyline of the Void and Chalice
Game 2:
(turn 0): Leyline of the Void
He goes land brainstorm crypt.
Me: Land go therapy for daze (don't know why not FoW) and wiff, and play chalice (at 0)
Him Werebear go (me eot crack Heath for breeding pool)
Me land chalice at 1.
Soon, i dredge my imp into a narc, which he in resp. Crypts me.
After like infinity turns later, I have Thug and double Stinky and he has trips werebears. I am swinging with stinkys for two a turn, and it appears that he has no outs. He then plays ancient grudge on my chalice at 1, and forgets that the Leyline of the Void allows for no flashbacking. He doesn't have many 1 mana spells, and my second Chalice at 1 seals the game.
For the record, Scoots plan was to grudge the on at 0, play pyroclasm, then crypt me. It would have worked, and he had dragon in hand, so whateves.
Me, 2-0-1. 2nd. got like 6 packs of coldsnap because I am that cool.
A friend of mine knows a cop who gives him access to property seizures...and often gets cards out of it. His Black Lotus cost him about $350. I bought my Time Walk off him for instance. Not only did I get a good price but I got to pay in installments. My Library of Alexandra I got in a trade for some Foils for a Madness deck. It was in beat shape so I got it for $30 in trade, and actually the foils cost me next to nothing.
Also, ETW tokens. Right now, the decks you need to meta against are really GAT and Flash, considering thats litterally the only decks you played against. Some random cards that are pretty bad that could help against stax are Shadow of Doubt and luck drawing.
GAT, as you have exploited, gets very little amounts of creatures into play. Playing Maze of ith and the Edicts are good. I like the Edict more, but it gets countered, but if they resolve gush and everything else and and eat their GY or devote their resources to making it large only to have it die, while Maze is uncounterable and just stalls until they draw another guy, in which time you should have all their cards irrelivent.

Dunno, just rough templates.
Funny funny. Kinda.
Megaman = Human in armor with gun strapped to arm.
Master chief = Geneticly altered and trained human with armor holding a gun.
Meh, I like Chief more too.
Edit: 900th.
Its like they got a bunch of still frames and final cut and decided to add some effects. STUPID.
Grr.
Guhubada! Why with the rides?
Yes, I want rides.
Yes, I should get some extra dredger guys.
Yes, Robert Vroman made fun of this on his gallery thing.
Yeah, I do.
I didn't own any of these, but in general I liked the magizines. Just not the price guides. They were great for Plane Rides/other non-electronic adventures.

Me swing with elf, him, Slaughter pact.
Me: Bust.
Acually, that is quite common at http://Propertyroom.com
Dunno, it seems pretty good, I was glad it wasn't Flash and Slivers all day, with some diveresity in the T8.
I will be playing Ichorid... Yeah.
