I finished 10-5 at GP Oakland. No cash, but I did get another much needed Pro point. I was definitely short on hate for matchups that went wide as all of my losses were to decks that flooded the board.

I'm going to be playing B\R Dragons this weekend at the GP in Oakland.

Just booked flights for the GP in Oakland next weekend and the SCG Open in ATL on the 23rd. I'll see you there Heylel.

@Heylel. In reference to the compensation you receive for judging. I agree that it's low, but you're an exception to the typical judge in that you're well educated and have a great career. A lot of judges are fucking degenerates who won't work and couldn't survive without the 3 to 600 dollars...

Opened a case. I got an expected spread of regular cards. Only one expedition, a Prairie Stream.

I think I invested about 80 hours in to before I beat it, but I fucked around a lot. The game was great, but I really disliked the main story. Also, the expansion being a lot less relevant if you've finished the game sucks ass.

I'm obviously doing my own thing, but if any of you come across a standard deck in the next two weeks you have a really strong feeling (backed by actual testing) would be competitive in a Pro Tour meta and wouldn't mind sharing the list, ship it to me. I'm not on a major team and not too proud...

I'm not going tonight. So fucking tired of shop owners offering absolutely laughable prize support (6 packs for an undefeated record) because they know they could give the winner a bag a saw dust and people would still show up. Fuck that shit.

I know Majors personally, he's from my old Magic circle. Pretty sure Heylel knows him too. Good dude.

In addition to being solid decks, both the U/R Thopter and U/W Heroic decks are extremely punishing on new or just bad players. It's a good deck choice for trying to win a Game day. I played in neither this weekend. I lost in the finals of a Sealed PPTQ on Saturday and got completely ranched...

Ya, I think so too. Jeff gets a little salty when he loses, but I've never seen him be a complete ass to an opponent. My issue is that he's cocky as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I like what Jeff does and often play decks similar to the ones he champions, interacting with him in person is a not a pleasant experience.

If the Turbofog deck can make it past the first few rounds without a loss, it should generally do well. Reason being, existing red decks have an extremely uphill battle against all the Abzan, GW, and even G/R decks so they tend to get pushed out. The Turbofog decks don't appeal to me so I...

Anyone going to be at the GP in Dallas this weekend?

I guess I wasn't clear when I said it was a waste of time and money. It is for me, but I can certainly understand the appeal to a lot of players. I started playing just after Alpha sold out and quit around Weatherlight. I came back to the game just before Dragons Maze. Even as a kid I never...

Why do you seem to be taking it personal that I don't enjoy casual Magic? I just moved 750 miles and don't know a soul that plays locally. Not that it matters, I've never enjoyed casual Magic except with the best of my friends. Being almost 40, I have very little in common with most Magic...

Perfect.

This any better?

No, they're literally copy and pasted from Facebook.

The best friend of my youngest brother was killed on the 4th of July. He was a police officer and one of the good ones. He also left behind a wife that he married 3 months ago. I want to make a small gesture but I am completely hopeless with Photoshop. The first photo is my brother and...

I guess I truly am the definition of spike. I don't play in pre-releases, especially not ones around here where you're basically paying full individual pack retail for the event and has utter shit for prize support. It's a complete waste of time and money. If it doesn't qualify me for an...

So, I won a Regional PTQ last weekend. Now qualified for Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar.

I did, but I sold my house and moving back to Oklahoma on the 7th.

Won Gameday at two different shops on Sat/Sun. Sold both mats and the Thunderbreak promos for $110. I wouldn't even have gone but I am still short a few PWP for two byes next year since I had to take off almost 5 months this season. I'll be at the Open in Dallas to finish things off.

Agreed. I won Alabama Standard states and our TO just used the minimum payout unlike many of the surrounding states who made each day 1ks in addition to the stock prizes.

I will be more than likely.

I'm level 8 and the only bug I encountered (pre patch) is the Ranger pet death debuff sticking until I swap them out and back in to the party.

Leaving for the Invitational in the morning and sticking with Abzan control. I still feel like the deck is well positioned with the upgrades of Duress, Dromoka's Command, Ultimate Price, and Dragonlord Dromoka. The first three cards are obvious. The Dragonlord is definitely spicy but I think...

So, the next Invitational is the same weekend Dragons becomes legal (due to the change in the block system). Looks like I am going to be raped by pre-order prices as I won't have access to cards if I don't buy them from SCG.

My comment was general in nature. It wasn't directed at you, Enzie.

No sympathy here either. I can't count the number of times I have been in turns (by virtue of the match up, slow play, etc) and having my opponent in a hammer lock yet they refuse to concede despite the fact that a draw is just as bad as a loss excluding some rare situations. GP New Jersey...

Fake tits for sure. Women can't get those kind of low body fat levels without their tits disappearing or deflating in to saggy bags. Ass is mostly genetics (pelvic tilt, etc), diet and hard work. Butt implants are extremely obvious if the woman isn't overweight.

I'm 37. No debt. No kids and no plans on any. 40k in a 401k. I don't know any of the details about what you're referring to Blazin, but I would like to learn. The reason I chose Vanguard is the minimal fees and from what I've read managed funds rarely (if ever) beat the returns of buy...

We're certainly not rich. What I meant by my "make enough" comment is that we can allow it to grow without being tempted to touch it.

I've got 400k sitting in my checking account (it's what was left over after a settlement) and I have decided to invest in Vanguard because I know enough about investing to know that I don't know enough about investing. I've always been very financially responsible. I have no debt, I have a...

I'm still qualified for the next 3 or 4, but I haven't yet convinced my wife to allow me to be away for 4 days while we are already away visiting family for Christmas.

I won game one and game two ended in 6 turns after I got Waste/Loam locked. So, no that wouldn't have mattered.

I'm on the plane headed home from GPNJ. The tournament didn't go anywhere close to what I expected. I am damn good at Legacy, but there's not a lot I can do about players who don't have a lot of experience with the format bordering on slow play every turn. I only took one loss, but I...

Preparing for GPNJ, I've jammed about 100 matches playing BUG Delver on MTGO in the last 48 hours and I keep getting shit on by Miracles. My build is more tempo oriented which may be incorrect for the current meta.

Anyone going to GP New Jersey? I just booked my flight.
