I was just coming here to post this. I'll update the round 1 post.

I heard that Peepysqueeps guy is a real gem of character and integrity

Yeah, so just copy and paste this...I've made it simple for you.

Also, was tsh1rt the one that won the Apex Preditor challenge in Magic 2015? I keep confusing him with tself. I have a feeling he is better that I'm willing to accept.

Congratulations to me for winning all of the round 1 matches. Woo!

Why would you be worried about how good your opponent is when you can only affect your own play?

Don't worry Gemini, I'm not even entirely sure how to play magic.

Oh dear God... against Beast right away.... oink! :-) I shall send you a PM on Xbox Beast.

Don't worry. I'm terrible. I'll be another bye week for Gemini when we face off.

Yes.. PM away!

I can see video coverage of at least six matches, good stuff!

Hope my computer doesn't crash, cause that happens from time to time... I guess it's OBS since the laptop is pretty new. Anyone that has the same problem?

Lol! :-)
PM is send!

It's only 8 hours away from the submission deadline and we are waiting on 5 decks to be submitted. Anyone who wants to be an alternate should submit a deck list to DJ0045 as soon as possible and you will replace anyone who misses the deadline. Priority will be given to whoever PMs DJ first.

The deluge... It's coming. Tell you what Hakeem. If all else fails, I'll enter. The prize is roughly = to what getting all the cards will cost me. jk

Come on peoples, get your decks in.

I can't decide! Nothing runs consistently enough IMO! I have a Abzan crats list that floods out with 24 land, I have an Esper Control list that can't get any opening hands with more than 1-2 mana that's running 26 land. My most consistent deck is Rakdos Aggro but I think it'll get worked over by good players in the tournament. It's been a rough week of testing.. very frustrating.

our resident Timmy isn't considering Ramp? :o

not even midrange?

Timmy should I call the doctor?

Dude, just run my Gruul Ramp list. It has good matchups against the field.

It's just so slow and dies to aggressive starts if it doesn't hit a sweeper. It's also bad vs counter spells except Gaea.. and you can bet your bottom dollar Covert and Gemini are gonna play counter decks after the ego massage those two gave each other over that Esper list.

Covert really likes winning and really, really dislikes losing. I'd be fairly surprised if he went with Esper. Not that it's bad, it's just too fair compared to the broken things his beloved GR Ramp can do.

DJ, you can't play in a tournament for $100 cash prize when you've seen all the deck lists! lol
