Pearl, been power leveling and rushing through the entire game. I'll settle down and like actually EV train and whatever after I beat E4

I built some new decks and like disassembled almost all of my old ones. I now have:

Type 2 Legal:
WUB Permission Control
RG Gruul Beats
Crank Boom
Project-X
Null Harvest

Extended Legal:
Counterbalance Tog
Domain Zoo

EDH Legal:
WUB Reanimatior

Hey, who's interested in getting some big EDH games going on during Fanime?

If you're not familiar with the format, read it up here =]

There are a few revised rules that my group plays by:

-Starting total life is 200 divided by the number of players OR 40 if 200/players is less than 40

-The 21 damage rule is changed to Combat Damage (therefore the only banned General is Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary)

-Each time your General gets RFG'ed, it costs 2 more to play

-Generals cost at least 6 to play (for example if your General's converted mana cost is WUB, you have to pay 3WUB)






Reserved generals

Me- Chromium
rctan9- Intet, the Dreamer

Alright, cool.

If they have any Apple DRM'd files they can just burn to a CD from iTunes and then re-rip. Just a pointer.

[WUb Dralnu/Countermesa]

Right now I'm working on a blue/counter deck.

It's turning to be rather difficult for me to build a deck because I'm mostley a limited player (yay drafts!) and the only cards i have to work with are the cards I used in previous drafts... which means they are probably not always good for constructed decks.

When I get more money I'm going to start really looking into cards to make myself a nice control deck.

Hey if you need anything I've got a ton of T2 cards I'm looking to sell/trade off.

(removed per privacy policy)

deepbluevibes, if you can list any like money rares you happen to have lying around I might be interested.


Anywho, here's what I've got:

T2/Standard:

(Paper decks)
WUb Dralnu/Countermesa
Dralnu + Sacred Mesa, WoG, Condemn, -Deserts and crap

Gb Null Harvest
Null Profusion is a black planeshifted Recycle. The combo revolves around using Null Profusion to abuse Early Harvest over and over again into a 200+ point Demonfire or a 50+ storm count spell of your choice (my preference is Ignite Memories)

(Online decks)
Ub Pickles
Pickles is about recurring Vesuvan Shapeshifter and Brine Elemental to deny your opponent any untap steps and swinging for 10 per turn.

Mono Red Goblins
Goblins is pretty much about playing Mogg Sentry turn one, Frenzied Goblin/Mogg Sentry turn two (or Mogg War Marshal), Goblin King or Blood Moon turn three, and swinging in for the win.

Battle of Wits
Battle of Wits is self explanatory.

Null Harvest
See above

I actually want to pitch the idea of a T2 (Standard) constructed tournament. Any way we can give monetary prizes?

Something like:

4-5 rounds of swiss, cut to Top 8, Top 8 guaranteed prizes

I can get 15% off any of them since I have a friend working at EB.

Like two or three of my friends and I repack our Time Spiral stuff and redraft everything like twice a week for fun. I'll see if I can get people to goto Eudemonia on Friday, but we're going tomorrow to just pick up singles and stuff. There's a T2 Constructed tournament @ Great Mall in Milpitas this (and every) Saturday. The tournaments are either free or you pay to get in (depends on whether or not they're doing a "Next Set Promo" tourney yet). There's prizes and such (Store credit, 1st place gets a Planar Chaos booster box preorder if they're doing the promo). It also depends on whether or not people attend. Hopefully people come this Saturday. I'm just going tomorrow to pick up some extra stuff to finish up a Martyr-Tron deck since I'm tired of my current W/U/B control deck.

Now that it's officially announced that we'll have a whole month to max out Pokemon stats and all bring 100+ level Pokemon to Fanime, let's get a list of people who know for sure they'll be getting the game and want to participate in a tournament of sorts at Fanime =D

Is the Berkeley draft at Eudemonia?

I don't like Vintage/Legacy I feel that it's overpowered and not fun at all playing against someone who just goes "OK I drop all these expensive/rare cards and go infinite on turn 1. I win, thanks, bye, gonna go play someone else now". Same goes for Extended. The real game is in Standard, and I find it annoying when almost NOBODY plays T2 at Fanime. Whenever I asked someone to play this and last year, they would ask me what format and I'd say "T2" and they'd just frown and be like "Oh I can't afford T2 it's too expensive to keep up" and so I just go "Well just play whatever deck you want" and they start dropping P9 and crap :roll: Yeah T2 is too expensive for you since you wasted your money on Power 9...

Oh that's cool. I'm a constructed and limited junkie. I draft repacks with my friends to save money.

For constructed, I switch around decks but mostly run black/white control and for casual play I have a Coalition Victory deck that actually wins :3

I would absolutely love wo play some Magic: the Gathering with other people. Maybe even have a draft

I'm pretty sure there will be a draft like last year. I'm always open for T2 constructed =] What decks do you run?

Sure sure I'll play. As will a bunch of my friends who are like better than me at the moment -.-

I swear if Pokemon Diamond comes out before con time, I'm going to actually buy it instead of downloading it. I want to like battle other people :D hahaha.

Everyone should get the game so we can have like a huge tournament or something come con time.

What about  "Jump Super Stars" and Jump Ultimate Stars"?

Good idea.

As for Bleach that sounds fun too =D

I've got a few ideas for DS tournaments:

-Mario Kart DS
-Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (If it's out by then)
-Ouendan/EBA
-Metroid Prime: Hunters

Any other titles you guys are interested in having a tournament with?

Of course, it's B.Y.O.DS and game =P

In 2005, I spent about $100. In 2006, I spent about $250 (not including hotel costs).

This year, I'm limiting myself to $100 at the Dealer's Room. Maybe even less.

What about you guys?

This is my current "must buy" list:



I want the ANBU Kakashi and Itachi plushies.



I want the time-jump Gaara and Naruto plushies

I'll also be on the lookout for any Death Note movie DVDs (region free, unless I find a region-free player for my Macbook), the "pissed off Pikachu" plushie, a wooden sheathed katana, and an airsoft gun.

NOTHING ELSE, though, or I'll kill my wallet -.-

Unless, of course, something ELSE cool comes up.

Oh and I'm allocating $50 to DDR, Guitar Freaks, Magic: the Gathering drafts/tournaments/packs, among other things.

Magic is tabletop, not e-gaming.

But I'm totally down for a Magic tournament. Type 2 constructed, and I'm almost sure they're gonna do another booster draft in 2007. They did one in '05 and '06 (the years I went to con). Last year was RGD, I'm guessing this year will be Time Spiral block draft.

But I still want to do a T2 constructed one.

Problem with this is the attractiveness of the players and contestants.
