Bad news guys,
Jerome and I are going to have to drop out.
In Christ,
Josiah

We will try again next year.

So sorry bill I really appreciate your help.

No need to feel sorry, You guys were the one's who would have had to run the Gauntlet. We don't treat out of staters very kindly. Since Gabe is from Southern MN and Tim now officially lives in Minnesota. No one from outside the state has ever won the type 2 only. (Craig keeps trying but I don't think the game will last that long.)

Well as I get more and more into t2 I have realized several things about this past years nats. I got good draws, I had a gimmick that no one was ready for. I lucked out that very few people were playing CwD Iron Pan and Darius Decree. I also realized that many of the top tier players where not there or not participating in T-2. I also learned that a win over Jordan was potentially not going to result in a full win. A mistake was made in judging (we missed the call) that may have allowed him enoughim to hold on for a timeout loss instead of just a loss. I have no anticipation of beating Jordan should we play again, I am however working on a new gimmick and we will see if I can get as luky with this one as I did with the other one.

All that said after being repeatedly schooled by gabe and Justin I had no intention of coming to win but rather I was hoping to win 4 out of the 7 rounds. That would have been a huge accomplishment for me ImO.

I was just giving you a hard time. Winning Nationals was a huge accomplishment. There were plenty of top players there. I was actually hoping you might come here and win. It keeps the locals humble and a little hungry.

You're no walk in the park, Josiah. There's a reason you're the reigning T2-2P champion. You will be missed.

Seriously Josiah, you took a brilliant idea for a deck and you ran with it. Regardless of what happened during our game, I was clearly outdueled. When Bill told me you guys were coming, I was really excited, both to play you again, and also to hang out. It is really unfortunate that you can't make it, and I hope we can at least play at Nats this year.

A shadow from the past lurks...

An ancient champion known for his Orange while never using defense...

Will the full contingent of Fortress Alstad converge upon the premier Pre-Nationals tournament, the T2 Only?!?!

Guess you'll just have to show up to find out...  8)

You can get by 1 Alstad, 2 if your lucky, any more and it is divine intervention.

Cliff,

Wish you could of been here for Type 2 Multi last night. I humiliated the field of Five Type 2 National Champions by beating them with a deck built by 2 little kids. Yes, score a victory for the Geriatric Crowd. :)

I would like it to be noted that a card recommendation I made ended up playing a significant role in Count winning. Next time I'm keeping my mouth shut...  8)

The best (game-related) moment of the tournament was getting to see Wild Bill go undefeated through the first five rounds.

The second best was seeing Count Fount win his first Redemption tournament of any type ever.

Shhhhhhhhh... Please don't anyone tell STAMP that one of the notable items from this tournament is that ANB will most likely be getting another errata (or worse).
