I don't have any decks period right now. I'm still thinking on what I'm going to play. If I need to build an extra one, let me know so I'll have plenty of time to do so.

I can put one together too. And I think Eric still has an extra, I know Chris Fach and Kirk do.

I have two extra, and they are no slouch decks. They are just decks (mostly easy to use metagame types such as AocP abuse) That I have for my other playgroup members to use. I tore one of them apart tonight but I can have a suitable replacement built pretty soon. I have a FbtN Banding deck that I have been wanting to build and I have most of the cards, I just need to put a defense with it.

So If I build that one, I will have 2 decks that are solid, easy to play decks, that they can use.

OK guys, I can confirm that I have 4 guys coming with me. So whatever T2 decks you can put together for them, that'd be great.

crustpope · « **Reply #85 on:** July 01, 2010, 01:11:00 PM »

GA did sweep almost all. I had a very rough tournament. I misplayed my t2 deck and lost big time. In booster I kept getting 4 LS's and then failing to make the 5th... it was the always a bridesmaid and never a bride tournament for me. :/

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #86 on:** July 01, 2010, 02:22:17 PM »

Prof's Tourney Report:

Fri night: T2-mp (no idea), T1-mp (described below), Sealed Deck (I did poorly)
The first game I was paired up with the Fachman brothers and one of my KY guys Drew. The Fachman brothers decks were fast, and I had a hard time keeping up, but there were a LOT of great stops throughout the game and by the end everyone was all tied up at 4 LSs. We went around the table again, but no one was able to get to 5 so we timed out at a 4-way tie.

The 2nd game, Drew and I rolled the dice higher and got bumped up to play with the big dogs who won the other game (Crustpope and DJWT). I was blessed with an incredible draw. My first attack was blocked by DJ, but then I sniped his EC while taking a LS from Drew on my 2nd turn. My 3rd turn DJ learned from the last time and just gave me the LS. My 4th turn I got a LS off someone, and played SoG/NJ for the win. Drew came in 2nd and also made it to the champ table for the final round.

The 3rd game was with myself (4pts) Daniel Fachman (4pts), Crustpope (3pts), and Drew (2pts). I was blessed again with an incredible draw, but there were going to be things that could mess it up. At one point in the game I had SoG/NJ in hand, but only 5 cards total. Crust had set aside with the teal GE and was deciding how many cards for each of us to put under our decks. If he picked 4, then I’d lose either SoG or NJ to the bottom of my deck. Thankfully he picked 3. Then later in the game I had rescued 3 LS, and still had SoG/NJ in hand. But there were 0 LSs on the table for me to take. Crust had Hur in his territory and was planning on attacking me with him on his turn. That would’ve also sent 1 of my combo back into my deck. But amazingly on Crust’s turn he drew 2 LSs, and I was able to take them both for the win before he could attack me.

Sat morning: T2-2p (I slept through it after staying up until 5:30am playing Sealed Deck).

Sat afternoon: T1-2p
The first game I was paired with DJWT, and was blessed with all the right stuff for a 5-0 win. The second game I was paired with adotson (who I’ve played online, but never live). I was blessed again and won 5-2. The third round I was playing RTSmaniac, and this time he was the blessed one. I already had 4 LSs, with SoG/NJ already played. I was going in for LS #5 and he had no way to stop me. He played Mayhem, drew the 2-liner (which he gave me half), and his SoG (which he used to win 5-4). The last game was against Crustpope, and I was blessed once more, and got all that I needed for a 5-2 win. RTSmaniac went on to win the championship game against CaptainKirk 5-1, so I came in 2nd overall due to differential.

Sat evening: Booster
Opening packs would’ve been a complete disappointment if it weren’t for the generosity of CaptainKirk and RTSmaniac who were in my group. I never saw an UR (or even a good rare like CotH) except for the ones they passed me (WoP, Altar of Ahaz, and one of the Armor of Gods). AofA didn’t even make it into my deck, but it’s always nice to walk away with gold-bordered cards. I was pretty concerned about how good their decks must have been to pass those on though. I was also concerned about my offense which had to be split across 4 brigades, and which I never saw a character to fit with my Tin theme of prophets. I liked my defense though which was solid Grey and seemed pretty decent. It turned out that none of our decks seemed very good.

The first round, RTSmaniac had such an awesome defense that he basically didn’t get attacked all game. Thankfully his offense didn’t show up, which gave the rest of us time. CaptainKirk and I just kept attacking each other and taking LSs until we were tied at 4. My defense never really worked out as well as I hoped, and Kirk ended up getting the win.

The second round, I was paired again with RTSmaniac and with adotson?. Adotson started drawing awesome defense right off the bat, and it looked like I wouldn’t be able to get any LSs from either of them that game. Thankfully, RTSmaniac’s defense didn’t show up that game and Adotson couldn't draw a hero to save his life, so I was able to walk in for several easy LSs. Finally, I was able to sneak past Adotson’s defense for the win.

The last round, I was paired again with CaptainKirk and Daniel Fachman (who I had no idea had the most awesome Booster deck ever). Daniel had the Phillys on defense and drafted Garrison to go with them. He also had 2 copies of Morgan and 2 copies of a WC EE to go on him. It was nasty, and the only soul anyone got off him the whole game was a sneaky one I took with Ehud CTB. He also had an awesome offense with Daniel heroes and a drafted Daniel and MICHAEL to band to. Thankfully some of this offense was discarded by blocks that I made on Kirk, and some by the deck-discard LS, and some with blocks that I made against him. So his offense ended up not doing too much for most of the game. My defense really did show up that game and I was able to stop both opponents on many blocks and wipe out most of the best heroes in the game. However, Kirk’s defense also did really well and wiped out most of my good heroes. In the end it came down to us all being tied up again at 4 LSs, and going around the table a couple more times. Finally I was able to attack Kirk with Ehud CTB and hope that I picked an EC that he had run out of EEs for. He actually did have 1 EE left, and sniped someone in territory before dying and giving me the winning LS. I certainly did NOT have the best deck in Booster, and it was only the grace of God that enabled me to end up on top.

Your draft must have not been too bad to have drafted a SoG and NJ in booster!

Thanks for pointing that out. That 2nd game went so quickly that in my memory I assumed it ended with the typical SoG/NJ, but of course no one had those cards. I also imagined the FA because I remembered taking more than 3 LSs, but of course without SoG/NJ that would make sense as well. Funny how our memories of things are so easily misled.

Nah, God loves you too buddy. He probably just figured that on that particular day I needed to win more for whatever reason. Maybe because He knew that you were going to sweep everything next weekend, and He didn't want you to hog all the RNRS points

Not if I have anything to say about it. T1 Multi is going to be Epic! And I have nothing against hogging RNRS points since I already have a second at NE regionals.
