4. Ralph (AGLs) 5-2
5. Aaron (Ultimate SHIELD) 4-3
6. Pablo (Defenders) 4-3
7. Spud (Insanity Arkham) 4-3
8. Cliff (Spidey Aggro) 4-3

3. Robert (Family of Four(F4)) 5-2

Ah yes, that's right. Thanks. :D

Ref to Spud for running Insanity!

Thats just Insane!

Top 8 is great if there were 20 or more...not necessarily so good if there were only 9.

So, like, how many people actually played?

Spud, you are the man!

There were 22 participants in the BYOT.

I gotta ask if my list made any impact on yours?

hopefully next time more can make it so it could be alot more. but 22 is still a good number. it was all fun all around

also i agree! spud is the man for runnig insanity! also have to give my props to onxyweapon for showing the power of the ultimates deck! shafT!! ftw!!

one of my favorite moments fo the event was when i saw thor along with lady deathstrike burn for a little over 20 3 times on turn 7. i love ultimates!lol

Yes and no... there weren't a lot of cards that I took from your list (you were playing a lot of "direction shifts" from where I'm comfortable in Insanity-- self-replacement and such). But on the other hand, I was upset that the deck had no way to hit Beside Myself in mono, and didn't want to play the "gimped" version because of that. You convinced me that it's still a crazy-good deck (no pun intended) even when you don't hit BM.

Oh, but you did convince me to play 3-drop DOR Penguin. I was just going to run 6 3-drops because he's so bad, but he was in your list, so I gave him a shot. ;)

Nice job to the top 8...especially seeing that people look like they attempted to come up with original designs to classic themes.

So, I have to know, where did G'daybloke finish? I saw his decklist before the event, and I liked it, so I knew that meant he would have a rough time. (Ya see, I am not a good deckbuilder...)
