Grats, Fatal, I want your spiffy VS deck box! Alas I made top 8 again in the constructed and fell in the first round. So I have yet to make it over that hump and get my invite. Hopefully I can pull it off at Wizard World:Texas. See ya there bud :)

at the last pcq in brooklyn the winner was either 14 or 15 i'd say thats pretty young for vs system... there was about 50 people there and a lot of competition. don't get your hopes up slade i'll be there on the 9th lol..... good luck man

Well, I am a full-time student. So that "scholar" bit is pretty accurate. But about this "gentleman" business... ;)

You are so very welcome, sir. I am happy that we both were able to get everything that we wanted out of the PCQ.

Great article by the way! I think that everything that you said is great advice for any player who - like myself - has limited time and resources and would like to parlay that into a successful trip to the Pro Circuit. Hopefully, I'll get to see you in SoCal (still trying to decide if I'll be able to handle the trip so close to finals time!)

And, Stu, I think that we may just have that match regardless of whether we meet in the Pro Circuit. Kibler and Edwards look out: you can't hold a candle to the "Battle of the Barneses!"

Jason: Right back at ya. I'm still on the fence about what to run, I've narrowed it down to Brave n' Bold, CE, or a Heroes United deck. Just something about Thing BAMFing in for beats is too cool.
