I couldnt go so how was the turnout? And who what type of deck won? But I'll be at Origins to play and some of the NorthEast Circuits in CT and NJ.

See sig. I left before the final match. The two decks that were left were R/U/G/B control and a U/B/R with Fire being Bolmeteus, Pyrofighter, Bazazageal, and Searing Wave. I played U/B/R without Dragons. 4th place had a weird hybrid thingy. All I can remember is when I dueled him he kept using Mana Nexus to put Burst Shot and Holy Awes into his shields. His brother made it to the finals (R/U/G/B). His brother beat him in the finals. There was a turnout of about 20 people. R/U/G/B peson was the only person to go undefeated in Swiss. He beat the guy he played in the finals 2-0. I think he won.

Congrats on your 3rd place victory. I cant beleive only 20 people showed at such a large convention. That really sux. i hope more peeps show at the Invitation Circuits.

Were there two age groups -- or did everyone pile into a single group (which has to be done if one of the age groups doesn't attract 8 players).

Thanx. I expected more people to show, to. I probably won't get to Origins, but I should be able to get to like all of the small ones on the east coast. Maybe I'll see you there.

What I would like to know is...

Where are the promos!? I still have not seen a scan of Aqua Hulcus or Terror Pit. Did they have the same art just foil-ized or was it new art? And did you manage to rack up several Pits or were people not budging tradwise?

Congratulations on the third place finish though. I am interested by the U/B/R deck because it sounds similar to what I am currently using. Any way you could type up a rough decklist for me? Thanks a lot Elephant Smash. You seem to be the only person from the Philly event who is active on the Realms...

That'll be so funny if the 4 civ deck won. That will give incentive for folks to drift away from thinking that playing more than 3 civs effectively is impossible. My comp @ my local store learned the hard way not to underestimate the gals who play 4 civ decks, lol. Anways, took me a bit to get back to more than just Blue-Green splash, so I understand it when folks are reluctant to try new things or to try to see their merits to a point.

Ah, gotta make a F/D/W cookie deck, then spice it up with some sugar-sweet frosting, and then tweak my 4 civ. Yum, yum. Origins, baby!

actually, the 4 civ deck was a close copy to mine, the brothers both go to my store, 1 wanted my deck list and never showe'd for it, he was the 1 who came in first and did not run the 4cc. The other had a deck similar to mine, didn't see what he took out but i did see that he added holy awe. The brother running the 4cc lost to the other brother on purpose(from what i hear) cause he lost to the deck that he would have faced in the finals earlier in the tourny. The brother that won beat the dragon deck=1 brother came in 3rd, other came in first, guy in third used a deck similar to mine.

Do you know what the bro who came in 1st played?

So a Dragon deck had a strong showing?

Still, it's nice to know that a 4cc deck did well.

I don't find it surprising that someone from your store would have a deck similar to yours or anyone else seeing as how an old version was on the net. Hum, I still don't know what you run exactly (won't ask b/c I like surprises and respect players keeping their builds to themselves), but I like Doboulgyser and I respect ya for having used it.

On another note, I'm glad that someone was using Burst Shot and did well. I love that card (it works in my meta), but I run both it and Wave because I kinda love being redundant when it comes to kill.

"sergio played a melfolk type of deck more less with red and at the last minute he took out nthe yellow that i had in my deck i had addd yellow blockers and such but he said he prefers the blue blockers..."

manny pm'd me on here a few times so i still have it...i'm assuming from this that he either ran a 4cc aswell, or a rub. It seems that the dragon deck was also sum1 from dz:D , "the guy that i played, with the dragon of hell man he was pretty good he said he plays you online at #############". now i'm just curious who it was...
:p

yodaz, were you at Philly this past weekend too?

JohnnyBlaze- You should come to Disposable Heroes in Rhode Island (Where Gino Rotondo, your bud, plays pokemon and sometimes dm)

Drizer - I wish I could man but it is too far away. The closest I've been near there to play DM is at TJ Collectibles in Milford, Mass.

Is Disposable Heroes going to have an Invitational Circuit? That may persuade me to drive all the way up there.

Yea, that's what I meant. It's on 6/26 :)

Why do so many people run cookies now?Thats kinda like yu-gi-oh! you know.
