I'm tired at the moment just got back from the las vegas pcq.. plenty of fun and irritation going on.. a bit of drama.. all the perfect makings of a good story.. for now i'll give you a brief teaser.. it all involves a sealed deck that was good out of the gates.. a planned constructed entrance.. my friends luck/downfall.. someone sitting in the wrong seat and playing 1 and 1/2 games with the wrong person and taking up 35 minutes in the process.. a ruling that has been made before but apparently isn't to the liking of a certain gamer.. (btw the ruling controversy was in the same illegal game as stated above) Sentinels were in the top 4 (maybe won?) money lost.. sweating masses of gamer nastiness.. and the fans that saved the day!.. lightning, rain and thunder! wooohoo (and no i'm not referring to the dc characters lightning and thunder).. stay tuned for the whole story!!

Alright the moment you have all been waiting for (or not) has finally come.. oh boy do i have a headache.. This weekends pcq in las vegas was oh so much fun.. finding the place was hard because they just recently moved and have 2 locations listed with 411.. finally find the place and i decide to enter the limited just for fun.. I was going to play my burn-toys deck, but figured i'd do bad in limited and would drop and still play it.. what did i know.. i got untable molecules 2 nasty surprises, dual sidearms.. 2 blob 5 drop mags 5 drop quicksilver 3 drop quicksilver.. savageland.. all sorts of goodness.. i go 2-0 and i'm pumped! i decide to stay in limited and promptly lose my next 2 games to the people that place 1st and 3rd.. 5th round i get a bye and i'm kinda mad cause i wanted to play and my fate is now in others hands.. i don't make top 4 with 3-2 and i stand around while Wrathraven goes on to 4-0 in constructed.. beating a xmen-FF deck, a brotherhood deck (the guy had made some big mistakes), FF-syndicate, and a common enemy deck.. the deck to play was common enemy these las vegas kids loved the deck.. and even threw in spiderman because of the mirror matches.. round 5 wrath draws nothing but crap and gets pounded on by a steamrolling common enemy deck.. he loses and still makes top 4.. next match they match him up with the same kid in the top 4 and wrath loses in the same fashion.. pretty sad but hey he got 12 packs.. some drama happened in constructed when someone pointed out the the wrong Tim was playing in a current game of the 5th round.. the tim that was supposed to be playing was no where to be found and the tim that was playing was supposed to have a bye.. angry vs players.. they were told to keep playing but they had already scooped everything.. bad times. then when they started playing again the new tim.. he plays a quicksilver on turn 3 with only 2 resources.. they catch it next turn and grumbling happens when the non tim guy gets the ruling that tim can go back and place the resource.. all this while it was raining outside off and on and the thunder and lightning was amazing.. some of the thunder sounded like bombs dropping and the lighning was really close to the store.. all in all i had fun lost about 140 gambling and saw some cool drama.. an oh yea one of the top 4 decks was a sentinel deck never got to see if he won or not.. we'll see!

still waiting for PTE to update their site so we can get the full info of what happened after we left. Either way, the fact that BBH didn't make the top 4 is a nice change of pace. And Doom is back!

to all judges out there what would u do in this case: they are on game 2 there are 2 tims in the tourney the tables are all messed up numbering wise and 2 players play accidentally ( one of the tims is playing the true player who should have been playing left without notifying his dropping) the tim that is playing should have had a bye.. what i'm thinking is you give the guy who had a dropped opponent a win and the other tim gets a bye like he should have had.. right? the judge made them play it out.. any thoughts?
