Kuala Lampur Ahoy!

So type 2 states is finally behind us. This means that you serious Magic folks will be focusing on Limited again. Awesome. I have a suggestion. We have this here site. What if, in training for the PTQ in two weeks, we open up a sealed pool each, post the contents (yes, lots of writing, so what?) sans build, and then people can each post their own suggested deck in the comments. We could even then test out our optimal builds IRL (say CBG's dungeon, Friday night?). Learning is fun!

Is anyone other than me planning on attending the PTQ?

Yes! Me! And, I believe, CBG. Probably more.

Regrettably, I'll be babysitting my children again that weekend and will not be able to go.

wait so sealed friday is like a league?

We open now?

We can do it however you want to, buddy. The pros (as I see it) to opening prior is that we could dissect more easily via the blog. We could do like one sealed pool a day until Friday or something, depending on the # people. It would suck to wade through six or so sealed pools posted all at once. The pros of opening on Friday is that at the PTQ we aren't going to have a freakin week to ruminate on our card choices, and building the best deck possible in 20 minutes (or 30 minutes, or whatever they give you to build) might be more useful practice. I'll be honest, I think opening prior, like a league, and posting some possible builds to everyone's pool prior is going to be more useful at this stage, because I don't think anyone has built more than three Lorwyn sealed decks at this point. We have to get the basic now while we can still afford to be slow about it. Of course, it makes a difference for gameplay on Friday if you're posting your build for everyone to see prior...

also i was talking to tyler last weekend and he also said he was planning on going to the ptq (skipping scg p9 at cod).

Well, invite Tyler to my house on the strict condition that there be no yelling. Seriously. He can come. but he's getting kicked out if he's loud. Dude has volume issues.
