Draft from T1 tourney

So we had a six man going after we dropped from the Vintage main event (just a side draft nothing was in for prizes besides rares)

This is probably the most ridiculous draft deck I have drafted as for speed:

3 Intimidator Initiate
1 Rustrazor Butcher
1 Devoted Druid
2 Tattermunge Witch
1 Mudbrawler Cohort
1 Bloodmark mentor
2 Power of Fire
1 Smash to Smithereens
1 Hungry Spriggen
1 Gloomwidow
1 Flame Javelin
1 Farhaven Elf
1 Sootwalkers
1 Mudbrawler Raiders
2 Wildslayer Elves
2 Crabapple Cohort
1 Jaws of Stone
10 Mountain
7 Forest


I went 3-0 only dropping one game to a U/W deck with multiple Ballynock Cohorts. Other players of skill in this draft were Jamison and Rhyno, the other three were average players. I beat Rhyno in the finals after getting paired down while Rhyno battled Jamison in round 2. Jamison's Deck was pretty sick with such bombs as: Grim Poppet, Thistledown Liege, Swans of Bryn Argoll, and other rares like Order of Whiteclay and Mystic Gate. Other rares of value in the pool were a Mirrorweave and 2 Vexing Shushers. It was pretty Bombtastic. Oddly enough no one had black as their main color, the decks were R/G (me), R/g (Rhyno), U/W/b (Jamison), G/W (nub 1) G/W/b (nub 2) and U/W (nub 3)

Jesus Christ!

Bitterblossoms are up to $30 on SCG...They last time we saw a trend like this it was Tarmogoyf?

Anyone for bets on whether or not Bitterblossom hits a Grant like the Lhurgoyf before it?

Oh crap.

I totally clicked over to the blog this morning to see the new content.

Internal monologue: Hey, what's on the blog? Oh, the Friday asshole hasn't posted yet. Wait. I'm the Friday asshole. Curse, you Aquascum!

Let's take a look at the big events coming up in the Greater Midwest. Also, Memphis.

Regionals is on Saturday, June 7, down in Chicago (disclaimer:The presence of Chicago in Regionals Chicago is neither explicit nor implied). Actually, it's in St. Charles at the Dupage Eckspo (sry, that's Expo) Center. I may go as Wife of Captain Bondage Goth will be in Houston and Sister of Captain Bondage Goth lives in the vicinity and may be able to provide amusement for Child of Captain Bondage Goth. It's Standard, and the best deck plays like 5 different double digit money cards as 4-ofs. Can CBG buy a match win? Stay tuned!

GP:Indian City (wait, that's Indianapolis (note to self: parenthetical asides? not funny)) is coming up June 19-20 in the great state of Indianania. I have relatives in the area and may be going down. The format is Shadowmoor Sealed, my favorite format. Well, not Shadowmoor sealed. Just sealed in general. Should be a huge tournout as Indianapolis is quite a bit closer to those East Coasters than STL and that had like 460. OTOH, I may not be going down. It is summer. I am busy.

Then, we get Nationals on August 1-3. L2s get an invite. T4 at Regionals get an invite. Where is that? Oh right. Chicago. Here's hoping it's actually, you know, in Chicago. Not that Chicago is all that great, but it beats the ever-loving fuck out of St. Charles.

I just read that link. It's in Chicago. How refreshing.

I expect to be there, doing PTQs and Car Tourneys and whatever else I can get my hands on.

And then there is Worlds in Memphis, but that ain't til like December, so screw that noise. Peace out.
