Matt, I will make sure to promote your touranment with the guys at Schumer's. In addition to that, I wanted to let all of you Ohio players know that for the next eight weeks we will be doing theme nights at Tuesday Night Redemption at Schumer's Baseball Cards & Comics. The schedule is as follows along with whose idea it was:

1/5/2010    //  Type-2 play (Rod)
1/12/2010  //  No Special Ability Lost Souls Allowed (Rick)
1/19/2010  //  No Dominants Allowed (Matt)
1/26/2010  //  No Humans Allowed (Steve)
2/2/2010    //  Minimum of Four Offensive and Four Defensive Colors w/ Equal Number of Cards Per Brigade (Rob)
2/9/2010    //  Completely New Testament Decks (Caleb)
2/16/2010  //  Only Cards That At Face Value Are Characters, Enhancements, and Lost Souls (Travis)
2/23/2010  //  Minimum of One Separate Card From Every Brigade Offense and Defense (Jonathan)

PK you will have to explain some of the rules for these theme nights.  For instance:

on 2/16 - If I am reading this one correctly then there can be no Arts/Doms/sites/Covenants/curses/Fortresses correct?  TC Enhancements still work but its all just good guys/bad guys and their corresponding enehancements.  Correct?

on 2/23/ -  I am guessing that multicolored brigades dont count correct?

I am glad that you elaborate on your theme JP because I was a little fuzzy on what would be allowed too. I am really excited about tonight's theme since most everyone who has recently begun playing has never tried type-2 play. It should be lots of fun. The weird thing is that my type-2 deck is smaller than the type-1 decks I have been playing recently...

I will be up there next Tuesday (1/12)  I have some type 1 decks I want to take for a spin.

Hi Matt. Rebeccah and I plan to attend Friday night January 15 only as we have a CPR class Saturday. We will feed ourselves. Not sure if we will play Sealed/Booster. Take care, Allen

Good to hear from you Allen, We will leave the light on for you.  If only a few people play on Friday we may do BOTH categories so come for as long as you can.

Night #1 (Type-2)

We had six people turn out to play Type-2. Most of the guys who have just started playing except for Rob, did not take a swing at this style of play since the number of cards they have available is still too limited. Actually two of the newer players did stick around and played a game of LotRs. As for the six who played Redemption, I (Travis) took first, Rod took second, and Caleb took thrid. Caleb beat up on Steven's new Panic Demon deck 7-3 and I took unfair advantage of a deck that I had helped to construct just a few minutes prior, beating Rob 7-1. Rod and Jonathan (a beastly opening pairing) ended at a 6-6 tie when time expired. Round two was interesting pitting me versus Caleb in which I ran away with the game 7-0. In all fairness, Caleb would have put up a much greater fight, but he chose not to go in early which allowed my deck to get set up quite heavily. Rod played Rob which ended more defniately for Rod this time reaching 7 before his opponent. Steven and Jonathan were knee deep in one of Jonathan's combos intended to discard Steven's deck when Jonathan had to leave, forfeiting the game unfortunatly. I am pretty sure Jonathan would have run away with the game had it gone the full time. Overall a good night ending with some liking Type-2 even more and some vowing never to play it again. Everyone who had a Type-2 deck ready to play received at least one TeP pack with third getting two, second getting three, etc. We will see yall next week with no special ability lost souls in your decks.

Hey, not that I need the cards for winning but I thought that Steven had conceded our game (there was no doubt about the outcome) before I left giving me the win.  That would have put me ahead of Caleb and maybe Rod depending on his score. 

By the way, the reason I left early is I got a call from my wife that she was not feeling well and on the way to Urgent Care.  It turns out that she had gallstones and had to have her gallbladder removed (at the hospital - not urgent care).  Thankfully, the surgery went well and she is home healing.  I don't know that she'll be well enough by Tuesday for me to come. 

Matt, I also have some potential conflict for next Sat.  I still hope to come but I'm praying about it and waiting on God for direction there. 

om new and i want to check out a tournament here in columbus but i dont know were to go on here to find when there will be one cuz i want to see what its like so if some one would tell me how to find it on here or tell me when one is that would be great

Nothing yet but I might try and schedule something for February.  And if I can't get my act together to do it on schedule, I'll announce an ad hoc tourney in advance.

Here's one, by the way: Extravafesticon IV - Sat. 11/27

i dont know about anyone else here in OHIO but im still waiting for info on a tournament in columbus or somewhere close to it

Anyone else planning on hosting tournaments this spring?  especially Districts?  I'd kinda like to go to some that I dont have to HOST! lol

not me!!! that's the tail end of our Spring Break and if I don't go to NC then I will do my absolute best to make it to you guys.

He's not the only one to contend with in new york!
