Those are lame duck categories right now. Maybe we will offer sealed when the new starter decks come out. 

I think all categories at least have to be offered at District and above, so it's simply a matter of fitting it into the schedule somewhere.

Ah, hadn't looked at the Application in awhile...

You can always play Malta with me

I will pay for the type 1 multi if you can get Rob to let you add it to the tournament.

anyway, this offer is still on the table..just sayin

I will be at the Friday evening events.  I may be able to make it to the morning events if the categories are able to end by 1:00 or so.  That afternoon I will be at GABP.

If you are going to do t1-multi, please do it during those times, preferably Friday night.  I doubt anyone will want to play t2-multi which would leave me nothing to play on friday night.  If anything the t2 multi would be one round or so so maybe you could fit both in back to back on friday night.

Anyway, do what you can but I dont expect you to bend over backwards to accommodate just me.  I am just hoping....

So, unless Matt changes his mind again, it looks like I'll need another teammate for State.  Anyone else need a teammate and interested?  I'll work with anyone and play any style so let me know, hopefully soon.

YAY!

BOOO!

To give a first night update as we have just finished playing...so tired.

Lots of fun was had but I will leave the coloring in the picture for those in attendance if they will.

What happened crustpope?

lol I got beat!

In multi I won my first game, My second game I was the target of a water jar that got my guardian and my fishing boat.  The guardian hurt me because all my LS's were unprotected.  I was eaten alive.  I ended with 2 LS's but tied for second while travis won that game.

In the third game I won but travis got second and his two wins and an untied second gave him 7 points to my 6.5.

There was a really nice play the took Travis effectively out of the game where someone played Great image against me while I decided not to negate it.  all 11 of his disciples died but he use HT to save one of them.  Then another player DoN'ed his Chariot sooo...yeah...

I tried to get it where he would have to split the points but he and I were too far ahead of the other players to make it work so I won....and got 2nd.


I didnt play t1 2 player because I was with my wifes family.

The booster draft I just played for fun.  I really stink at booster but I rescued 4, 4, and 5 and took 2nd.


The new By the book style is really fun and is a different way of looking at redemption.  I highly recommended it to everyone.

No one played type II so I had no opponents for any of hte type 2 categories and therefore we did not play those categories.  I couldn't even beat up on my own decks I give to people because I have already done that too many times.  Often when I give people a deck, they don't play it correctly and they get beat like a red-headed stepchild while I can take the same deck and shred my top deck to bits with them playing it...Oh well...

It's cool man...I pulled a you and won all but one category. It was a great time and got to spend some quality time with good friends!
