Draft and Play
1) Jason Waddell
2) GenericZero
3) James Stevenson
4)


Draft Only
1)



Last time we had several people who jumped into our draft but didn't have time to play the games. This is perfectly fine, it's far more useful to draft with 8 then play with 4 than to just run a straight-up 4-man or whatever. If you can draft with us for 20 minutes or so we'd love to have you.

 

[GenericZero]

I think I'll be down to clown. Sign me up.

 

[Jason Waddell]

uh...?

 

[James Stevenson]

Me too!

 

[GenericZero]

I think we need to reschedule.... Maybe promote a little better...

Uh, well, this always happens. We'll get last minute pile-ons. Last time we ran an 8-man draft and then 4 actually played. I'm not counting it out yet.

 

[GenericZero]

I was going to play in it for sure, but now I'm on the ropes. I hate being unable to participate regularly. Both times before when I wanted to play, shit came up. The first time my internet went down and last time I had to fill in for someone at work. I might be able to play tomorrow for at least the draft portion, but that all depends on whether or not my friend minds me sitting in front of his Mac for a while. I would be all set for tomorrow, too, but my girlfriend of the last 4 years just moved out and took the fucking laptop we both paid an equal share to get. That shit ain't hers! Where do women get off doing that kind of shit?

Ruining my online hobbies and shit....damn son....

Ah, sorry to hear that. No worries if you have to drop, hope you get that all sorted out.

 

[Jonas]

I might actually be able to actually join up, since a bunch of people I know are shitheels.

 

[GenericZero]

Yo, I get my shit sorted better than the library, son!

 

[Jason Waddell]

We are starting this in an hourish, fellas (and lurking lady-fellas). If you want to join, post your Skype info in this thread.

 

[James Stevenson]

We have lurking lady-fellas?

 

[Jonas]

worst deck ever

plus a bunch of islands and swamps and plains.

 

[Jason Waddell]

My games tonight were soooo much fun. I'm going to write a full CFB draft write-up. This is what I love about Magic. I was smiling the whole time. Epic games between me and James.

[Jonas]

Jason put in one in a bajillion chance of moxes.

I wanted to see if it felt dumb. Indeed, it feels dumb. Jonas, do you agree?

 

[Calvin Chan]

Aggro sans 1-drops?

Should've been aggro...didn't take enough small dorks since I floated for too long, so ended up in some midrange pile with burn.

 

[Jonas]

I wanted to see if it felt dumb. Indeed, it feels dumb. Jonas, do you agree?

It felt pretty dumb, I agree.

 

[Eric Chan]

Aggro sans 1-drops?

It looks like midrange sans 5-drops

removal.dec might be good in other cubes, but I assume it's not great here

 

[CML]

It felt pretty dumb, I agree.

on whom do we pin evasive action

 

[Jason Waddell]

on whom do we pin evasive action

You mean the card that is constantly countering stuff for X = 3 or greater? Pin it on me. I'm pretty tired of talking about it though, so...
