The setting is a darkened movie theatre. After a few seconds of inactivity, soft footsteps are heard, and four people, black figures silhouetted against the blank screen, begin to make their way to the center of a row of seats.
So Geordie went 1-2 at the latest GPT trial. What were the ten mistakes he made while creating his barrel-scraping Llawan Reality deck – and how can YOU avoid them?
Geordie’s back now that his new modem has arrived – and the Daily Shot continues! Today, he discusses the reasons for bringing his Alter Reality-based OBC deck to a Grand Prix Trial…
I’m not going to tell you about stuff like Dogged Hunter and Catalyst Stone, because everyone has heard about those and how they’re going to make an appearance at a PTQ or GPT near you. No, I’ve got five new, solid OBC Sleepers. Hang on to your hats and check out what you might have been missing. Time for G-Money’s wild ride.
So there’s two Type One events going on on the same day and on the same block. You’d think that would mean that the Type One scene in Sarnia is fairly healthy… But sadly, such is not the case.
The guys I draft with generally aren’t too terrible, but you all know that sometimes the ol’ brain goes on vacation when you’re busting and passing – and hell, maybe you could learn something. Like taking a first-pick Basking Rootwalla over a Laquatus’ Champion when you got passed a fifteenth-pick Patriarch’s Desire is, um, bad.
Sylvan Safekeeper is what makes the whole thing run smoothly; late in the game, excess land can be turned into Lavamancer food – and much faster than a Wild Mongrel can do it.
If you’ve seen my final record, you know I 1-2’d this table and then went up to my hotel room to weep like an infant. I’m sorry about not keeping you in suspense, but hey – we’re all adults here. You’re mature enough to know the truth.
A gaming everyman’s desire to kick some ass and sleep ’till noon is eternally youthful – if anything, it grows stronger with age. I believe that if I ever become more successful at Magic, you won’t be able to shake the rest of the kids stuff out of me.
Hey, he didn’t just start out writing fifteen columns a day for us – no, Geordie started out as a scrappy little scrub, writing for the Dojo in obscurity under the Knutson-envying monicker”The MTG Christ.” Want to see what’s in Tait’s closet?
For the love of all things holy, what self-respecting guy lets the girl name his team”Klever Kitties”? Either Benafel’s girlfriend has got EDT and Wolpert whipped, or there’s an inside joke there that I don’t get. Either way, it’s scary.
The problem was Deep Analysis. Ever Persecute a control deck guy and look over next turn, only to find out that he’s got five cards in his hand again? That happened to me a lot.
The madness begins to break as his blazing start meets two killer decks, who pound this prolific writer into a break-even record….
Well, I can’t put this off any longer: Eventually I knew I would have to buckle down and hammer out the match-by-match details of my Davis-esque performance on Day 1 of Canadian Nationals, and the time seems to have come.
You show up a day early with nothing but a few bucks and a dream and you walk up to the registration table and hand them your multi-colored money in exchange for the chance to play your heart out in a series of extremely expensive single-elimination tournaments. And then you win.
