Good job Bardu! Still a place. (At least in the world of figure skating)
Anyway, glad the pre-release went well. Hopefully I can stick my head into the game store this week, I haven't been in a while, I'm sure they're all wondering where I've been.

(burnt out no sleep for 3 days forgive me if I'm a bit slow)
New set...Fun...*Crashes on floor get up a bit* I should have won 3 packs but I forgot about it, I feel like a noob. Atron and Finkle where there it was amazeing. *Didn't actually see Finkel but someone said he was there. I saw his name on a sign up sheet but didn't see him at all. He was useing shadow and shroud to avade me. Atron sat next to Niv when he drafted then he sat by me and see good pick, so I was pretty happy. He had a short hair cut so I didn't recognize him right away, but the group he was with gave it away for some reason. I remember the girl he was with from the last prerelease I was at when he showed up. I have my elemental deck running, it needs a lot of tweaking anyone care to help me? Or is not not worth posting? (Are the tags up and running yet too?)
AI do you want me to change your face and hair (Saw you yesterday and now when I look at your avitar it bugs me XD) You looked really busy when I said hi, sorry if I came off as mean or something for just leaveing. We missed you after awhile. I was hopeing that my group and you would do a gaint draft together so nomater what we'd help each other out ^__^. but it's okay.
What is up guys? The prerelease was pretty much awesome. Really!
First off, I want to comment on Niv and Lenna's arrival and finding of me before I had a chance to even remember that they would be there. Congratulations, guys! I am just sad to again say that I wasn't able to play Niv due to my having to leave at 3:00pm. I swear though, every time I wasn't playing in the event, he was in a draft or something of that nature--we never had time to play! Let alone find eachother...
Point the second: My sealed pool was amazing. Too bad I didn't realize that until round two; after I had lost due to my incredibly crappy decklist.
I had originally tried to sneak in some red, as that is just what I do... and my deck was incredibly cluttered. After losing (in a rather close game 3, actually...) round one, I tricked out my deck to make it UB Merfolk control--with a Cryptic Command, TWO Merrow Commerce, TWO Drowner of Secrets, a Silvergill Douser, and several other various merfolklings. Oh, did I mention all of the removal and the two counterspells? Well there was that, too!
Round two was a cake-walk. Got the lock each game. 'Nuff said.
Round three was a lot closer, but I still pulled it out. He won game one, I won two, and by the time we started game three, there was only eight minutes left in the round! I played as fast as I could, throwing some of my caution to the winds, and... it worked. Just as the judge called out the end of the round and the five turn clock, I had set up board control, and it was a matter of two turns before I milled him. I swear I must've had an orgasm of relief as he drew into his lack of a last card.
Round four was poor. I was manascrewed game one, and just about that time Niv and Lenna showed up. I might've been kind of distracted thinking about playing Niv while talking to Lenna... but oh well, surely I couldn't lose game two, right? My deck was just too awesome!
Nope. Game two was insanely close, but he pulled it out. I had just set up the lock when he noticed I was tapped out and played the white command for cmc-3 and less, as well as taking out my enchantments. He won. But really deserved it, so I wasn't too pissed.
Edit:
Quote from Niv »
THG: Rav if you would like to be my partner i think we could go Team Izzet for the win.
DAMNIT!!!!
Edit: @Lenna: Someone said Finkel was there? In Misty Mountain? I don't believe it. I know that Adrian Sullivan was there, but I highly doubt Finkel was...

WTF????????????
I thought you live in Illinois or in that area with Niv...I went to the Taylor, MI PR.
At any rate, I don't mind if you do...If I like it more, I'll use that one instead of the one I've got. Thanks in advance!
I guess here're the decklists:
SEALED FLIGHT 1:
OK, I'll post them later...heh.
EDIT @ RAV:
DAMMMMMMMN!
I FORGOT THAT WE CAN CHANGE OUR SEALED DECKS BETWEEN ROUNDS!!!!
OH, CRAP!!!
well, even tho i didn't get to go to the prerelease, i still had a pretty eventful weekend. i got to experience the amazing world of halo 3 on friday night. great game, btw. and saturday was a surprise bday party for one of my friends. tarantino themed. my friend that went w/ me drove, which means drinky drinky for me! we couldn't stay long, so i ended up finishing off half a 12 pack in about 45 minutes. the ride home was a fun one! so i guess, despite my lack of magic playing this weekend, it was still a fun one.
i just wanted to check in. grats to everyone who got to attend and did well.
My weekend wasn't nearly that eventful.
I'm still working on healing from surgeries. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow for them to do some not-so-nice-things but eh. It'll be worth it all in the end....Right?
Anywho. We need an Izzet meet, somewhere.

yeah sorry I'm a bit off. I haven't slept in 4 days and I'm sick. Insomnia and sickness do not help each other. One hour I have the flue the next it's gone repeat this prosses until you get me. Thank god I wasn't sick at the prerealise. -__- so tired. Tiki don't hurt yourself it's not worth it, pain is an illusion and it's a bad thing it's four letters long just like work so it equals evil.
Sorry I ment Rav, sorry for leaveing you hanging and what not. Don't worry I saw AI, but he never saw me. Try to figure that one out ^___^. I'm specail that way.
Make the drive to C-Bus,OH and you'll get all the hugs you want.
Wheee.
Erratic posts FTW?
YOS!
And I whole-heartedly agree that we all need to get together for an Izzet Meeting of awesomeness. Let us aim for... June?
@AI: Kick my ass? Do you mean physically or in terms of Magic-Playery, because I sincerely doubt the likeliness of either... though I am rather bad at Magic...
@Lenna: Yeah, I noticed you, and I'm certainly sorry for not being able to stick around more to hang out with you and Niv. I have been wanting to kick his ass in Magic for so long now... But at your seeing of AI too... I still have my doubts.
(Jk on meeting Ai however, I did see him. He posted his picture so I'm not lying ^___^ Twist of words FTW. That and I dream about all of you guys wierd isn't it. I had a long conversation with Rav Waymc, and AI about the new set. It was very interesting. I actually learned some things. Weather I knew them subconciously, or weather I just haved f'ed up dreams I don't know ^___^ (Actually got an hour of sleep in class it was neat)
So, IIM (International Izzet Meeting) is being planned? Count me in!
How many countries are we spread over, anyway? I'd guess 2, but I can't be sure.
So, I basically had an awful day, without nothing to do but to sit in front of my computer feeling dead inside and staring at IMs. I didn't have school today (because of a weird project thing that I didn't know about until two days ago), and now I can't sleep. At least it isn't raining.
@ rocram:mine's in only 5 months! isn't that great?
btw, things got better today, thanks to DF's fabulous suggestion
So, counting me, rocram and... the rest of the guys, I guess that's 3 countries. We only need an african, an asian and an australian member to span all continents.
IZZET CLAN'S GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
EDIT:
@AI: Man, you've turned 18! Congratulations! Come down here to Brazil sometime, you're already of drinking age here!
I'm excited to see what the next clan contest will be at any rate!
Okay, I'm serious here...I'm probably not going to post any decklists unless someone is really curious and asks for them. Just FYI...
Anyway, glad the pre-release went well. Hopefully I can stick my head into the game store this week, I haven't been in a while, I'm sure they're all wondering where I've been.

I'll take a look at your Elemental deck, Lenna.

Easier would be to arrange in-state meetings. Just saying.
Or, maybe y'all could wait 2 years so I'm in college, and able to get away from madre?
btw, I can drive now. 0 pts off ftw!
Anyway. Hai.
