Anyway, I'm kinda scared to go to pre-releases since I honestly suck at the game, BD always inflated my ego but I missed the stupidest of plays where I coulda won the game.
And the time I wanted to go, he wouldn't let me as it was the day of prom and he wasn't willing to go the day after.
anywho

@niv: as of now, I can't go. sorry. but maybe some earth-shattering cataclysm will occur and realign reality...you never know...I'll try appeasing the gods with burnt sacrifice...
I will be going to the PR in Michigan. Boring, I know. I will try to play Faeries in Sealed.
I will draft U as well, hoping to play Faeries, but I will switch to Merrow if people are cutting off the flying men.
Oh, the thing with the girl...I'll shoot you an IM.
Other than that, not much new on this side other than lots of tests. College exams kinda blow.
well it seems my plans for the prerelease have fallen thru, so i'll have to be happy w/ the release event in my area. lame, i know. but what can i do? it's a three hour drive to the prerelease and my friends don't have the cash to split gas and pay entry fees. oh well. there'll be less competition at the release event anyway. you guys that get to attend to prerelease will definitely have to post and let us non-goers know how it went.
I'm just going to the pre-re 'cause Lorwyn's looking amazing. If it weren't Lorwyn I'd tell the store owner to screw himself.
Explanation: Everyone was assuming the pre're couldn't be at the store itself, because it's like a 10x8 meter place. Enough for FNM, but whathehell? There are people comnig from the whole friggin' STATE to play here, and the way it's going, we're going to end up playing in the parking lot.

Morning all ^___^ Aww...I was lokeing forward to seeing you Tiki. Oh well, I just pretend you are with me ^___^ Psycic link ^__^. So are you going Rav? Cause then I might not enter the THG. Niv wants to enter with you and I was going to enter with Tiki but meh I don't mind sitting out. (Packs backpack with ds) I'll servive without haveing Niv fork over the extra money for me. Don't worry Niv I'll have the 15 for the deck except for any taxation they put on it. Darn taxation.
(Funny story that happened yesterday read if or when you have time, so Niv is actually forced into reading it and his apprentices too XD)
I was thinking in English class. I know don't have a heart attack I was thinking. And I thought about the arby's girl. You know the red pigtails little girl. I bet you're all going woah lenna TMI. Well not like that pervs, I couldn't remember how to draw that hat that floated abover her head. The red one. Then I was drawing her and all of the sudden it hit me. We've all see the izzet the izzet dragon with that three pronged crown floating on top of his head...I'm thinking Izzet ^___^ I started laughing so hard that I had to put my head down. The thought was so random that I was laughing so hard tears came out of my eyes and my teacher was like. "Oh my god I didn't offend you! I'm soooo sorry!" (We got on the topic of religion and I'm religious she knew it to too) Anyway I ws seating in the back row so she runs down the middle isle and kneels next to be patting me on the back. This just made me laugh even harder. I was like god my teacher is so stupid, and the class stood up and turned to see if I was okay a few walking over by me. Then they heard me laughing, and after class I had to explain what was going on, and they didn't get it, which just made me giggle. THis happened yesterday. I know this is my rant for the upcoming month so I just did it earily. ^__^
I hope I made someone day with that story. Sorry AI about your day I hope you find comfert and joy in the story at least ^___^
You didn't quite make my day with that story, though it made the half-hour.
At least, considering I stole this half-hour and the the next twenty minutes from my math class. I'm just going to ask my friend what happened today. Stupid douchey differential equations.
Differential equations are the kind of ***** that can ruin a day. So, did things turn out bad with the girl? could you tell us how it was or do you prefer to keep it private?
I'm not going to be able to attend the prerelease, though I'd like to. Instead, I'm working. I might try to attend the release, however. Currently, I'm on the overnight shift at the front desk. Nice that I can still log in and visit the Izzet! I expect full reports of everyone's exploits at the prerelease.
I won the 16-man Sealed event later though with a truly representative Merfolk/Elemental deck!
I learned some lessons from my prior defeats (and victories), and I ran Boggart Caterwauler and lots of Islandwalky goodness. I also somehow got another Surgespanner, which I was happy to play. Oh...and the MVP this time around was Chandra Nalaar...WHAT LUCK!
I ended up pwning my roommate due to his bad draws, and only dropped one game to a solid BGWTreefolk/Changeling deck with TWO Changeling Hero, TWO Timber Protector, and a Vigor!!! I basically locked down the board with card advantage and weenies while my Islandwalk kicked in as my golden parachute! He was a nice guy and took the loss well, knowing that he didn't get the right draws at the right time...basically I got really lucky the two games I won and he got really lucky the game he won.
Anyway, if any of you are able to go the prerelease tomorrow, go!
My recommendations: Kithkin are great (= Isamaru), but you have to be dedicated to them. (Cenn's Heir, etc.)
The Fae are also really good, but in my experience, not as good as the Merrow, as there are better Merrow at lower rarities, and they are often bigger for their cost and are be unblockable with Islandwalk.
If you open Doran, Seige Tower, and can play him, do so. You won't regret it. (If he eats Eyeblight's Ending or Weed Strangle, do not come crying to me...you should be running Woodland Guidance!)
Also, if any of these links don't work after the Lorwyn cards get added to the list, please let me know...I'm kind of a perfectionist in that regard.
Happy Prereleasing and good luck!

Heh, sure, I just find information better if its formatted like:
@DF Or
@Alyssa
if it's in a wall of text, otherwise I'll overlook it.
And my lesson went fine.
I didn't fall at all actually.
I did really well considering the circumstances, not being on ice for a few months and new boots.

Yeah, the shirt is ridiculously hot! Imperious Perfect??? Sign me up!
I told myself that if I won the first flight I was in, I would buy that shirt ($10, so not too expensive, but not cheap at any rate). As I finished 4-1, I didn't end up getting it.
I'll probably put up decklists tomorrow...or whenever you guys ***** at me to do it.
I was going to play 2HG, but the second flight ended just as the place was closing down.

Ugh. If anyone watches That 70's Show and knows the "Love Sucks" song from the "Musical Episode," that's what my life feels like right now.
At least Lorwyn is one sexy momma that'll be good to me.

C'mon, Alyssa...THE DOORS OPEN FOR THE LORWYN PRERELEASE IN JUST OVER 13 HOURS!!!
Good luck! Please don't fall on your face, you'll need even more surgeries after that!
Just messing with you. Have fun but be careful.
Have fun DF(Can I call you Alyssa too?), just try not to get nervous.
Talk to you all later.
AI, OFFICIALLY SIGNING OFF FOR THE LORWYN PRERELEASE
I'll edit this post later (decklists, commentary on card choices), but I'll leave you for now with this:
I got 4th in my 32-man Sealed, playing GUB Elves/Fae/Merrow, with some nice Harbinger synergy with Faerie Trickery and Surgespanner. Jace Beleren was pretty awesome in the deck. I only got 4th because I failed to block a Boggart Caterwauler with my oh-so-hot Imperious Perfect and an Elf token...Which resulted in me getting Fodder Launch'd in the face. 9 packs, not bad. At least I learned that Merfolk with Islandwalk attacking players with Islands win games...pretty much on their own! Just in time...
I won the 16-man Sealed event later though with a truly representative Merfolk/Elemental deck!
I learned some lessons from my prior defeats (and victories), and I ran Boggart Caterwauler and lots of Islandwalky goodness. I also somehow got another Surgespanner, which I was happy to play. Oh...and the MVP this time around was Chandra Nalaar...WHAT LUCK!
