"Life is a maze. This is one of its dead ends.


Well I've posted like 4 times and haven't heard anything from my opponent. I'm probably not going to be able to play tomorrow and Monday isn't looking super likely either.

L0cke17 and I have played, and I won 2-1, in three very close games.

Game 1... well, we flung around counterspells and recalls and lotuses, he got a big board with Mentor and StP'd my Blightsteel, and then I had Yawgmoth's Will on the stack ensuring me Time Vault combo, and then he played Snapcaster off of a Cavern of Souls and I tried to Mana Drain it. Which is the one, single, exact, only play that loses me the game. In the future I will try to remember Cavern of Souls.

Game 2, I shamefully don't remember that much of what happened, the usual counterspell/recall opening blitzes, but Locke ran out of counterspells and I pulled out Vault/Key.

Game 3 was incredibly close. I mulled a 7 that contained Mox Jet, Island and spells that couldn't be cast off of that into... roughly the same but with Mental Missteps and Jace. I countered his Recall, then topdecked Black Lotus into Jace, which looked good, but Locke fought back with a flurry of card draw into a board of Snapcaster and Trinket Mage against my lack of action. He killed my Jace (and my Dack), and beat me down pretty hard for a while, but eventually I got back into it with Thoughtseize, Bolts and my second Jace. Even though I went down to 2 life, the card advantage from Jace turned things around. Something something better than all something. Whew!

Edit: You know, I just realized that Locke had EE for 2 out at the conclusion of game 3, and could have blown up Time Vault in response to my untapping it. Neither of us thought of it at the time. Though, he was still on 0 cards in hand vs my Jace, Forces in hand, and million other things I was playing off Yawg Will. But it's the principle of the thing.

Looks like you have some kind of schedule that prevents you from playing in the weekday evenings on America Time? This weekend should be fine, ours is a matchup that pretty much ends when you kill me or I lock you out irretrievably, as far as I can tell.

Thought so. Did we just have that many people drop or was it 5 rounds regardless of how many people joined. I'm terrible at tie-breaker math; do we have any idea what record gets into top 8? 3-0-2? 3-1-1? 2-0-3 :v:

I, personally, can't believe people are dropping with such a wonderful prize on the line.

Oh, also, btw, I took my server down. I can put it back up I guess but I don't think the pubby servers are actually any worse than mine was -- I think xmage just sucks no matter what you do.

The schedule is called "Australia", but yes. By the time I get home it's well into the small hours for anyone stateside. Thursday evening could also work (what with Friday being a public holiday), or sometime this weekend. I'd rather set a time in advance instead of messing up a whole long weekend trying to catch each other on IRC though.

Any time that could reasonably be construed as "evening" for you is fine by me - 6pm on the east coast works out to 9am here, any time after that is good if I know about it in advance. Just pick something that works for you.
