Cool. I can do tomorrow at 6pm EST, though not much later. I meet you in IRC then.
I think we might have missed each other, but I'm still on IRC if you want to play. It also turns out I have all of tomorrow off as well, so I can be flexible for whatever works for you.

sounds good to me. I should figure out why my pidgin broke and fix it so I can hop on irc or something. Post here or send a pm when you're getting online.

Xeom gets it 2-1. Game 1 I take my last ever gamble on double wasteland and no taxes. Game 2 I stick a turn 1 Thorn and it all goes sideways from there. Game 3 I put up a good show with double Thorn and Tangle Wire, but he gets Duck Faygo up too fast and I can't find my Phyrexian Revoker soon enough to safely play out my Forgemaster and try to win. Definitely learned some stuff about sideboarding against Dork Frampton + spells decks.

I have defeated Jassi int he first feature match 2-1 entirely on the back of anemic 2/2 beats. Cockatrice is super slow though, I strongly will suggest using skype to speed along interactions in future games if you use cockatrice because just text was very tedious.

cockatrice, not a good program to get through a match in anything resembling a timely fashion. So g1, I hosed up because I did not realize until it was to late that I could have stormed off sooner by repealing my own lotus to generate the 1 additional storm count I needed. Fun times though, hope it wasn't incredibly boring watching me fumble through a deck i've never played on that dumb software.

I lost 2-1 to Viscardus. Turns out that first-turn Trinisphere and mana denial can win games without even playing blue. I had all my hopes on a Devout Witness in Game 3, and she got Dismembered before I could even use her once.

Thus equipped by fortune, physique, and character, he was naturally indomitable, and subordinate to no one in the world.

Yeah, turns out Trinisphere is restricted for a reason. I mulliganed to five in Game 2 and won entirely off of Trinisphere.

I topdecked the Dismember the turn you played that Devout Witness, by the way. :smug:

I had more fun commenting than I thought I would. I would be willing to do more of these.

I also PMed my opponent and ahven't heard from them. So Trilas, I am available most weekdays after 5pm PST and I am almost always in IRC.

Hell I'd do commentary one of these days if I catch this thread at the right time. I had more fun listening to you guys pull a Rifftrax on vintage match coverage than I thought was possible.

"Did he just forget to draw off Preordain?"
"Ah, the ol' 1 mana scry 2."


"I think jassi is playing to his out of 'hope locke goes to the bathroom, then resolve all my spells while he's gone'".

Are you sure I played it for free? You might want to check again. I don't think you have enough posts about it yet.

Sounds good. I'll be around on IRC for the next couple hours, and then I have to pick up my SO at 3:30pm EST (about 3 hours from now). After that, I should be able to play sometime this evening. I'm on IRC right now, and I'll be setting up so that I can stream. So, if you want to play, ping me on IRC or post here or whatever. I'm off tomorrow completely as well, if that turns out to be more convenient.

InstantRunoffVote beat me 2-0. It seemed like his deck was able to get going faster than me, and I couldn't come up with counters or answers. Also pretty sure I misplayed his Gifts package in game one.

Thanks for conceding once I was comboing off with Salvagers, by the way. Trying to do that on xmage is incredibly tedious and there's a decent chance I would have messed it up.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you wanted to play it out or not, if you had the wincon in hand or whatever. Once you started recurring the spellbomb I figured you weren't globetrotting :)

Yeah, I can just recur spellbomb until I find a tasigur, tasigur to draw the rest of my deck, and then just use tasigur to ancestral you 20 times. It actually was locked at that point if you didn't have any disruption (and I had a flusterstorm if you did).

Although if your win condition is letting your opponent draw everything, they can draw everything they might have to fight back. I've learned this lesson from my Lodestone Bauble recursion deck.

Also, the mana leak is there because cavern of souls makes it hard to have UU before turn 3 when you would want to be mana leaking or mana draining. Also, my friend who has been playing this deck owns 4 of every card, and most of them in german, russian, or korean.
