SCG - Fort Worh
So yesterday, we drove up to Ft. Worth for the SCG Ft. Worth Open. Most of the Legacy crowd was not playing Standard, but we did get to play in the Legacy Challenge (a 4 round tourney where payout is based on # of wins). For the Legacy Challenge, I played my old girl Eva Green and finished 3-1 after a loss in the first round. Got 4 packs for my ( Read more... ) -
In the airport - to Baltimore
A day trip out to Baltimore today, which means early flight out and late flight back, but at least I don't have to stay overnight.
It'll be possibly rushed today, but one of the guys at the lab can take over remotely for me if I need to get going before the install is complete.
Also my trip scheduled for next week got bumped a week. Mildly annoying ( Read more... ) -
In the emails...
Went to the Worldwake release event at Montag's on Sunday - went 2-2, ouch. Had no real bombs in the sealed pool and had to aggro out and hope I got there. It worked for the first 2 rounds, then I ran out of luck.
0-4'd a Team draft last night - never done that poorly before, ouch again! This does not bode well for San Diego, heh.
On some local ( Read more... ) -
MTG Update!
Been getting behind on my journal entries - work has been keeping me pretty busy this week.
Starting to get some practice for ZZW (the draft format I'll be playing in San Diego), so we did some team drafting this week off of Worldwake packs a bunch of us won off of the prerelease.
Went 3-1, should've gone 4-0, but I made some pretty big misplays that ( Read more... ) -
MTGFanatic in Houston?
So on Thursday, I was over on the other side of town for work and decided to stick around and do a Team draft over at Midnight Comics, where many of the more competitive Houston players (and TMZers) play.
Ended up going 1-1 in the first team draft before my team lost, but went 3-0 in the second team draft where our team destroyed the other. ( Read more... ) -
It's been awhile!
So it's been awhile since I've last posted. I really haven't been up to much, just been playing MTG and Heroclix, preparing for the World Heroclix event, which I plan to be playing at my first visit to GenCon this year. Some friends of mine are going along too and some of them play Heroclix as well, so we've been playtesting teams in hopes of ( Read more... ) -
Draft
So last night a coworker of my friend Brian had a draft over at his house. At this draft, apparently many of the better players in Houston show up, so Brian and I took this as an opportunity to learn and practice our drafting skills. Becky came as well as it would be a good opportunity for her to learn as well.
We actually ended up doing 2 drafts ( Read more... ) -
Interesting...
So I was reading a friend of mine's blog and I found an interesting tidbit on his thoughts about a D&D campaign we are currently playing in. In it, we are essentially playing investigators in a large magical-technology city who pretty much have an office and clients come to us with jobs to do. My character is a paladin - for those who have never ( Read more... ) -
Harry Potter
So the other day, Becky and I sat down and watched the first 4 Harry Potter movies. I had only seen the first two and Becky had only seen the first one. We figured it would be good since when the 5th movie comes out, we can see it in the theaters and experience it on the big screen. It actually turned out that the movies were pretty good, the ( Read more... )
