The Big MI Discussion Topic

[What's The Point]

Or they could all go to stewy's house.

Also Beegs lives in Royal Oaks, which is near Tech and then 30 minutes from West Bloomfield (Ori) and Livonia (stewy). Just pointing this out because we all ignored him.

 

[Eddie G]

Yeah guys, I recommend taking Beegs up on his offer. Great guy, good player looking to get caught up with the current metagame, show him some love MI.

 

[W.C.N]

Dude dibs on drdn's sunglasses though

Noooooooooo

I'm on my last pair now and they suck *** and hurt my head

I need those ones back

 

[Beegs]

Haha I just checked back not to see if anyone replied and found out quickly what the verdict was. It's not a big deal if I live to far away.

 

[Sailor Princess Twenty-Two.]

This is my last week of working Fridays, I still prefer stairway smash because of 9am shift, but I'm more flexible now.

Also, thanks Eddie. (bro fist)

I mean yeah, but WuvS parents are giving us free food for 2 days :L

 

[Apasher]

I will come to a Brawlfest just for the free food.

 

[Roller]

Ok. So. If Gio still wants to go to FNM and draft, I'll be doing that on Friday evening. However I wouldn't have to be there until 6, so I'm still free to play with AA people Friday afternoon.


EDIT: SORRY WTP. I texted you instead of somebody else by mistake. Then I forgot about your text limit thingy when I clarified. My bad. =/

 

[Beegs]

Haha I would go for the food offer. Not gonna lie.

Kevin has a limit on his text messages? I'm gonna sign him up for daily cat facts.

 

[W.C.N]

Beegs would be the closest sf to me since tech hosted, but I can't do weekdays

 

[JTsm]

I'm gonna sign him up for daily cat facts.

Sign me up too.

 

[Juggleguy]

:>: +1 fZk

Spams a friend's phone in order to make him go over his text message limit

starting next friday ill probably start going to teh drafts and pot-filling. its like 15 or something to enter right?

 

[Roller]

$15 for drafts, $5 for constructed events

But yeah, FNM is drafting so 15.

 

[Gifts]

If i didn't have plans i would honestly go draft with you guys.

 

[Roller]

We should legit have a smasher only draft one night.

Wait. NEXT LORDY TOURNEY!?!?! Everyone could just show up Friday night and we could draft/play/trade.


Yes. I did just invite everyone to Lordy's place to stay the night without even asking him.

 

[What's The Point]

I kind of want to go to that FNM.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

roller meet me sometime to teach me magic 1on1

 

[Roller]

Too busy teaching bitties magic 1on1.

 

[Damittom]

Too busy teaching bitties magic 1on1.

If they are anything like the girls I've seen play that Magic I would prefer to spend time with Hot Arms

 

[Roller]

Your definition of "Magic" does not sound broad enough.


(Though I agree, and the girls who tend to play M:tG certainly ARE broad enough for the both of you.)

 

[zyth]

so wat is happening in terms of a sf this friday?

 

[Hot_ArmS]

lol roller except I was talking to someone who knew you freshman year and she said you were hella weird always following her and her friends around

 

[Roller]

Not gonna lie, I wasn't much better at being a person than THuGz was, as a freshman.

So.

 

[What's The Point]

Roller what set is GYGO using for drafts? Is it Innistrad like the site says? If there is no smash I think I'll go to the draft, but I want to look up the valuable cards just in case.

 

[Roller]

lol that is def not updated. They'll be using Gatecrash.


That being said. Your time would probably be better spent analyzing literature on drafting mentality, than on set specifics. There's a lot of intricacies to the format that it is important to be cognoscente of. Reading the table, knowing when to switch colors (people are far too afraid to do this and **** themselves for it routinely), being aware of the curve in your drafted cardpool at any given point (during the drafting), and being aware of what signals you are sending to the people sitting around you (and the ramifications of sending those signals).


If you can fully grasp those concepts, the set specifics become small potatoes. You really just need to be aware of the common removal spells and instant speed tricks that could otherwise take you by surprise.

 

[Gifts]

Sanctioned drafts are using 3 packs of Gatecrash.

 

[What's The Point]

I think you are overestimating how much I care. I just want to play some card games.

Also I meant $ when I said valuable. I wouldn't want to pass a good card to the shmuck next to me.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

I think you are overestimating how much I care.

lmao

[Juggleguy]

Yo Brian, I dunno when this Stewyfest is, but remember that I need you at the SWEET X venue by 11am this Saturday lol.

 

[Ori_bro]

Robin what time do you want stream team there by?

 

[Roller]

haha, I'll be there. And we don't stay over for those anyway.

WTP may not care, but I care enough that I'd read stuff if people told me, or more preferrebly linked me, to the stuff I should be reading

 

[Juggleguy]

11am at the latest.

I've also spent way to much time on Smogon because there was a brief talk about Pokemon on the way back from stewy's.

 

[rsr2]

Hmmm that Draft does sound tempting.

 

[Sailor Princess Twenty-Two.]
