Oh my mistake. Reading failure.

Also Mike casual MtG deck I may want to proxy.

4x Glimpse of Nature
4x Mystical Tutor
24x assorted 0 CMC dudes (Phyrexian Walkers, etc)

There are only 24 dudes with CMC 0, I already checked. So I can't pick like 36 dudes, 4 win-con (we draw the whole deck), and 12 UG lands as much as I'd like to.

I'll probably add Elvish Spirit Guide to add mana. 2x Glimpse at some point and each dude pulls 2 cards so whatever win-con I'm looking for I probably get.

Not sure what else to put in it. I figure I'll probably need a bunch of countermagic stuff to keep Force of Will and Pact of Negation away. Since the deck's blue I could probably just run those but w/e. I've also thought about Gaea's Cradle, because of a whole bunch of dudes for free and drawing is pretty cool.

This brings me to my next problem. Win-con. This thing can get its engine going T1 (assuming no countermagic) but where it goes I have no idea. I need something to make use of the dudes I'm putting into play.

I thought Carrion Feeder at first to sac 19 guys and swing 20/20 for game on T1 but I can't think of a decent way to get haste on him. I thought Anger, but getting him into the Graveyard is far too troublesome.

Maybe figure out how to pull 15 mana off a Gaea's Cradle and try to play that stupid Eldrazi guy from the new set that's a 15/15 and gives you a free turn as a 1x and then do Wordly Tutors or something, since Worldly Tutors aren't completely useless since they also fetch ESGs and combo stuff. http://magiccards.info/roe/en/4.html Of course, the next problem is that as cool as 15/15 + Time Walk attached is, it doesn't kill them immediately -___-

Win condition? Blasting Station. It costs a Lotus.
If you wanna do something gayer then that I recommend something with Storm like Brain Freeze, Grapeshot or Tendrils.

Also if you're gonna be proxying put in the obvious gay cards you can use to generate mana. Don't forget, since you're doing type 1 your search lands, moxes and Lotus allow you to splash cards out of U/G and by "cards" I mean Yagmoth's Will, it would be a lot better then Emrakul. Type 1 means you can splash all 6 colours lol. Splash other black tutors and Academy on that note, Ornithopter says hi for free mana. You can ALWAYS run Academy. Especially with Crop Rotation.

I'm not sure if this would be type 1 or type 1.5, but those do make sense.

Brain Freeze is pretty good win-con.

I was toying with the idea of Street Wraith so I can use the 1 CMC tutor --> Wraith immediately and get the card without hassle and they mostly just eliminate space. 56 card deck go go go. I think I might try this for fun in 1.5 first.

ok so gather around everyone and quote me on this:

This tournament WILL be happening this summer this much I promise. *redon's the tournament director title*

But everything is still in planning so I can have an answer for "when this summer?" within the next week or 2

depending on how things go I might need to charge a venue fee (just as a warning for you guys)

Yes, Wraith is always pro

Edit: Kage, there are so many more gayer things you can get out with Entomb. Doppleganger Phage, Arcanis, Memnarch, Goblin Welder (this happened once rofl), this new card named Artisan of Kozilek, etc.

Artisan of Kozilek doesn't work with reanimate because the card only does its stuff when you cast it.

Pretty gay, but that's how they made it.

If you actually do cast Emrakul you win so idk why not he's funny if he resolves.

edit: Actually he's funny even if he doesn't resolve. If he fails to resolve (ie. he's countered while you're casting him) you still get the Time Walk.

It's very unlikely for any Canadians to go to FL actually.. but I probably am.. I'm basically the only one that can represent from far away. =P

Ryan, sorry about today, couldn't get in contact with you + I ended up being busy.

Yo Kyle, what bus do I take from Vic Park station to get to your place?

Whatever it sounds like it'll be good.

Just please do not do it the weekends of May 8, 15, or 22. The 8th I think I might have family stuff, same with 15. The 22nd is a sacred day and I may need to construct secret plans with leprechauns for it.

that's fine I said some time this summer so I was thinking somewhere between late-June to mid-August. preferably some time between other big tournaments so I can get as many people to come as possible. any suggestions?

and just so it's clear I'm planning on making this a Melee/Brawl Tournament. So I'm gonna be consulting both communities on when a good day would be
