@Mr. Wizard & Carpenteria: Not too late, fill in the survey to at least let us know if you want to jump in. Loading Ready Run PAL UP : Saturday 12:15-13:30 at Bangpop. A PAX Conspiracy : Sunday 10-12am in Tabletop. Mr. Wizard, if you want to run a BfZ draft, I might be up for it depending on tim...

Duckay and I love the HELL out of Fiasco.

And yet I keep cracking Ulamog and not, say, ANYTHING else. :/

Edit: (Not entirely true. I also cracked a single Kiora. Yay.)

(I've had bad BfZ experiences.)

edit- Oh, where is my forum etiquette... I haven't - I've been to GenCon, which is a board and card game focused convention here in the US, and what typically happens when I go there is I bumble around aimlessly, occasionally running into people I know who are doing things and then I do those thing...

That is the question, and I don't think there is much of an answer. I think Eldrazi aggro abusing Ghostfire Blade is a better budget option. Here is what I came up with. Smoldering Marsh and Exquisite Firecraft can be replaced with Bloodfell Caves and Touch of the Void for budget needs. That's pret...

... Fantome, that's wonderful and I really want to do it.

Also on the subject of tourism, are there any events (aside from the concert on Saturday which I am stoked for) that y'all think are not to be missed? I'm pretty bad at going to cons, and usually end up paralyzed with indecision if I don't have someone with a plan nearby to follow. Have you been to...

Hey everyones! Sorry, I meant to chime in on this topic much earlier... I thought I had, but clearly I'm just going senile or something. The good news is, as (probably) guessed, I'm listed under Antitonic's "+1+", so it looks like I'm already accounted for in the surveys and bookings and ...

Eldrazi of some sort has been my basic frame of reference; I've already drawn two Ulamog, so it's been the obvious go-to. If anyone has an idea for a decklist, I'd be all ears.

The Race That Stops the Nation is no small matter in the Australian psyche. Pretty much every office in the country will have a small party for it; seriously, a LOT of Australia stops for it. It's kind of weird, to be honest!

Out of curiosity, has anyone had any luck with a budget brew right now? Standard has somehow wound up being more expensive than Modern, which I don't think should actually be possible.

BTW: Barring anyone stating that they can't do the above events, I'll be making booking for Bangpop today in 90-100 minutes. Booking has been made for 13 people. Guest list is... JackSlack Duckay Antitonic +1 Yoshi_Gal EikoandMog +1 nicholasmc1 DaMullet +2 Korvys +1 So I'll make the boo...

Oh, NEAT, yeah. If you can, go to the Melbourne Cup for SURE.

All of the best wishes to Kathleen, Graham, and bub. May she/he bring much joy into your life and and as few heart attacks as can be managed.

But ok! Schedule:

Loading Ready Run PAL UP: Saturday 12:15-13:30 at Bangpop.

A PAX Conspiracy: Sunday 10-12am in Tabletop.

Any objections?

If you included, "or whatever Duckay's doing" you'd have mine.

I definitely remember answering Aye to the magic part - Did something get et? edit - Also I definitely prefer to draft, Commander is very not my format and my standard decks tend to be ~40% borrowed from friends the day before events. Ahh! You did. OK, let me recalculate... Right then. Our best bet...

As for the Magic crew, two questions. Right now, our Magic crew respondents are (EDIT BECAUSE I FAIL AT READING SURVEY RESULTS) Antitonic Duckay DaMullet EikoandMog JackSlack korvys And maybe Omega Lairon? That's six-seven people which is great! So question 1: Would 5pm on Friday suit 10am Sunday su...

OK. I'm crunching numbers. For lunch, the odds are REALLY clear. 12 noon - 2pm on Saturday is clear for everyone , which is kinda remarkable. A few people will be just coming out of panels. Korvys and myself will be dashing out to get to Nidhogg. But if we tried to do 12:15-1:15 for lunch, we could ...

Best wishes, Canada. Hope you dump Harper for good.

Woohoo! Please do fill in the survey, DaMullet; I'll be making reservations soon.

Never played magic before so I'll watch and pretend to know what's going on.

Ok! Make sure you fill in the survey. Still want to schedule for everyone.

For everyone's information, for the food event we currently have: Antitonic (+1?) Duckay EikoandMog (+1?) JackSlack nicholasmc1 Yoshi_Gal (+1?) (And probably Korvys... +1.) For the MTG event, we have: Antitonic (+1?) Duckay JackSlack Eikoandmog (and probably Korvys) Please feel free to pass this pag...

Holy crap. LRR will be a teenager next year. Get ready for the surly, moody phase.

Congratulations on twelve years, you guys.

Thanks! If I had the money I'd get a proper print done so the margins so it wouldn't have the white bars. But failing that, this looks like a computer game box now. I'm very happy about that.
