"I managed to not completely suck for once in an Invitational and ended up in the finals. The finals meant one match between first and second in all five of the formats we ran in the tourney, namely Rotisserie Draft (like Rochester, only that you draft from a whole set instead of from packs), Standard, 5-Color, Duplicate-Limited, and Auction-Decks (the decks of very varying power level were bid on by reducing your starting hand size and life points). Now the big issue here was the other finalist: Dan Clegg.

No, wait. That's not his full name. It's Dan "hooooolllllyyyyy ccraaaap hooooowwww caaannn sssssooommmeeeooonneee pppplllaaayyy aaaaaaaassss sssssssslooooooowwww aaaassss tttttthhhisssss gggguuuuyyyy" Clegg. Even that spelling doesn't give him enough credit, really.

So yeah, five matches, best of three each – how long can that possibly take? Well, the answer is seven and a half hours . I don't even remember what actually made it take that long. What I do remember is that it was 2-2 going into the last match. 5-Color. 250-card decks, everything allowed, including Contract from Below, and you play with ante.

I lost 1-2. And I got Voidmage Prodigy for my effort.

Now you might wonder how that happened. The card does seem like a harsh punishment just for losing a match, doesn't it?

But the real deal was the Scrye magazine and its amazing trading/pricing guide. The 5-Color format had a little twist. You didn't win by winning more games. You won by winning the more expensive cards in ante, and Randy Buehler was running around with said magazine and its price guide. It was 1-1, and I'd won something like a dual land from Dan while he had gotten something cheap and unimportant.

Going into the last game, Dan opened with a Land Grant and revealed a Shadow creature, double Dark Ritual and Hatred. And the card I had anted up was enough to him the match. My board was two lands and a Fellwar Stone.

I drew... Tinker.

Now I could probably Tinker up something impressive to stop the Hatred kill. Or I could be a d-bag and Tinker up a Jeweled Bird, which was worth fifty cents, exchange it for my anted card, lose the game, and win the Invitational. "

Vraiment excellent cet article.

j'ai bien rit aussi
Le GP South Africa m'a bien fait rigolé avec les 11 joueurs avec 3 byes qui étaient qualifiés d'office jour 2 sans jouer une fois

A l'époque y avait deux trois gars qui écrivaient vraiment bien comme Jeff Cunningham, Osyp & Tomi Walamies. Kai aussi mais il a fait genre 2 articles dans sa vie.

bizarre, moi cet article ne m'a arraché un sourire que sur le truc de Jeweled Bird.
j'aurais moi aussi aimé une photo du gusse aux jumelles.

pour etre certain de comprendre le coup des Ruel: y'avait que 16 participants à l'invitational, c'est ça?

Oui.
