Ha, thank you, Scott.

I've played in a few Finkel drafts since I've moved to the city, so my Shards game is actually decent.

I have high hopes for our film; my friend and I are basically devoting the next two years of our life to making it, and I think the end result will be really good. More than just about Magic, it's about obsession, dreams, friendships, rivalry, and desire. We have multiple threads that we're tracking, but you'll be happy to know that we already got extensive interviews (and plan on getting even more) with Richard Garfield, Mark Rosewater, Mike Long, David Williams, Jon Finkel, Ben Rubin, and Patrick Chapin. Chapin and Rubin are actually two of the players we're scheduled to track next year.

[Mewtu]

that sounds really cool. You should interview Nassif (my favorite player)

The shards draft is fun and I like the format, but I haven't drafted with the new set yet, gunna try to next friday.

[landho]

Interviewed Nassif in Kansas City and will be following him around during the course of the year. He's awesome. I roomed with him in Indianapolis.

At the meetup, we should play sealed deck. That way, everyone will be on somewhat equal footing and there are lots of permutations possible—we could swap decks, etc.

[Bigyen]

I sold a a five set of Moxes and a Black Lotus to fund my shoppings.

[Kodiak]

Whats the best way to sell MTG cards? I have like a whole box full of them that I haven't touched since middle school.

[B-Dawg]

Ebayed mine and made a cool 5 hundo. My friend got my binder of rare foils stolen. Bastard...

I agree.

Sealed will be most fair I think.

Also I sold off some of my cards at a Prerelease event, I made 1.6k off my extra power and then the next time another few hundred off Drains and duals.

Also had my binder jacked once. But then a few months later the kid tried to trade with me at a tournament and I was like.....that's my shit, with my name on it. And I got most of it back + he gave me shit to shut me up.

[sawn-off chef]

never did sealed deck before but i'd be down with that, landho are you near nyc area?

Yeah, moved to New York a couple of weeks ago. Living in Chelsea right now.

[sawn-off chef]

well as of now i think i'm gonna have all of sufu mtg nerds at my house and we'll do something with the basement i dunno, shuttling people and such.

I don't know when you're planning this, but a couple of my friends are opening a store and gaming space on 38th Street at some point in the semi-near future. One of them was one of the original founders of Neutral Ground. So maybe that would be a good location to meet up.

[xh0llyw00dxx]

that might be good too because it's easier to get to for everyone.

We were thinking the summer. Any idea when it's opening?

Is Neutral Ground still around? Haven't been in forever

[landho]

Neutral Ground closed down this past December, but it was under different management. From what I hear from my friends, the prices were exorbitant and the service unspectacular, so they generally took their business elsewhere.

I am not sure when the store is opening, but I imagine that it will be open sometime this summer. I may be able to bring a friend or two.

As of now, some of my friends draft three or four nights a week, several drafts each time. They call it "the fever," and some of them have it bad. Usually, though, it's just a friendly draft among friends.

[evisu 2000]

i played this shit for a minute

i played mainly stasis (f haters) and sligh. i also had a red/green aggro which was fun.

[sawn-off chef]

stasis is old school and fun as hell, a fine choice mass. and i think thats a good idea landho, i'd be down with that.

[xh0llyw00dxx]

Neutral Ground sucked so much. Everything was ridiculously priced, even for NY (I'm talking like $5 water bottles and stuff). And they were nazis with backpacks and shit, which is kinda good but it was way over the top. Also once I tried to sell them shit (like an Ancestral and a Time Walk or something) and they offered me like $150 for them.

[Mewtu]

Meetup sounds good wherever. New york would be sick because I'm going to have some shopping to do there this summer anyway, so those would coincide well. I'm down for sealed, maybe a draft or two as well? Imo draft is a more fun limited format. But I'm down for whatever. I'll probably be able to bring down a type 2 and maybe extended deck to screw around with, depending on what my friend will let me borrow.

I had a binder with 4 WoG, 4 Stomping Ground, and 4's of other popular cards at the time (GIant solifuge and I'm forgetting the rest) stolen at an FNM one night, sucked. The store was mad chill about it too, I'm friends with most of the employees and they made everyone either submit to a backpack check or leave and never come back, serious shit. but it didn't turn up. oh well, not the worst I've had stolen, sigh.

[shaitan]

I haven't played this since middle school. Had a mono black Life Drain(?) deck. It originally was a Corrupt/Type II deck but the Onslaught saga phased out when I finally finished my deck so I quit... I still have my cards buried somewhere in my closet.

Have you guys heard of Apprentice?

[Mewtu]

yep. no work on mac though

[sawn-off chef]

my friend and i played last night, 4 games of type one, i played my dredge, he played dragon for 2 and food chain for another two, i had turn one leyline against him every game hahaha it was bad. then against food chain i darkblasted all his goblins slowly and to top it off destroyed his one mountain with my angel, he had bad hands with his goblin deck but i still fucked him up hahah.

[ProfMonnitoff]

one more deck i have really fond memories of is mono black, 4 duress, 4 hymn, 4 specter, 4 sinkholes, strip + 4 wastelands, 8 edicts, 4 rituals, 4 phyrexian negators, necropotence, etc.

so fun to play

[xh0llyw00dxx]

sui black is fun at first. that was my first deck. I thought I was so cool with my beta sinkholes.

Scott I would refuse to play against Dragon. By far the most annoying deck to ever be created. Fuck exploiting loopholes and not using any real win conditions.

[sawn-off chef]

hahaha dragon is such a fucking stupid deck, and it's to the point where it is so easy for me to beat, that in this metagame it's good as dead. i definitely am not looking forward to a dredge mirror match up hahaha.

[ProfMonnitoff]

dragon was probably one of the least fun decks ever created

one deck i'd really like to play is an oldschool workshop.dec with juggernauts and su-chis. that, or tinker.dec. both seem like they were lots of fun back when they were relevant.

[sawn-off chef]

i miss back to basics control with morphling and ichorid, before gifts ungiven killed the game, or old school 7/10 split all three weeks it was around hahaha.

[landho]

The new retail space is shooting for an April 1 opening date.

[sawn-off chef]

is that a joke or actually, it is april fools day after all.

[landho]

I talked to some friends this morning; that's what they said the owners are shooting for. I would say that my friends are very reliable in this regard; whether it actually goes through on April 1 is another matter.

[sawn-off chef]

but either way we know it'll be open by the summer so you guys still up for this, nyc mtg meetup? i'll make a thread in superofficial at this rate.
