I dabbled way back in the old days (I think the latest expansion when I played was Antiquities or Arabian Nights, which ever one is more recent). I played the MtG Online beta, which was a total blast. A couple of weeks ago (after a horrid 2 weeks at Party Poker which eviscerated my bankroll) I decided to give online play a try.

I have a lot to learn still...I consistently get beat in the 3 leagues I play in online. Part is bad luck on the boosters, but most of it is my relative inability to construct a winning deck with limited cards, and then to play the deck properly in game. I get the feeling that I am a weak-tight Magic player, which is about as successful a player archetype as it is in the Poker world [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Well, my claim to fame is that I almost qualified for Nationals this past year. 5-1 at a grinder is no fun. At least I got a feature match out of it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Especially when your deck has Infest. And Bane of the Living. And you can't draw either while Brock Parker completely outplays you in every respect. lol [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But, I got my wisdom teeth out a month after nationals, and then discovered online poker, and then made a ridiculous amount of money....and magic doesn't quite as interesting anymore for this 18 year old.

Edit: Oops, I was thinking you were talking about regionals and played Brock who was playing Elves, but you are talking about a limited grinder...

I made top 16 of our regionals this year playing tog. I was upset that I hadn't qualified for anything since Venice, so I decided to fly down to San Diego and give it a shot. I ended up getting lucky and winning the first grinder.

What's your name? If you are from DC, I probably know you.

You happen to know Mike Zaun or Tom Coppage? I think they know a lot of the DC crowd. They are my random friends heading down to NO.

I'm Will Chamberlain, but you probably don't know me because I just moved here from the Bay Area. College at George Washington, etc.

Well, Brock's deck got the god elf draw both games. He got his wellwisher and I couldn't deal with it, and eventually he got big green guys that I couldn't deal with. It didn't help that infest and bane never showed up, only my silklash spider which was basically a big rear end against his deck. It's really too bad because my sealed was the best sealed deck i have ever seen. Beautiful sleek black-green with bane, silklash, infest, mythic proportions...and another bomb rare.
