erm not worth it...
for the price honestly itsnot worth it comapred to prereleases...
prereleases give u much more for the same price...

*
Pre-releases don't give you a Foil Reya Dawnbringer for participating. Not to mention other freebies for some lucky people which you don't get at Pre-release events. Life-counter , Backpack , Deck Boxes ... etc etc..

Also prize structure varies from location to location. Our place might be running the release party event with a Pre-release prize structure. Haven't finalized yet because I just got back yesterday.

I will probably update the information in 1-2 days time.

Owwh though week... Now is the only time im free to post haha... got a lot of job interviews to attend...

Played release at Manawerx (hope i spelled it right) Won 3 out of 4... in one of my release packs i cracked wrath of god... but i dont have any sleeve to sleeve it on so i played GBR hahaha~~

G - accelerators + 2 craw wurm for the whackkers (the only bomb in my deck sad)
B - 2 terrors, 1 cruel addict, 1 essence drain, 1 assasinate, 1 afflict
R - 1 Prodigal Pyromancer, 2 Incinerates

Lucky i had those removals, but i made a lot of noob mistake due to long-time-no-play. Even though i get 9 points im the bottom from all the 9 pointers hahah maybe because of my player ranking tongue.gif

Even cracked out another wrath from 1 of the 3 booster prizes lucky~ 2 wrath in one day for rm60

guess what?? Im one of those who didnt know how to go to damansara and play draft earlier... waited for you from 1pm in front of your shop talking nonsense about X hahaha... owh well... better properly introduce myself next time... are you the owner of the shop btw??
*
I actually co-own the store with a friend. Next time introduce yourself man , it'll be nice to put some faces to follow forumers smile.gif . Btw , how was interview ?

QUOTE(nique80 @ Jul 21 2007, 12:27 PM)
hi.. just want to interrupt.. i'm still new in this game... last time i went to the release at damansara.. cracked open platinum angel, birds of paradise, citanul flute, joiners adept, and time stretch.. so i played green, blue and red splash.. only won 2 boosters after tat.. it's cool since its my first time playing at release party...

does anybody sellin single cards? or trading? how much is damnation nowdays?
*
Welcome to the game and to LYN magic community. If you're looking to trade / buy cards , my suggestion is to head on to your nearest store whenever they are running FNM tournaments. You'll get more casual players who will be buy/sell/trading cards instead of the more competitive ones.

We run FNM's on wednesday nights from 8pm to about 10.30pm , feel free to join us. Comic's Corner subang has their's on Fridays at 3pm onwards as well

Just one thing to add though , although most stores allow players to buy/sell/trade cards on their premises. Some stores which are selling singles "discourage" players from excessive selling/trading. Of course Manawerx isn't one of them smile.gif .

We can sanction the drafts for you guys , no problem. Karry helped me by posting some of our store information below. My signature also has a link to one of my previous post , I update information there every now and again.

Victor, I still haven't go to your shop.....I will go next week, I promise, just that dunno what day yet. You will be there right for the whole of next week?
I actually don't mind joining too, but I just hope the timing is convenient for me. What day and time do you plan to have the draft?
*
No problem Wee Kiat , anytime is fine as long as it's convinient for you. I'm normally at the shop daily , most of the time I come in during the evenings about 6.30 pm.

QUOTE(retep @ Jul 21 2007, 10:43 PM)
Count me in for the drafts too.

Peter hangs out with us at the store quite often also. I'm sure he can join in for the drafts as well.

Umm South is from which direction rclxub.gif ? Towards KL or away from KL ? It's either the Amcorp Mall flyover or the PJ Hilton Flyover. The PJ Hilton one has got long (as in time) traffic lights , I usually use the Amcorp one.

I actually got 3 players from the shop interested to draft. Here are the times they are coming :

1) Shaun 3pm onwards
2) Nazim 3pm onwards
3) Peter 5-6pm onwards

those are the players which are free to draft for tommorow.

I don't know what is the latest you guys are able to start the draft.

Alright, fast game lor....Hopefully can do 8 man...

No problem. There are a few guys who don't really have a draft group so they are planning to set one up too. Maybe you guys can get together and exchange contacts.

Anyway , I just saw Karry's post on a new thread for organizing drafts.

ya its blinkable...
i would love to run it with gravepact though XD
still i doubt there is actually a meta to running it lol
*
Are you sure it's blinkable ? Apparently it's not a triggered ability and it will check straight away if you played it for the evoke cost.

The text on the card says "if you do, it's sacrificed when it comes into play" . I think that means that the card will hit the graveyard first before anything else.

I think it's something like state-based effects. Like how Blood Moon effects lands coming into play. When you lay a non-basic land it's already a Mountain. That sorta thing.

Then again I may be wrong .

This is a response to XenoFr3ak

Sorry no pictures of the event because I was filming it instead. I filmed the last game between Craig Jones and Enduardo for the last place in the UK National team. Char U FTW ! biggrin.gif

I do however have a picture of my set of Edge of Autumn redesigned by the artist himself biggrin.gif

The guy is a new artist for M:TG isn't he ? He's only credited with 1 card on gatherer. What's he doing at M-Fest hmm.gif. Must have been quite boring signing same cards over and over rclxub.gif

Best 2 drop in game currently , it's not a fever it's essential to most competitive aggro decks.

QUOTE(pyrotheory @ Aug 7 2007, 01:02 AM)
hahahahahaa...now veri expensive lor...50 buck i think

Goyf is hotter than Damnation now. I think it's safe to say that it's more than RM50 market rate.

QUOTE(ataris @ Aug 7 2007, 02:01 AM)
still a lot people play this card game ?

Not as much as 4th Edition / Ice Age or Urza's Saga Block , but still quite alot of people playing the game.

QUOTE(camlok @ Aug 10 2007, 01:12 AM)
Problem is for a rogue deck to be succesful, you will have to play test it extensively against your suspected metagame in Nationals.

For the moment it means your rogue deck will have to be able to have better than 50% chance of winning Aggro decks with Goyf, Gargadon, Troll Ascetic, and/or green instant beat, which I think would be half the field, and also have decent chance against those pickles/blink touch/teferi/solar flare decks.

With so many viable decks around it is difficult to go rogue. If you know the format is dominatly 3-4 decks that maybe is possible to play test a rogue deck and tune it against majority of the decks, but if more than that it would be too much work.
*
You got it almost spot on. The reason why people normally net-deck is because they don't have the time to spend tweaking and fine-tuning decks of their own creation. Besides it's not only has to do with how you want the deck to perform by itself but also how does the deck peform against the rest of the field (or meta).

Most simple and efficient way is to net-deck and sideboard according to your local metagame. Say you expect lots of dredge at a compy , then you'll prepare your sideboard more towards Dredge , same goes for other decks.

But to be honest , with worldwide nationals coming up and all . The current metagme has got quite a few decks which are quite good at the moment. Most notable are the different variants of blink decks which utilize Momentary Blink and Venser. Rakdos and OmniChord also seem to be quite popular too. On the fringe of these decks will probably be decks like Mono-Green Aggro and Red-deck Wins.


By the way for anyone who is interested in drafting , I'm trying to organize an 8 man pod for this Saturday at around 3pm @ Manawerx. I'm trying to keep this pod open for the intermediate players , so the picking order will be 1-1-1-1 formula. If anyone is interested can probably post here or drop me a pm / sms.

I will probably be leaving around 6 I guess, but I will be going....

Sure no problem. They'll be guys here playtesting / trading etc. By the way I got 1 spare Tarmogoyf if you're interested.

Yoh!!! Hisashiburi~~~

Sigh... Sori Holi cant make it this Saturday... Really want to go
But I have a reunion with my ex-schoolmates in PD... Maybe next time... will be going if its a 1:1:1:1 draft anytime later

Bye-bee~~~

No problem kalspawn. Whenever you're free , always welcome smile.gif

QUOTE(cktee83 @ Aug 10 2007, 07:39 PM)
Great!

I think I should be there this Saturday anyways, so I'll look see look see and maybe join.

Still unsure about the rules though.  unsure.gif
*
Don't worry about the rules. The new 10th edition filler cards explains the phases of each turn very well. That alone should give you a very good idea of how to use the information to your advantage.

Besides , they should be a number of guys playtesting tommorow. So you can watch and re-learn.

QUOTE(XenoFr3ak @ Aug 10 2007, 09:23 PM)
Im not sure I will come or not ... but if i come is mostly is to practice for Nationals Qualifiers. I will not be joining the draft. If anyone from Cyberjaya goin to Manawerx ... can pick me up ??
*
The draft probably won't be on , most of the guys can't make it. You shouldn't have a problem looking for guys to test your deck out with. I got the cards you wanted already. See you later.
