Two days ago I got a call about attending a funeral on Friday. Friday I usually play Magic at BSG, but I want to be at the viewing (somethings are more important than Magic and that's comming from an OCD on Magic candidate). So Mr. Nice Guy Games, a place I used to haunt back in my DCI rating-days, is currently having Extended tournaments on Wednesday Nights for the local pro's to practice and they're always in need of a supply of "Randoms" like me (I define "Random" as someone who has the potential to be good but is inconsistent at their game play). Anyway, I negotiate with my significant other to go last night (Wed. 11/9/05) and play. But I have NO deck to compete with.
So I get on-line and find this horrible looking UGb thing that looks like UG Madness but had Gifts and Psychatog in it (Yuck!). However, I have all the cards needed for it and I slap it together with the suggested sideboard and off I go without even "Goldfishing" it. I get to the shop, pay the fee ($5), get paired, and shuffle.
My first match is against a local pro-tour guy playing, of all things, Affinity. I thought that that deck was smashed, but that's in Standard and that was BEFORE it rotated out. [Note: I am waaaaaay out of touch with the tournament world].
It took me about two games before I figured out how to abuse the Dredge ability in Life from the Loam and Darkblast which fuels Psychatog and puts Wonder in my graveyard. This isn't a tournament report but more like a, "Hey guys, I went to visit Tourneyland and boy, was I ever in for a surprise!"
I went 2 - 2 and came in 8th out of 14. I beat two other "Randoms", lost to the local PT guy and a rising star PT guy (as descibed by himself-I don't miss THAT part about tournament life ). I got randomly picked to recieve the Foil DCI card Skyknight Legionnaire (it goes directly into my RW Boros Weenie Deck )
Anyway, here's the list and I forgot who played it at PT LA, sorry .
