PhyrexianLibrarian, let me know through PM, this thread, or IRC what your schedule is like. Mine should be less busy after Monday EST. If I'm not on IRC, you can just tell the bot what your schedule is.

Talk to me wildfire.

I'm super busy this week, and to compound it I'm in Australia. Are you able to play on the morning any day this week? 6-8am EST? That would be 8-10pm my time, I can't really play much later than that. Otherwise the weekend is good for me.

Since we're in the third round I would like to know, are you all enjoying the tournament so far? Are you using banned cards, or have you played against them? What have your matches with banned cards been like, in your opinion? Have they been fun?

I am the boring guy that is acting as control by running a deck without the banned cards. In retrospect, I probably could've used DTT, and I've only seen other decks that seem to want it as well. So I haven't really felt the effects of the "unban" besides everyone wanting to dig.

Playing my deck IRL and online recently and on here is like night and day. I've actually changed my mind about unbanning Dig. Thirst does an ok Dig impression but it's not the same at all. I actually do think if they ban Exarch/Twin Dig could come off the list. Not that they'd ever ban anything from Twin or make a non-Twin blue deck good.

Ran a regular Abzan deck with no banned cards, and I can't say I've felt the effects. Dig seems good enough to make decks, but it never felt like it was overpowering.

I'm running 4x Bloodbraid Elf, and while it's definitely very good, I haven't hit it enough in real games to know whether it's bannably broken yet.

Dig Through Time, however, is bonkers and may need to stay where it is :(

That's about half an hour from now, if I haven't screwed up my time zones.

Will you be on IRC or should I just make a game on the xmage.de server?

2/1 here thanks to the timer. Very weird game 1, I had a turn 4 kill game 2, and game 3 started with like 3 minutes on his clock.

Do we even have set rules for the timer? I can't remember what I have it set as, but I think my default is a little extra from when everyone was getting used to XMage for the Legacy tournament.

I'm pretty sure it was set to 50 which I think is as high as it goes. It might have been 40. Either way, it was looking kinda grim for him with a Clique beating down and him stuck at 2 lands.

Okay, well, I'm working the opening shift for the entire weekend and I'm probably going to be busy anyway. I'm not going to hang around on IRC waiting for my opponent to show up. InstantRunoffVote, if you happen to read this we can still make it work, but you're going to have to contact me and set a time up.

But you probably dropped anyways.
