Competence on the battlefield is a myth. The side which screws up next to last wins, it's as simple as that.

We should probably play the game some time, PM me with any times you're available.

When are we playing? I'm probably free Sunday from like 9-10 EST, Monday after 11/my modern match if that's when we end up battling, maybe Tuesday night, and after 3ish Wednesday. After that I get home from work a few minutes after 4 for the rest of the week. Thursday probably works best for me at that point.

Oop, just now saw that new pairings were up. Currently I'm available US Central afternoons, evenings and late night, no standing commitments until the 12th. Lawlinator can find me idling on IRC at any hour under the nick "Ranmilia". PM'd this to him as well.

I sent him a message the other day but I won't really knock him on that. I installed cockatrice and am available to play most parts of most days, although I need to get this done before next Thursday as I will be leaving the country for 5 weeks and will have better poo poo to do EZ EZ EZ.

Confirming this.

Game 1: Despite a Lotus + Dack start that drew a lot of cards, I failed to find colored lands and was waste/stripped right outta there. Library, my own Strip Mine, and Mana Crypt all showed up for maximum punishment!

Game 2: Went long, very back and forth with both of us bluffing counterspells but never drawing them. My first Tinker->Blightsteel was bounced by Steel Sabotage, but discarding it and then Snapcaster-Tinkering to get it again worked out.

Game 3: 7 cards, no blue mana and no free counters. 6 cards, 4 lands, Blightsteel, Misstep. 5 card hand had land, Lotus and a Force, seemed all right. Unfortunately I was beaten down quickly, and the cute play of Mana Drain on his uncounterable merfolk to get some mana and Tinker was one turn too late.

I think that wouldn't have worked out anyway, I had a spell pierce (that I was holding up the entire game) and if you mana drained the lord instead of TNN you'd have 1 less mana and not able to pay. Even if you had a counter for that I had enough toughness to block blightsteel for a turn with TNN and then swing lethal. Same number of turns either way.

Yeah, that is true. The actual best play was probably to save Black Lotus instead of popping out Notion Thief.

It's not too late to scoop to me.

Also I don't think I can play before Friday.

Kidding. Monday night is probably the best time for me. I'm not sure of my wife's schedule beyond that but I'd rather not have to babysit while I'm playing in the match of my career.

Edit: Scratch that. Tuesday night. I could also play late Sunday night/Monday morning.
