1/2 after using my superhuman ability to not ever draw lands, mulling to 4 and never finding a 2nd land and dying to double Nature's Claim after I finally drew a Sol Ring game 3. Trying not to overextend into a Wrath game 2 cost me the game.

archentron or PJ Omega, do you want to play a match anyways? I'd like to test out my deck. Thursday night would work best for me but other nights might work

Please feel free to change your deck up until you play your first round. Once you've played your first round, your decklist is locked.

You on IRC? Thursday is actually the best day for me anyway, so that's a good time for me to finish my deck by

I'm in the UK so I'm not sure what times overlap well — perhaps the weekend if that works?

Friday I should be available at 3:00 PM EST and Saturday all day. I can't say anything about Sunday at the moment since the person I'm supposed to be meeting that day can't seem to settle on a time.

I'll start hanging around on IRC tonight. I'm only free after about 9pm Mountain Wed-Fri though, so that's a bit rough if you're on the East coast.

If you want to play earlier, then the weekend is our best bet.

Looks like Sigma got it wrong. It should be irc.synirc.net as the server and #mtgoon for room.

Also, Lancelot, as mentioned, I'm good for Friday and Saturday.

Wait, this is what the webclient directs to. Now I'm confused. Oh, mtgoon vs mtgoons

I think I saw you around 7pm-ish Wednesday, but by the time I checked back in around 9, you weren't there. Hung out yesterday too and didn't see you in there. Probably won't be able to play until late tonight, but I'll try to check in, anyway.

Edit: yeah, won't be able to play tonight, anyway.

I've been hit by a string of bad weather, so my power was out for a while and my internet connection was very poor after. I'm also away on family business tonight, but should be able to do Sunday evening if that works for you?

Chamale crushed me 2-0.

important notice - xMage does not handle cascade and split cards correctly. If you are trying to abuse this interaction like I am, you'll want to play on Cockatrice

We didn't discover this until I was funsies cascading while dead on board so it was irrelevant, but wanted to give people a heads up.

Also, always play more trygon predators.

My preferred deck does work fine, though I had a cascade deck with split cards in it that I decided against.

Procrastinator posted:

It counts the combined CMC of a split card, instead of checking if either half is low enough to cascade into. So it'll typically just skip the card and keep cascading.

It might also make sense for us to post the time zones that we live/work in, so we have an idea of what time someone will be active. Turns out that IBMS was available in the evenings, but he's like 7 hours ahead of me and that makes a difference.
