What time is it?!

Fucking Adventure Time bitches.

...or maybe 10:30.

Last Saturday we nerded it up. Heavily.

In attendance was yours truly, Xiao, Snape, Denis, Felix and J.D. We partied at Snape's because sometimes it is easier to bring the party to a dude, than whatever you imagine is the opposite of that.
Felix abstained from Magic. He's waiting until they go steady to make that commitment. Instead Felix, J.D. and Denis spent hours embroiled in an epic battle on the high seas right in the middle of Snape's living room. I mean it was literally in Snape's real apartment this time. Not in a basement with the same name. The sea battle was straight out of 1988. Really. That's when the game was made, according to Felix's fake instructions he had for the game. So there was no way to know for sure if they were playing correctly at any given time. Although they were thoroughly enjoying themselves, so that really makes it irrelevant if the rules were correct or not.
Felix spent a lot of the evening cursing Poseidon's luck, while J.D. hung on splinters from ships he once manned. Denis sailed around them with a mighty fleet doing his best Thomas William Bevil (the only prominent Canadian sailor I could locate).

Snape, Xiao and I play some FFA games of Magic on the other side of the table.
Xiao was the big winner of the evening dominating the rest of us with his his mono-color pauper decks. I was able to squeeze out a couple of victories myself, but Xiao's were more celebrated and well won.
Denis and I broke out some EDH/Commander action as well. Denis was primed up on his Mayael deck while I finally got to show Ob Nixilis some serious action.
The first game was a lot of fun as we both same our decks play quite well despite Denis not being able to put out his Commander due to my having pestilence in play. I eventually was able to grow Ob Nixilis to become quite obnoxious, and over taken him after clearing the board with pestilence.
The second game was a long one, with all sorts of creatures coming in and out of play. finally Denis was able to get rid of my Commander and Geth, who had snuck back out again and fly over me with a slough of dragons that had be ejaculated out from Mayael.
We called it even so Xiao could swap places and play Denis with his EDH deck, based around Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer.
Xiao had Denis on the ropes early, but eventually Xiao lost his momentum and had to resign himself to the onslaught of the Naya hoards Denis through at him.

Another good night of gaming. If you weren't there you probably wish you were, unless you are Don, who was at PAX, which was also probably awesome.

Who is volunteering to scribe for the next meeting?

I'm also still waiting for every member of the group to get back to me with their ranked deck submissions, and whether or not they want to donate small fees towards being able to fund tournaments.

I am open to all ideas and suggestions on that front.

If you want your deck ranked please send:

Your deck name, your deck colors and play style and what legality it is.

Denis is the only person to submit a deck so far, for his EDH deck.

I have submitted the following:

War Vat: mono black/control/standard
Peace Vat: mono white/control/standard
The Crafter: U\B Control/Standard
Time Psycho: mono blue/control/Standard
Vampirehouse: R\B aggro/standard
Parody of Parity: mono white/aggro/standard
Permission to Infect: U\B control/standard
Apology Accepted: U\B\W\G Mill/Legacy
The Black Ajah: mono black/EDH


What are yours?

Until next time we duel.

    :D.

    durr...

    It sounds a lot more official than it is. haha

    I am just "registering" the decks that people actually want to have records kept for. The people who don't register can still play any deck any time, their records will just dissipate into the ether.

  3. And yes. Adventure time is totally bad ass.

    I can't believe you like that, AND you don't want to play D&D with us.

    That's like loving a wafflecone without icecream in it.
