By Rakso, Patriarch & Rules Ayatollah (Rakso) on Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 12:37 pm:

The story is that Daniel McDonald aka ElGato, the head moderator of the MTGNews forums, had been asking me for a game for several weeks now. If you read my recent Star City articles, I was always writing articles when he caught me.

Today, on November 10, 2001, at midnight (Philippine time), he finally caught me with no excuse (which is an achievement since we have a 12 hour time difference). And so, we had a long postponed friendly game…

Beyond Dominia takes the match 2-0.

Summary of game 1: Rakso plays Keeper and has a slow mana start against ElGato’s Null Rod WW, and he even has to Force a Null Rod because he can’t afford to lose the Mox just yet. This actually works to his advantage, though, when he bounces an Undiscovered Paradise EOT and leaves only a Tundra and a Mox Pearl on the board, then casts Balance. With no Land Tax on the other end of the table, and with Abyss out, control is sealed from there.

Summary of game 2: ElGato switches to NetherVoid, but seeing a Negator but no Port, Rakso thinks it’s the more aggressive Suicide build. Losing his hand but getting a lot of mana in play, ElGato’s first Negator is met by a timely Vampiric Tutor for The Abyss, which in turn eats a Demonic Tutor for Nether Void. ElGato had exactly 4 land when he played the Void, though, and was stalled by land destruction. He gets Rakso down to 2 life with his port eyeing the opposing City of Brass, but Rakso is in the better position with a Gorilla Shaman and Zuran Orb out. Rakso gets to 7 mana, and takes a Mind Twist, a Sol Ring, and a Fact or Fiction. ElGato concedes two turns later when, right before Rakso untaps, he is shown a Dismantling Blow accompanied by 7 mana on the table, Sol Ring, Mind Twist, FoF, and a Stroke of Genius.

All in friendly inter-website fun, but ElGato swears vengeance on the guy he now calls a lucky bastard. ;)

By Luc, Use The Force (Luc) on Sunday, November 11, 2001 - 10:08 pm:

Just saw something strange up there...

"00:34:14 - Rakso moves Impulse to Rakso's library."


!!!

By Luc, Use The Force (Luc) on Sunday, November 11, 2001 - 10:32 pm:

Nice game though!


By upror on Sunday, November 11, 2001 - 11:04 pm:

yup...i think that may have changed who won the game....he impulsed, then, next turn impulsed again...hmmm.


By hippie tourach on Sunday, November 11, 2001 - 11:42 pm:

haha. rakso beats DG by cheating and then brags about it, even posting the evidence of his cheating. that's just great.


By JP 'Polluted' Meyer, the Archivist (Jpmeyer) on Monday, November 12, 2001 - 12:08 am:

Oh, there's no big deal here. ElGato is cool and he's always looking for games.


By Luc, Use The Force (Luc) on Monday, November 12, 2001 - 12:18 am:

I never talked about cheating, I simply remark. I'm pretty sure it's an error... that was quite favorable for Rakso! :-)


By ElGato on Monday, November 12, 2001 - 12:33 am:

Meh. What can I say? I'm just now getting back into type1. And, I had another Void in hand at the game of game2. It wasn't as over as rakso would have it. Oh, and, by the way, anyone who wants to play me can. Just IM me via AIM by way of ElGato985. I'm on fairly frequently.


By ElGato on Monday, November 12, 2001 - 12:48 am:

HEY!!!!! I'm not head Moderater!!! I'm just a Global Moderater. I'm not DG or anything. I'm just a really high-up Moderater

?! Wtf? Oops.

Heh... it's hippie tourach again.

Is ElGato DG? Funny.

Anyway, we replayed the Void matchup, I went 2-0 in some hilarious games (cut from blue the entire game 1), and we continue the saga using powerless decks only.


By Magimaster on Monday, November 12, 2001 - 04:01 am:

hey guys..

how could I contact some of you to play games??

I've started lurking BDchat,

I saw JP there once..he came in..said "weiner" backwards and left really quick..

but other than that i haven't seen any other regulars whom I am able to contact to have games with.

thanks for reading


By Rakso, Patriarch & Rules Ayatollah (Rakso) on Monday, November 12, 2001 - 04:48 am:

#bdchat is pretty much it :)


By Begbie (Begbie) on Monday, November 12, 2001 - 07:28 am:

Good games, but from what I can tell, a suboptimal build of Null Rod WW.
