By JP 'Polluted' Meyer, the Archivist (Jpmeyer) on Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 03:03 pm: These games were gayer than my games with Alhazard.
Game 1 I get a turn 1 LoA and draw 2 cards a turn for like 15 turns...and don't draw a SINGLE counterspell.
-1 Wasteland, -1 Zuran Orb, -1 Mox Ruby, -1 The Abyss, -1 Moat, +3 Choke, +1 Seal of Cleansing, +1 Duress
Game 2 I have a gassy hand of land, land, Sapphire, Scroll, Duress, Force, Drain. I Scroll up Ancestral and pass the turn. He Ancestrals on his turn, which I Force. I then Duress away a FoF...but my heart sinks when he still has B2B, Morphling, Island, and Keg. I Ancestral and draw Choke, Choke, Lotus. Choke hits, but his B2B does as well 
. He Wastes one of my land and I draw 1 more for the rest of the game and lose.
All in all, I'm glad this tourney was over. Yes, I did well, but since it dragged on so long, I started hating my deck more and more. Cards like Moat, Vindicate, etc. really began to annoy me. Well, T1ToC5 can begin soon and I can play a good Keeper and not RBK
By Deranged Parrot (Parrot) on Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 03:08 pm: Yup, it was stupid.

On a side note, I heard that some people wanted my appr theme. I'll put it on my website if people bug me enough.

By White Knight (White_Knight) on Friday, December 07, 2001 - 05:59 am: Well JP, think like this... with FoF restricted keeper decks will demand much more experience to be played, and monoblue got a serious blow. So..., let's hope everything's better from now on.
