I'd like to credit these people in my next column, so if you can get the info to me (along with the real names)...
I know CF placed 7th in the Norway Nationals (though not with which deck).

I didn't win, or go. Hope this helps.
After I announced Ancestral Recall, my opponent called for a judge and I was disqualified without prize.
As such, I did not do well in Regionals.
I was 6-0 playing Psychatog at New England Regionals. I need to win ONE match out of 2 of the last 3 to qualify for nationals. I didn't win a game in my last 3 matches. One game was lost due to a REALLY bad judgement call, the other was due to lack of knowlege of the metagame(I had my psychatogs lobotomied turn 4 when i thought my opponent could do nothing threatening. I didn't even get any pickup games of T1, so it was rather depressing 
BD's favorite villain q'ed at Northeast
I didn't know ur mom played t2
Haha.
Hey, the BD'ers down south didn't do to well with neither Roy (random-miser) Manuel (Arex) me (AmosW99) or the guy from Luisiana with the OSE deck (forgot his name) qualifing. I won two side drafts though :P go me.
BTW, a friend of mine got his type 1 deck and type 2 deck stolen, so if anyone sees someone with an ancestral and 4 drains walking around who wouldn't normally have them, and he went to south regionals, please kindly beat the piss out of him and get the decks back thanks. I think there is some sort of reward, contact me with info if you have any.
Anyway, I played B/R rouge sorcery
My friends played:
Sligh
U/W
U/G
Nobody did particularly well, the top decks in the field seemed to be B/G braids/monger beatings and U/B Tog, with R/G and U/G doing pretty well.

I played Zevatog. It looked familiar with the "play enchantment for 1U, play island-go, win"-routine. (Yes, I sometimes play Stasis in 1.x.)

Not to spread rumors, but Sadin told me Negator cheated and rules lawyered a bunch of weaker players to Q. If it's true, why these kids didn't stick up for themselves as it was happening is beyond me. Throw some tables over goddamnit!
I actually never saw any rules-lawyering happening at the Norwegian Nationals. Everything went smooth. One guy raised an eyebrow when I said he couldn't resolve a madness Arrogant Worm after I had Mana Shorted, but went "ah, of course, neat trick" after I'd explained how it works :o)

I went 4-3-drop with a U/W/b Millstone deck. I had fun, though.
@ Amos: I'm the guy whose name you forgot.
Amos - email me at u***[email protected]***o.com and I'll send you some foil Sterling Groves.

I'm currently world champ, just not in real life.
A little like legend actually
Hey Matt, how are you? Hey, I think you were the one doing better from all of us BDers that attended the Regionals at Dallas. You collection is awsome. Sorry we were not able to talk more, but after I dropped the main event trying to get a T1 side event going with no luck, I left. You were still playing at the moment. By the way, did u stayed there until is was over? Do you know who won?
Thanks
Most important to me is not who Q'ed but who all is going to Nationals in Orlando?
I'll be there.
There doesn't seem to be an official T1 event on the schedule, but im sure we can get one going.
I actually emailed about T1 at nats, and Andy Heckt wrote me back saying that if 8 people want it, they'll run it.
A friend of mine Q'd, so I may be going. I'd definitely be looking for T1.
Well I live in Tampa, so for me NOT to go would be retarded.
Besides, it would be nice to put a face with some of these names.
Grr....when the hell are we going to hold nats/worlds in LA? I want some of this T1 side event action.....

@CF -

I must be missing something.
What was the order of spells?
Yeah, please elaborate on the whole madness mana short thing.
On the madness mana short thing:
CF's opponent discarded an Arrogant Wurm (surely intending to pay it's madness cost). CF responded by using Mana Short. Mana Short resolves, pretty much tapping his opponent out. The opponent can no longer play the Arrogant Wurm for it's madness cost (he does not have any available mana), losing the card in the process. Mana Short, in this case works in much the same way as Orim's Chant (almost like a pseudo-counterspell for madness abilities).
Hope that helps...
The Arrogant Wurm thing works because while the RFG part of madness is a replacement effect, the actual casting needs to be done when you have priority
I also had a funky madness play:
1) Opponent Duresses me, seeing Circular Logic, Nightscape Familiar, and land
2) Opponent takes Circular Logic
3) I use the first madness ability to remove it from the game
4) (After like 10 minutes with a judge and finally the HJ who confirms what I'm doing) my opponent has to avoid casting Braids for the turn, giving me a chance to draw into a FoF to find an Aether Burst for her when she came out next turn.
Oh, I get it.
I was picturing him dumping the wurm in response to your shorting his eot.
Pretty cool play wth the Logic.

If he Duresses you before his attack phase this doesnt work, right? He can just declare an attack, the priority passes and the Logic must resolve. Actually, if he can do anything that passes priority you have to play or let it go to the graveyard (as I understand it!)
Now I am starting to confuse myself. If I declare "I'm headed for attack, anything for you to resolve?" and you say, "umm, putting Logic in graveyard," can I walk back into the pre-attack main phase and say "Since you had an effect during main phase, we are still in main phase and I have a Braids I would like to cast."?
At various times tricks like this have been legal ("Attack phase?" "Icy your Pup." "Well then, I cast Ball Lightning!") but I'm not sure if the resolving of the Logic madness kicks the priority back to the opponent or not.

And Circular Logic will be added to the stack at the beginning of combat (or beginning of end step depending on which main phase it was.)
