And no one wants to go back to Mercadia. NO ONE.

@Alex: I fully expect to be playing the game in a decade, so I’ll definitely let you know how I’m feeling.

I’m Old Man Alex and I’m 38. -_-

But you’re absolutely right. It’s all about the players. I love going to PTQ’s/GP’s and having a great time with great friends. Win or lose. Winning is better of course but yea, the trip is half the fun.

And GRAHAM!! q’d?! Wow, I never realized it- with him losing again and again in solomon all-Invasion commons.

Aside, next time you talk to R&D members, beg them to bring us back to the world of Cho Manno!

Also, don’t give up on Starcraft… a bunch of top pros were just charged with illegal gambling and game fixing- there is a spot for your grandpa hands!

I guess my skills are just more suited to that style of game than Starcraft :/

It was my first and best deckbuilding success.

Koreans are my idols! (pssst- raining is Korean-American!) I am pretty good as mass Medic/Marine now!

Nate, which two friends Q’d with Snuff? I am convinced the best Masques Block deck was UW Rising Waters, but alas, I never got to PTQ with it.

Drafting got really unhealthy during the Invasion/Odyssey period. I’d hate to think how many 4-mans I did in the span of two years.
