i have finally gotten bored of drafting. i have drafted so much this week and 3-0 and 2-1 to my hearts content. i did two drafts today and i just didnt care right after the first round leading me to believe that it is time for a break from drafting and i need to try a sealed deck tourney. the last time i did t sealed deck was for the irl prerelease for SOM and i did horrible. but now that i feel like i have a grasp on the limited format, i think i can do much better than i usually would.
I have my PTQ paris in december and i am hoping that i do well and i will be trying out new standard concoctions and just hanging out with people that i know attend. last time there was a whole channelfireball store area for ptq amsterdamn which was actually really cool. i was the largest set of people grouped together in the entire tourney and i was pretty happy alot of the stores members showed up. but this time not only will i be playing supporting the channelfireball store but i will be repping 60cards.com, the site i actually write for. sucks that i probably wont get a shirt to wear to the event and its not looking good for the 60cards.com playmat. i usually hate to bitch to people about stuff like that, but i really want to rep the site other than word of mouth. i love working for and with those guys and i can only get so many people to hear what i have to say about that site, but imma do my damnedest to spread the name, hopefully i will come up with some sort way that people will see that i rep them....
its funny that i write for 60cards.com actually. i love the podcast, the guys on the cast are amazing. Jesse and Scott have been nothing but supportive and have been helpping me get to where i want to be in the game. Jesse and Scott are great guys and if it wasnt for them and how much love and passion they devote to 60cards.com and how much love they have for the game, i might actually be writing for channelfireball instead. i was presented with an opportunity to actually write for them. they have LSV and Brad Nelson and blah blah blah...fucking Matt Nass...yeah that guy...i dont wanna get into it about him. but yeah, i had an opportunity to write for CFB...but then i found 60cards.com and i was like.... i gotta write for these guys, they know whats up. i shared everything i could with everyone i knew about 60cards.com, the ehteam podcasts and the theories that i agreed with and lots of people actually took notice and took the time to listen to what i had to say. 60cards.com knows what the fuck they are talking about, Jesse knows exactly what the fuck he is doing and is so devoted to the game, its incredible. how could i not wanna back this guy up and be a part of his site?
i read a few different sites and they are probably just the same ones everyone else goes to. they go look for their writers skim and just wait for more stuff to come out. If you actually follow @smi77y on twitter, you will see his thought process and latley his dissatisfaction with the Standard environment and how he is trying so many builds to try to break it. the dude is insane on the standard builds and its only a matter of time until he makes a tier defining deck...i mean have you seen GW tokens...
