I'd post a pic of the power, but I still need like 3 pieces, so instead here's a pic of a Broodstar. If you have power you're looking to get rid of, contact me.

Damn. I've never hated you.  I'll see if I can't get there with a few people on the way. Depends on work situations.

Name a date that doesn't conflict with anything. Trust me, I tried. July 4 is Independence Day, July 11 is the prerelease, July 18 is the release, July 25 is Nationals, August 1 is the Steel City P9, and August 15 is Gencon. And I am NOT doing it the week between Steel City and Gencon. __________________

I lol'd. I wish I could go, I hate being in New England for large midwest events, and at school in the midwest during big New England events. There is just no winning.

I've got the weekend off I'm just securing a ride now. Hopefully my two cousins will come with. Can I use my Gamingetc.com proxies or will I have to alter cards to use and what not? With just over three weeks to go I'm psyched! New B&R list paired with M10 being legal I wonder what decks will be dominating?

GamingEtc proxies have different backs, so you can't use them. I'd recommend making proxies with a sharpie and Revised basic lands.__________________

I wish I could make the trip from Saginaw, but alas, I am poor. I'd go just to point and laugh as ICBM's Oath loses horribly to just about everything else in the format.

So who here is going to attend this? I'd like to meet some MOTL members in person! I'll be the guy with a backpack FULL of beef jerky. I'll give you a bag if you mention my screenname.
