Tahn
Name: Peter Vieren
Age: 22
Nationality: Belgian
Occupation: Student
Deck you chose today and why: Faeries, because it's still one of the best in Standard and very hard to play against, and because I know it somewhat from testing Block Constructed
Who would you like to meet from magic-league: Nobody really... I don't come here much to know people. Just PV cause that'd mean having qualified for the PT
How much did PT Hollywood affect your deckchoice today: Not much. I thought maybe more people would play Reveillark again which would be good for Faeries.
Anything you'd like to add: Hi mum.

MrFik

can someone answer my question ? (4 posts ago)


by Nameless1 on 2008-05-28 10:34 MDT

Of course you can NOT play just the day 2 of nats...


by ringman on 2008-05-29 08:05 MDT

lol rostejn...
i failed my last nats bcz of a football match and i will prob miss it again...shame on me:7


by dv8r on 2008-06-06 08:47 MDT

there is NOTHING to say that you can't only play day 2 of nats provided you lose every match in day 1. if a free draft is worth that loss in rating go for it
