Written by Weedmonkey on August 16, 2009

Top 8 Profiles

RiQuSP

Name: Rikus Pilat
Age: 24
Location: Gronigen, The Netherlands
Deck Choice and Why: Kev's Cruel Control, I was tired of playing faeries and felt like playing something random. I played it a bit yesterday and today and haven't lost a match yet..
Thoughts on the Master: Smooooooth, gj Brimstone, still I think my offer for the 2nd bye was pretty much one you should've taken!
If you had to vote a Magic-League judge to become President of a new world government, who would it be and why?: Kev, so he can buy a huge castle and we could move there. I really like the current house we live in but it's easier to lure chicks into a castle (+ the dungeon to get rid of 'accidents' is something we are really missing right now)
Anything else you wish to add?: #JAJAJA

Pretoriano

Name: Saul Alvarado
Age: 29
Location: Panama
Deck Choice and Why: Elementals, Has good matchups overall and i wont face many mirrors because is hard to play.

brimstone

If you had to vote a Magic-League judge to become President of a new world government, who would it be and why?: Brimstone. For all the reasons listed above.
Anything else you wish to add?: #roo4you is the best channel on the server and everyone there with @ or above (ACM, Aphasia, brimstone, iSilent, JedD, Lucie_Lastic, str8, Teh_blues, Y, and, of course, Roo) are awesome. Go Team FX!
