I'll be there trying to win with Iona and zombie tokens.


anyone else planning to go?

[damien]

I am have alook on atogatog and help me pick a deck to play!

[damien]

and does anybody want to test ext before we go? if so what times are you free?

[Glen]

if anyone needs a deck I have a pretty decent Green / Blue counter control deck with some nice mana acceleration in order to drop out a nice big Scute Mob that can eat all opposing Tarmogoyfs. Backed up with some Faeries (Vendillion Clique & Sower of Temptation)

Hey, yer I was trying to get the combo elves together, I'd love to test, Jack, myself, Rob, Monty Marcus and Michael got together the other day and did some testing. Lotta fun considering I had never played extended before

[Dan]

extended is fun but from what i have seen the really competive decks are normaly doing 3 turn wins or they just combo out for the win.

That keeps me away from the major extended comps.

[r00kienator]

Yer it's true, The deck I'm testing combos and wins turn 3 or 4.

[steve]

There are quite a few decks ot there that combo by turns 2, 3 or 4. Often these decks do take longer to win a game, but have the luxury of some cheap wins.

The main decks in extended as I see them are:

Dark Depths Thopter
Scapeshift
Zoo (including Bant, Naya, Tribal, Dark Naya, Boom Bust)
Dredge
Hypergenisis
Living End
Elves
Affinity
Faeries
Teachings
Doran
Mono red burn

The main combos to have an answer for are Thopter Foundary Sword of the Meek and Dark Depths. Unfortunately they are predominately in the same deck!!
I also expect a fair amount of scapeshift and zoo.
