Name/ Fco. Javier Domínguez Amaya

Age/ 21

Record/ 5 wins and 2 draws

What deck did you chose to play today and why ?/
I played a UWR blink deck(it could be called light-angelfire, lol)'cause it works well against aggro if you're able to put the creature+blink sinergy into play, and it has really good chances against control too.

Any Thoughts on PT Valencia ?/
Not so much, I'd like to see a spanish player on top8, but it seems that i'll never happens. GO SPAIN!

What deck do you expect to be the most popular at states ?/
I don't know which deck will be the most popular, the most powerful decks I saw are MU pickles and GW Merfolks... and UWR Blink too!

Which magic-league player would you like to meet in real life ?/
I'm new in ML, i started 2 months ago I think and I'm just alone, just with my teammates.

Record/ 6-0

What deck did you chose to play today and why ?/
My own rogue creation, basically a big mana R/G deck that drops huge fatties and sees if you can answer them. It’s a fun deck to play

Any Thoughts on PT Valencia ?/
To be honest I'm not a big fan of extended, I feel like a lot of doing well in extended tourney's is getting lucky enough to dodge god combo hands like celiphad, ideal, Dredge or w/e

What deck do you expect to be the most popular at states ?/
I expect a whole lot of tarmogoyf, thoughtseize and elves

Which magic-league player would you like to meet in real life ?/

What deck did you chose to play today and why ?/
I haven't been playing Magic for a year, returned to it 1 week ago, due to a friend and interest in the pro scene. Not knowing a single card other than the reprinted ones from 10th edition in the format, I set my MWS filter onto White/Artifact/Lands gathered all possibly playble cards in the format and tried to form some kind of mono w control ( according to what i heard a deck very similiar already existed, though i want to add.

Any Thoughts on PT Valencia ?/
Extended seems like two people sitting next to eachother doing goldfishs, the one who needs fewer turns, won. So I got no clue on the format, not to mention it's too much to ask for sliding into 2 complex formats within a Week.

What deck they expect to be the most popular at upcoming states ?/
no clue

Which magic-league player would you like to meet in real life ?/
Flash14, we know eachother over the guy who brought me back to Magic, also in the same team. We talked abit today, asking for my deck since he heard about the positive testing results from the common friend. We where shivering the whole day together to get into T8 , though we both got in rather easy.

Hi!
I play here since... 2 days? =P

Joaoxavier - brazilian mike flores, did the deck with Billy, but he don't know how to play :p

But I know :)

Well, thanks for all the brazilians and some good opponents I faced, except 1 opponent that said I would not make top8 and offended me sometimes after the game. But ok, not a problem. I said "good luck" to him.

My opponent on top8 was a very good guy, g1 I lost(nice game), g2 I keeped hand with 2 lands, 1 Think T., 3 Iron and 1 Soul Hunter. I did not see the third land all the game, with a lot of draws :P

i still cant believe no one ever wants to meet me :-(


by Batutinha on 2007-10-14 21:07 MDT

Congratulations Pit42 ...
You deserved Tuesday gained, not Drawing merit the other players.
Pena that even though I make the team be excluded so as not to go with deck created by you and yes, a BG created by min, I went ate better than João

But this is ae, two days here and was playing in the top8 Master ...

Congratulations by top8
