Ok, so we've all been slacking on our extended testing, building etc. But at the same time, we all haven't gone on a fun magic road trip in a good while, and we all crave that tourney scene.
Thus, the Minneap PTQ is coming up 2 weekends from now. I want to see if anyone is interested here among the crew, preferably 3-4 of us. If we can get at least 3 people including myself, I'm onboard, otherwise I'm going to stay in Madison that weekend and do something else.
As for plans, if we get interest, I want to snag a hotel by this Friday (March 19th). I plan on making this trip as cheap as possible if we go, so here's what I'm thinking-
Friday - Drive up to Minneap, stay at hotel.
Saturday - Play in tourney, drive back.
Take 1 car, and share hotel, probably something cheap like Days Inn ($50-60 total). Gas with Minneap usually comes out to about 2 tanks, so somewhere in the $60-100 range. These costs would be split between the 3 or 4, and end up coming out fairly reasonable for a fun weekend trip.
I'm not expecting to do great or anything, although I'd certainly try to. Deck-wise, I was considering the Ultamecia deck (if someone can loan me two jaces), otherwise I'd work on my green/white haterade and try to get it to a point where it's stronger against zoo and thopter.
Let me know what you guys think. I'm cool whether we go or don't go, or even if people don't want to play magic and instead just go on a road trip somewhere. That's always fun and it's been too long. Plus we need to add to the Indiana spoiler list
