PTQ Minnesota - This Weekend

[John Galli]

So there was talk floating around for a while, but then the holidays hit and we all got settled into other things.

Is there any interest in caravaning up to twintown for some fresh extended? Chris and Travis I know that both of you seemed interested, and I think I'd be too. Obviously, we haven't done any testing or settled on decks (which is bad), but we could probably arrange a build and test session at some point this week if people want to go for it.

Cost would be the big thing, and that's something I know all of us want to keep low. I wouldn't want to do it unless at least 3 of us were splitting gas + hotel; preferably 4 of us.

It's Monday now, I figure if we organized it by Wednesday night it would be an option, beyond that though hotel costs would jack up and it'd be too little time to prepare.

I'm in. Only problem is, my schedule is tight up to Thursday afternoon, and I have off from then until Sunday, so playtesting is a bit inconvenient. On the other hand, I know what deck I'm going to be playing (hint: Steppe Lynx and fetch lands) so I know how to play it.

Typical Matt Hines: whackin' the Bush across all formats.

I also work until Thursday at 5 (New Year's Eve) and then my schedule is pretty wide open.

prolly will not be going to this ptq for a bunch of reason but i have request time off for the one in madison and the second one in minnieappolus though and i will request off the at least one in chicago and maybe for the one in iowa but i really would rather not go to iowa

I just wanted to let you guys know Travis and I were discussing getting together today (new years - Fri) for a playtesting session to iron out some ideas on extended or just have some fun playing cards. Probably gonna be either at his house or my house, if anyone's interested just shoot me a text or give me a call 847-922-4510. There's also a very outside possibility that we may still go up to Minneap tomorrow depending on how playtesting would go and if there was a cheapy hotel.

Hopefully some of you see this or got my text earlier and don't have too many plans
