The meta-game

How many will you spot at your next major Magic event?

Magic Grand Prix Bingo

... but seriously, I had a fantastic time at GP Portland, playing cards and meeting people. I was going to write up a comprehensive report laden with wit and misplays but it's a week after the fact and Scars of Mirodin is breathing down my neck and I'm going to let a snide bingo card be the statement.

  1. That was awesome - just because it is so damn true and personally witnessed. Now realising just how irritating most of this is.

  2. My "bored significant other" can print this off and bring it to the next FNM for something to do!

  3. You should add a square for "Spectator coughing blood on a play mat." Yes, that happened to me. Projectile cough-blood right on Iona's head gear.

    My response, "Wow. Did you just cough blood on my play mat?"

    Later, one of my teammates remarked, "you should have called red!"

  5. Justin, that is pretty nasty but at least you weren't the one coughing blood.

    MtGVeteran: I know, I thought it would be easier to find people and hang out which was dumb and I had neither a plan nor a computer/phone that would allow me to improvise one. Next time I'll think it through more.

    What happened with GerryT and Ornithopter? I saw him tweet that he'd lost to it but didn't see any details. Multiple Steel Overseer? I had opponents play Ornithopter a couple times over the weekend but it was never more than an 0/2 mistake.

  6. You forgot "ridiculous hat." Unless these have diminished since I was last at a GP.

  7. Oh yeah, totally, Dr. Seuss hats, jester hats, etc. I also forgot tie-dye dragon t-shirt. I'll keep a list and maybe can get enough for a second card next big event I attend.
