Post by: Quackmaster5 on July 07, 2012, 07:16:51 PM
Touché. But since you are talking about rotation in the mathematical sense, turning something clockwise is seen as a negative degree value. So your choices are either
-90 degrees or 270 degrees. I see your "lawyered" and raise you "mathed".
Title: Re: Midnight prerelease.
Post by: Rass on July 07, 2012, 07:25:20 PM
Last time I took a math class I was taught angles can go any direction. So if I start with a vertical line and go 90 degrees click wise or counter clock wise it is still a 90 degree angle. Also I never said anything about math. I just said it still rotates and I personally rotate it a 1/4 turn clockwise. Some people rotate their stuff mor or less. Also I never said anything about lawyered. So sorry to burst so many bubbles.

Well, I went 2-2 with white/green. {Primordial Hydra} is a beast!
{Odric, Master Tactician} is a dick.
Title: Re: Midnight prerelease.
Post by: Eryama on July 07, 2012, 10:31:18 PM
I did a sealed draft this afternoon and ended up with a 2-1 record and won 6 packs. It was pretty awesome!!
Title: Re: Midnight prerelease.
Post by: Almosteric on July 07, 2012, 11:42:22 PM
Ouch!!!  Went 0-2 then got the buy. Haha. Decided it was time to leave after that. Still fun and since I hardly ever play live events anymore I enjoyed myself.

I  played against two types of GW. {elserscale worn} and {odeic} were insane.
Along with the fetch a death touch reach or hexproof gal. And mana ramping.

Saw some few playing mono black. Some gal pulled two Lillies. Lots of flying as to be expected.  I'd say if you can run BW exhalted.

Removal removal removal!!!!

I did worse than I've ever done in a tournament. I did pull a {vampire nocturnus} though. Couldn't use him, 0 other vampires and garbage black in my packs. But I got to take him home I guess. Picked up an Odric intro pack while there and opened a {Worldfire} in there. People were getting crazy good pulls from intro packs. Including Ajani and Lili.

Man!  I made the stupidest move during one of my matches.  I attacked with my 17/17 {Serra avatar}.  I forgot he had that freaking {stuffy doll}.  He blocked for the win.  Duh!  Lol!  He even asked me if I was sure I wanted to attack.  Lol!

Post by: Hays413 on July 08, 2012, 06:33:01 PM
Haha brutal dude.
I just finished, went 3-2 with BU mill/drake
It did okay, but the only reason I won 3 matches was because I lost the first two, so I was paired with weaker decks.
