Yes, it's true. I was mowed down like a yard full of weeds last night at the shop. My Rakdos deck went against Green Lifegain Devotion 1-2, then a Boros Aggro 2-0, then a Mono Red Aggro 0-2. Then I got a Bye, so I just dropped lol. No way I was placing at that point.

However, I did end up playin my Elf Ball EDH afterwards and had a lot of fun!

We had like 30+ people there last night ;) so Top 8 only.

You get 4 rounds?
Wow...

We get three rounds at our card shop and you get a booster pack of your choice for every round you win...
Ours depends on how many show up. I've seen 4-6 rounds, usually 5, then cut to top8... Everyone gets a pack, then top8 is based on how many showed. Usually top4 split the prizes, cause then it's usually 1-2 am. Usually we get 4 packs each.

You peeps and all you new tangled standard goodness... What ever happened to the good old days when throwing down a {craw giant} made people panic?
It wasn't the craw giant... It was the {lure} attached...

At my local FNM we have about 50 turn up! You get one booster for entering and then the top 10 get more!

Wow! That's awesome I wish my FNMs were like that :( we just get 4 for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd which is reasonable

My shop does this thing where you can play for free or you can pay in $5 and have a chance to get money back out of the pot in the form of store credit. I normally pay in and get $10 back, but last week I got $18 and the week before that I paid someone else in to play my deck for standard and he let me have the prize money so I got like $25 in total that night (Also played sealed C13, took first in that too~). xP Even though I already spent the $25 before I left the store... Lol, Nykthos and Master of Waves are expensive (Don't worry, LG, it was only 1-ofs for my Wizards EDH. =P).

Yay for UWR winning me monies! =3

That's how ours usually is depending on the amount of people that show. 1st & 2nd usually get packs/credit, 3rd & 4th get slightly less packs/credit, and then 5-8 gets 1 pack or $3.00 credit.
