We’ll also have some side events for anyone that wants to come out and support their local teams (i.e. cube drafting).

The top 4 will earn a spot on the team, plus Spring GNK prizes for everyone.

I am particularly upset that this is going to be on the same day as the Toronto regional. While I would love to cross the river for this, getting to go to a regional in my own country takes precedence.

@anon50033301 might be interested.

@voltorocks - Do you think the Kalamazoo crew will want to put together a team for this?

[voltorocks]

we’re in talks. lotta dads and moms on our crew so it may be a bit last minute if everyone schedule and childcare works out. Looks like a fun event, though - I hope I can make it!

We had a 10-person GYGO team qualifier this Monday using the GLC MWL. Here a bit of a peek at the GLC MWL meta using the full Mumbad cycle cardpool:

Wins by Identities:

Matchups:

Not a huge event, of course, but I don’t think there’s much data on the GLC MWL. So, add this to the pile (or start the pile with it). I don’t think there was anyone on Museum of History or Mumbad City Hall. I think only the Noise players were on Faust (maybe Edward as well). Shaper seems to be the big winners.

With less than a week to go, now will be a great time to let me know if you want to bring a team or be placed on one. Or, just plan on coming and hanging out.

You forgot the most important statistic of all, Tim.

1 Paper Tripping which cleared 15 Midseasons tags.

[tvaduva]

You’re right! That is the most important.

Bryce

[tvaduva]

I tried to tag him as “@king_of_africa” but it doesn’t look like he’s registered here Not quite sure the significance of the the handle, all I could gather from the Slack discussion a few weeks ago was that he’s a fan of Josh’s decks?

The trio of college players have gotten really good over the last year. They’ve won half of the store championships in Michigan, and done really well in some of the Regionals. It’s really cool to have some good young players in our local meta.

[spags]

That is cool.

He’s on slack as @coolkid. KOA is his alt.

[tvaduva]

Yeah, I think I knew he was @coolkid. Just not sure where the “Find KOA” meme came from. (But, if it’s disparaging, it’s better left unwritten.)
