It’s possible I’m wrong too. And it’s possible we should have had the “command no other headquarters” limit on there, and after European Continentals or whatever we’ll have to do an emergency errata again and it’ll be very embarrassing. But one of the reasons we didn’t put it on there is that people like making dumb combo decks and we wanted to let them try.

But some people are making some very confident declarations about how cards they haven’t actually tried out will work in an actual game. A lot of folks think they have a PhD in Theoretical Playtesting (which, to be fair, is what most of the actual “playtest reports” contain these days...)

The dead are good like that, but I want a more modern perspective. That’s why I test with Kramer and the rest of the Van Buren Boys out of New York. :D

That's the most Time Lordian type of picture of a US President that I've ever seen...

Michael,
not of that clan of VB's

Since Worlds has been taken.. I'll say Euro Continentals, possibly by someone who either 1) Can't make Worlds so uses their best deck; or 2) Someone testing their Worlds deck.

And I agree on the time-lordy-ness of the pic :D

This is the first weekend that the latest set, and the new formed Terra Prime subfaction, will be legal for tournaments. How long do you think it will take for it to win an event? Will it happen right out of the gate? Does it need time for players to master it? It is more of something that will be king in Continentals next month?

If you had to pick how many weeks it would take, without repeating someone else's choice, how many would you guess?
Does the Dojo or Sykes online tournament count as 0 weeks for when they start or 4 weeks for when they end because I think TK's correct that it'll get played and it'll probably win. I also see a number of Regionals on this weekend, I wouldn't be super surprised if it won one of those.

If 0 weeks counts as taken by TK though I'm going with 1 week and a Brit will do it in their tournaments on the 9th.
