[Philip Dickinson]

wow... unblocked demonic tutor... cool :P

as for nats dates... :S, so much for playing GP Shanghai this year... are hotels cheap nearby?

[Daniel Royde]

Pete, you realise you're not currently Q'd for nats?!

 

[Peter Dun]

really? I would have thought with all the rating I've been gaining in China it would be enough....

if not, nvm, will LCQ ;)

[Peter Dun]

top 75 right? I'm 72nd, and I've got 2x 2-0-1 drafts and a 5-0 pre-release (thank you sunblast angel, 3RW 5/4 metalcraft guy, batterskull, cerebral eruption, 8x removal spell deck [with sb 4 B/P 2/4 and contagion clasp!])

You can get a double/twin at nearby travelodge for 20/night if 2 of you share

kk :), do you have to book now? link?

[Paul Hodgson]

Premier inn is £87 for 3 nights, even better :D

 

If there's a bunch of folk going might be worth doing a group booking, will call them tomorrow and see if they would do anything for 6 - 8 rooms

[Peter Dun]

wow.... just checked.... 13 total ratings point lost for a 1-1 draft...

that dropped me from 66->92

I guess I'll have to LCQ... (although this year I actually have a deck I like and have tested significantly.... so fingers crossed) as I won't sit on rating even after those events (with all the stress from thesis and last minute essays, mtg is the one thing keeping me sane atm....)
