Milton Keynes National Qualifier - Sunday 23rd May

[Kevin Blake]

So this Sunday sees our first NQ. The venue and time details can be found on the front page of our website www.mkmtg.co.uk in the events and find us links.

I reckon we can comfortably cater for 64 players, maybe more, and I think it's unlikely that we will get many more than that attending. However, if you are definitely coming I would strongly advise you to let me know in advance so that I can guarantee you a place. Email me on [e-mail].

At the moment I am playing on driving to this event and will have space in my car.

I have not looked at what time I would be leaving or which route, but I live in Victoria Park and will have to drive through Islington, so can pick up people at Highbury and Islington station.

First call get the seats!

[Paul Hodgson]

Hmm, Thorpe Park, or MK...

What's everyone's thoughts on geopede jund? Looks reasonably spicy, also liking the vengevine + sarkhan plan too.

[Ben Titmarsh]

I live in Islington so this sounds pretty good. What time do you plan on getting to H&I station?

Do it!

Also, if you can be bothered to refine it and work out a decent sideboard, i'll send you the "HASTEINYOFACE", or "Jundless Jund" deck i was working on that Mills played around with a bit, it's fairly spicy. If you get blightninged first, you can get 15 hastey damage on turn 3.

It would be about 10 am on Sunday.

I will confirm on here later in the week.

Thanks Gary. I wonder how good Jund will be by National time. Every UW or UWr I played against so far were really really hard marches. I knew I really need to win my first game otherwise I knew I would be in bad shape as it will always go to time.

Re: Dan, what is this spicy Jund list then? I am interested too. Also, com'on the rest of you, get down and good luck this weekend.

Gary Lynch said:

Well done Ray, Glad to have you on the list of Q'ed players. I guess im not arround enough any more, who is Pietro?

Raymond Wat said:

Sorry Tom, as Paul said I made it at Portsmouth so won't be going to MK (even not Q'ed, I won't be able to go anyway due to previous committment). Would you need anymore cards for your Jund? Which version are you playing? Let me know and I will bring it on Tuesday to the club. Good luck.

@ Dan: the third Londoner was Pietro Aronica piloting Polymorph.

Thomas David Baker said:

Anyone going to this? I don't have my car this weekend so it'd be the 08:17 out of Euston, which is pretty ugly.

Google Maps says it's 59 minutes down the M1 from Brent Cross station which sounds much more like it. Ray - are you driving? :) I have my petrol money ready ...

After this there's just Coventry (29th) and Brighton (30th) and the LCQs.

[Gary Lynch]

I think Jund will still be good, just needs a little tweaking to improve the control matchups. I think knowing how to play the match up well is really important. Im considering more Malakir Bloodwitch's, possibly even main. Its a hard threat for them to deal with, pretty much needs a Wrath all on its own.

Im interested to see how the Geopede deck plays out now people are aware of it.

Hi all,

I am going Sunday. If you need a lift, I will be at Highbury and Islington station about 10am.

Call me on 07508 268648 to let me know.

Jason

[Thomas David Baker]

Hey Jason,

That would be cool if you have a spare seat. But you won't make it in time for 11am start if you set off at 10am, will you?

Hi all,

I thought it was a doors open at 11 and not a start at 11, so the pick up time has to be 9.30am on Sunday.

Ben, I got your text.
Thomas, text me to confirm.

See you then.

Jason

Just to update you, I have 15 pre-reg'd so far. Sooner you guys email me the sooner I can guarantee you a place.
