Worlds Side Events - what events are people playing?!

[wv]

A question to all those going to Worlds that aren't ACTUALLY playing in the actual tournament - how will you be spending your time (other than watching the pros obv)?

What events will you be playing? What are you most excited about doing/seeing?

[Ben Titmarsh]

PTQs, GPTs, maybe a standard event and EDH for me!

[Thomas David Baker]

I'll probably sleep through the PTQs as they're so early but I'll play in them if I'm awake. I hope to assemble one deck for each format and just rock up to whatever win-a-foil-set-of-Betrayers-of-Kamigawa-commons competition is kicking off next, go 0-2 drop, rinse and repeat.

When I read this title I thought the question was what decks will we be playing. Answers to that are: Boros (Std), Hypergenesis (Ext), Ad Nauseam Tendrils (Leg), 36 Bears (Vin), Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant (EDH).

Also, dinner out at night is key.

36 bears is going to redefine the format and rock the magic world to its very core.

I shudder at the thought of this imminent rinsing.

Also, fixed title confusion.

it's a joke deck right?! who made it?!

[Dan Barrett]

Olivier Ruel and Paulo Vitor Damo de Rosa collaborated on this, and emailed it to Tom and myself a couple weeks ago.

Surely if the pros were emailing any of us lot decklists it would be to Steve B I think Dan.

[Dan Barrett]

I wanna play a vintage event or two (shooting for best unpowered decklist, as long as i make sure i can beat Ichorid) - then same as rest of ya.

[Kieran Symington]

Everyone should play in the PTGSTW qualifiers. There's even a 2HG one!

[Paul Hodgson]

If I get my flights & accommodation sorted the 2HG qualifier will be top of the list I think
