Bear season started early this year...Paul Sung won the SoCal qualifier in Sacramento on Saturday.

He managed to go undefeated through both good hands and bad.

Way to go Paul!

And Kariggi, I am a 'repect my space and I will not force your nasal passage into your rectum' kind of guy...so The Deranged Bear kept his appendages to himself while playing. No word on if he undressed anyone with his eyes, but everyone playing was male and over 18, so I doubt there was anyone in attendance who fit the Bear's tastes.

The single coolest play of the torunament came when player James Martin managed to get 3 Rogue 5 drop (the one from MEV) into play on turns 1 and 2. He had 4 characters with cost 5 hit the field of play on turn 5...very nasty stuff. (Especially since he was not playing with Blink.)

A good time was had by all!
How did he get 3 Rogues into play on turn 1-2. I needs to know or my brain will explode.

That part I knew, I wanted to know how you get out 3 five drop characters out between turns 1 and 2.

To my knowledge there is not a combo out that can do that.

I'm guessing he shifted them with the three available resources generated on turn 1 & 2, 3rp = 3 shifted rogues.

If I thought any of my matches would go past 4 I'd be worried.

BUt the statement made, was that he go them in play. And to me that is impossible or someone did not know the rules and cheated.

This clearly indicates to me while his terminology may not be exacting that I can discerne the truth of the matter and I think you can too if you don't attempt to be too critical of a quick description of events.

It saddens me to announce that the South Bay contingent of NorCal will not be able to make this event.

Work scheds left us a very small window to get down there and back, so we thought we'd fly in and out in a day. Unfortunately, the latest flight out of there is 8, meaning we'd have to be at the airport at 7, meaning we'd have to leave at 6:45, meaning if any of us made it to the finals, we'd likely have to drop since the even starts at 3.

Sad Pandas. But good luck! We'll make it down there again sometime...

I wasn't being critical at all. I seriously wanted to know how to do it. I love combos and that seemed to be the grand daddy of them all.

Wow - thanks so much for the offer! I'm not sure if it's too late or not, but I'll check flights then check with the guys (conveniently, tonight is Vs. night).

I am sorry for the confusion:

The player used his resource from Turn 1 to shift a Rogue into the shifted zone...so it's not technically 'in play', though the card was 'played'.

He did the same thing on turn 2, using one resource point for each of two rogues, giving him 3 shifted Rogues: Again not technically 'in-play', but having been played nonetheless.

On turn 3 he dropped a 3 drop character into play.

On turn 4 he evened out the resource points so that all 3 Rogues could hit the field of play on turn 5 and still recruit a 5 drop character. I do not remember if he got an underdropped character into play along with the points spent on the shifted Rogue.

No magic, but still really cool and intimidating to see in person.

Oh, I see. Well it was still a good play. Even if their wasn't any super duper three 5 drops on turn 2 comboing goin on.

I can totally see where you were coming from: With it having been a golden age event, all kinds of nasty trickery could have taken place...but nothing as good as the way I errantly wrote it.

It was just cool seeing 3 Rogues on turn 5. (There was another 5 drop too, but Rogue scared me so badly, I totally forgot who was dropped with Rogue [zombie] )
