GenCon 2013 - Oh, that's you?!
« on: August 19, 2013, 02:33:41 AM »
Hey You!

Were you at GenCon 2013 this year?! If yes, post your real name followed by your forum name (and I do realize that it's not just kind of redundant) so everyone knows who everyone is. I'd love to PM you guys my contact info so we can talk tactics. I'll kick us off.


Jerome M. - Dijirati


Also, congrats to all the tournament winners and tournament qualifiers! You guys are awesome! I appreciate you guys allowing me to play a few pick up games with you - next years Con season is going to be no joke.

Special shout out to the Official Rules Archmage, Shadow, for clarifying the most difficult of rule conflicts and steering the tournament ship.

Nick Tinko checking in, feel free to track me down on Facebook or Skype(N4srudin)! Posting on my phone right now on the way back so I'm keeping it short but everything was awesome and I'll be there next year aiming for that first place spot!

@Hanma Ill shoot you a request on FB tonight sometime and message you my cell. I had a Priestess book idea I wanted to talk to you about. I need to double check a few cards I never use but if they read as I think... it could be bananas!

I actually had a really funny idea to build an enchantment transfusion divine intervention deck that turtles and then one turn kills haha. :) But yeah, I'd love to hear about it. We need some good competitive priestess builds.

Steve Kozlowski checking in here, or, as people kept saying that I met: "oh, you're the werewolf"  :P

Had a good time meeting everyone and putting some faces to the names.  Wish I could have played in some events, but I will hopefully be able to next year!

Andy G. here, tried finding you on FB Hanma but it says you are nonexistent! Look for Andy Yesimcrazy Glass on Facebook, and I'll shoot you a message from there. Me and Jerome were actually thinking about ways to break a certain Holy card and to build around it...

Hey it's Alec Carey, just "Alec" on the forums. I played a warlock, warlord, earth wizard, and back to my warlock in the championship Sunday. I'd love talking tactics and spellbook construction with all you guys.

Stephen Walters - Hellkite on the forum.

I don't post all that often(although I do read most of the threads), but if you guys want to get ahold of me you can send me a message on here or shoot me one on facebook.  Had a great time at Gencon and looking forward to next year.

   want to take this opportunity to say that the competition at gencon was excellent. it was particularly interesting to see how pople outside our local group played.

   i expected the agression, but it was still somewhat surprising to see it up close. if you could weather the hyper agression storm, while winding up the haymaker counter punch, it could throw the agressor back quite a bit, since they do not expect the opponent to still be there after their fury. still it was very interesting to see how folks built their spellbooks for tournement play. it was also great to see a wide variety of mages fielded. i do believe that everyone had a great time.

    Thanks to the AW staff and volunteers for putting together the event for us all.

Good to hear you all had fun.
If you want to find me on FB you will need to know somebody on my friends list.


I think I will keep that EW control build under wraps for a while

Hi All,

Chuck Carey here. Alec's dad. I was just glad to made it to this years Gen Con. Didn't make the finals but was very happy to go 2-1 in Fridays Qual.  This was my 1st Gen Con back after taking a three year break. I went to Gen Con for 18 years straight.  Thanks for bringing back the fun AW.
