It seemed to work really well and I spent the entire day testing, changing the numbers and beating almost everything. I put together a version of the green ramp deck, cutting some random cards like Swords and adding some Nexus, Titans to 4 etc. They weren’t sure what to play, but liked UB and GW tokens a lot. There were around 10 other people, including all the best Australian players. Fortunately it all worked out and when I woke up, I was good to go, but I would feel very stupid if I couldn’t and basically incinerated $3500 due to my own stupidity/laziness.Īfter approximately 30 hours of flying through Paris and Singapore, I got to Brisbane on Thursday morning and found out that I wasn’t the only person staying with Aaron. I called Aaron Nicoll, whom I was staying with, and he called the visa office, explained my situation and they said they would look into it. Unfortunately, the website only has a number that you can call from within Australia, as they clearly don’t want people bothering them with stupid questions when they are filling the form. Somehow it didn’t, and the morning of the day I was supposed to leave, I still didnt have my visa. You are supposed to do it 14 days before you leave, but since the last two times I did it, I got an email from the system within a couple hours, saying that I was granted entry and everything was fine, I thought it would work the same way. Playing Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves sounded much more appealing than Viridian Emissary and I immediately liked the idea.īefore leaving for Milan, I applied for the online visa for Australia. We were looking at some Standard decklists and Shuhei told me about a 100+ person trial in Japan, where 5 people played a MonoGreen Kessig Ramp deck and 4 of them made Top 8.
Not making day 2 for the third straight time definitely sucked and I was hoping I could get some points in Brisbane, as the GPs in Australia are always very small.
GP Milan was sealed deck and my UW deck looked fine, with some rares and a lot of fliers, but I got repeatedly crushed by cards like Bloodline Keeper that I didnt have any answers for. I would go back home after GP Milan for a day, then leave on tuesday for GP Brisbane, go to Peru on the Monday after the tournament, do some sightseeing, move to Santiago on Friday, play in the GP, go to Japan and spend the week at Shuhei’s and finally go back home after GP Hiroshima. 10 minutes and 3500$ later, we had our tickets for a giant trip. We were looking at what GPs we had left in the season and talking about a sightseeing trip to Machu Picchu before or after GP Santiago. I was sitting at 37 points and Shuhei at 33, so things didnt look very well. After GP Montreal, we were sitting with Shuhei in our hotel room, talking about our chances to make level 8 this year.
