Epic Diem Photo Dump

As we know, Epic Diem was truely epic! I promised photo's, and I delivered!

Within the rabble of the geek hordes, great warriors pitted their combat skill in the arena, each vying for martial glory. The doors opened for the markets; joined by the theater showing some of the greatest anime known to man/furry/pony-kind, and a brawling ring where unarmed combatants tested their mettle.

Within the Market district, finest armorers and common traders sold their wares. The markets became a back-drop for a story yet to be told: The epic tale of Theros began...

I am no storyteller, and I spent too much time under the sandal of both the Gods' and Colossus of Akros to weave a tale that does them justice.

I am opening the floor, so if you are willing to recount your Epic saga of the day, I'll give you a booster pack of your choice.

Now I present to you the Epic Diem photo-dump: The photo's all done by Chelsea Manning...

Shame she left the lens cap on when taking the other photo's... Including myself heckling the Scientology stand in a Guy Fawkes Mask, me being beaten by the Infinity Wars demo, and Chelsea's knight in shining Armour...

Our own Aaron cosplaying as Cloud... again.

Heroes in pitched battle. Notice the Guy staring at chelsea's chest.

More of the Struggle. 1

The Greater Battleground.

Notice the ring in the background; the battle their pales in comparison to the epic of Theros!

Vegas Photo's and pre-EPIC DIEM!

Hi Every body.

(A hi Dr Chad would be appreciated.)

Good news for Yugioh! Kev finally sent me the pictures. Unfortunately I can only post a few here because, well "What happens in Vegas..." That and I didn't burn the Place Down with the Hazy flames! We still have a Venue to play at, so Huzzah for that.

Here's the photo's, with witty captions:

The Dueling Grounds, note the Statue of "Utopia Ray"

Here's Kev with Yuma Tsukumo. Obviously Yuma's ego is hugely Inflated.

It's SRS business Guys, check out their Game Faces!

Do they get those shirts there, or do they buy them somewhere?

The Photo's were taken, and a custom token made immortalizing them through the ages is made... Well until the card disintegrates...

Okay, there is no need to mention the regular and random hi-jinx that happened on Saturday: If you don't know what I mean, get in there and experience it firsthand! So now let's Move on to EPIC DIEM!

EPIC DIEM is on Saturday, so Troy's only running the Yugioh tournaments in the Morning at the Card-House. But Constructed Yugioh Tournaments are happening at Epic Diem at 10:30am, and again at 4:30pm. The Vanguard has a constructed tournaments at 1:00

Magic Planeswalkers who heeded my advice and booked in for the Theros Pre-Release already have a free ticket, with only paying to compete. For those who haven't (poor sod), you need to pay for admission and entry, and the tourney times are: 11:00am, 3:00pm and 6:00pm at the times 

A set based on Greek Mythology; details about the set, and the EPIC DIEM day are here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.637577969620801.1073741838.444143605630906&type=1


See ya there :-)

I totally had an awesome title, but I misplaced it like Kev misplaced the Vegas photo's :0D

What's going on?

Good News: I'm starting back to Yugioh! I finally finished ham-fisting a bunch of cards into a deck-box rebuilding my "Hazy Flame BBQ" deck. All going well, this saturday is the day I burn the Card-House Down (figure of speech). How do you want your loss, char grilled or served as raw perfection? Joking aside, I missed the Yugioh, and while the MTG guys are great, it's like comparing a banana to a dog-toy steak... So different.

2ndly I want to get your opinion on something: I'd like to get a mini-series up and running for a "Yugioh IRL" on youtube, and I want to get some idea of how many of you guys want in, who'd you want to play the Protagonist (apart from yourself, popular vote gets it), and any ideas for plot-lines.

Also what skills do you guys have? I mean apart from strategic insight in card-games, encyclopedic knowledge of Anime/Manga and the ability to talk more trash then a politician, without the state-changing fallout?

One things for certain: I'm too sexy asymmetrical for the lens...

Oh! before I forget: As a Planeswalker, you out to get a pass for Epic Diem! I've been cautioned from saying that you'll probably see more Ass there than an Unhinged Pre-Release, so I will just say that Theros is going to be Legendary, and the rest of the convention almost as Mythic!

Later Guys.

Epic Diem

Greetings fellow Cardhousians.

What's everyone been up to? Your Feedback on the new look for the blog would be greatly appreciated.

I was hoping to get back to Yu-Gi-Oh on Saturday, but apparently I need to do something called "Voting" for the "National Election". I Finally finished adapting the deck, So all going well, the Saturday after.

I must admit: There comes a time in every basement dweller's Geeky/Nerdy life where we have to consider facing our worst enemy:

The Sun!

But will I we face it? (I need to remember that despite the consensus in my head, the world does not revolve around me, but my arch nemesis the Sun...)

Anyway the Theros Pre-Release coincides with Epic Diem (Big Moment) Saturday 21st at 9 am. This means that we fellow Planeswalkers have no choice but to leave the Realms of the Basement/the Card House.

Consider it an adventure: Bustling Crowds, Scantily Clad Cosplay Girls vying for our attention, fight sequences with boffers, unique Shinies trinkets to buy, and maybe, just maybe Victory at the Pre-Release!

Get ready by buying tickets from Kev, our friendly neighbourhood spiderman Purveyor of Win, and Book now for Theros!

Chad, fearing Sun's wrath...

NB: Still reading through the Theros Spoilers, I will post more about it when I know more.
