This is the story on How I met Dan Frazier, yesterday in Zaragoza (Where? Yes, Zaragoza). If you aren’t familiar with Dan Frazier, let me tell you that he’s the artist that drew the first Moxen. Well, he’s actually drawn lot more cards, including the 12% of the initial Alpha collection. You can check the full list of his artwork for WotC here and his website here.

So, everything started back in this year’s GP Madrid when we saw Jose “El Cubano” giving some fliers away. In those fliers it said something about a couple of tournaments and, surprisingly, that Dan Frazier was the guest artist at the event.

Arnau, Roger, Edu and I started to organize the trip to Zaragoza, and early in the morning our pimp ride started!

This was some of our stuff to be signed before we actually met Dan:

(Sorry for the bad quality of the picture)

It was really needed an Alpha/Beta P9 in order to get to travel with Arnau’s Mercedes

Anyways, once we arrived at Freakland Games in Zaragoza we discovered that Albert & Pedro and Paco and his girlfriend were faster than us, so we weren’t actually the first ones at the queue But that wasn’t the issue, as we had plenty of time to talk with Dan as there wasn’t that many people there in the end.

When Dan realized of Roger’s presence at the queue, his wife Cathy gave Roger a folder and when he opened it we were all impressed to find out that Dan Frazier had drawn a portrait of Roger wearing the harlequin hat from Jester’s Cap. Meet the IMPRESSIVE Roger’s Cap!

I can’t wait to see a full-res scan of the drawing!

This is my personal goodie bag for the day:

Let’s havea a closer look at everything

While in Freakland we played some Vintage games, enjoyed the awesome environment and had fun, lots of fun!

Around 18:45 we decided to go back to Barcelona because we still had something very important to do: Watch the FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid game of the millenium! If you are a soccer fan, then I’m sure you know that the spanish soccer league is incredibly crazy right now. I just have a picture to illustrate how the game went:

I’ll remember this day my whole life, for being the day I met Dan Frazier, having an excellent day with my friends, and Barça winning 0-2 against Real Madrid. Hope you guys liked the report.

Ayer salía publicada la entrevista que, Camilo del blog Random South Player, me realizó hace unos días. Para quienes no conozcan RSP, decir que es la meca de la salsa magiquera (con nuestro permiso, obv xD), propiedad de unos sureños (.AND) y altamente recomendable para estar al día de todos los líos que suceden en el mundillo. Viene a ser como el “Qué me dices!” en formato blog y sobre Magic. Os dejo con el enlace para que podáis disfrutar de la entrevista:

Tal y como os prometí, aquí os dejo el análisis “play-by-play” de las 3 rondas que jugué el pasado Sábado en el torneo de Legacy de la tienda Black Lotus. Decir que, para intentar optimizar mis resultados, opté por jugar combo llevando una adaptación de mi iPop Negation. La lista que utilicé fue la siguiente:

TP iPop Negation v.2: (60)
4 Duress
4 Pact of Negation
4 Infernal Tutor
4 Brainstorm
4 Dark Ritual
4 Cabal Ritual
4 Lotus Petal
4 Lion’s Eye Diamond
3 Ponder
2 Ill-Gotten Gains
2 Orim’s Chant
2 Tendrils of Agony
2 Mystical Tutor
1 Mox Diamond
1 Chrome Mox
1 Ad Nauseam
1 Repeal
4 Polluted Delta
2 Flooded Strand
3 Underground Sea
1 Tundra
1 Scrubland
1 Swamp
1 Island

La inclusión del Nauseam parecía obvia en este deck. El Nauseam es una manera alternativa de matar además de las 2 existentes: Guerra de Counters (con Duress y pactos de por medio) para generar storm + Tendrils, y la clásica (pero GYdependiente) de los 2 LED + Infernal Tutor.

A continuación os pongo cómo fueron las 3 rondas:
