I has a question: I've always thought that this tourney was Ons-Mir standard, so how is Duress legal? I mean, 8th Ed came out before Mirrodin, so Duress should have phased.

I still wonder if Tynion could have been a rich billionaire if he instead decided to sell cheap lunch meat with his friends...would he have ever come to MDV? Would he have stayed at all?! Who knows?!

Still a good story, I can't remember which part was my favorite though.

Heh. You sound like some sports commenter in those last lines. "Who is the opponent, Pat?"

Another solid installment.
It's good to see that you finally lose one round.
That makes it more tangible and real.
I need another, now.

It is quite possible that it was Blackmail instead of Duress... not sure. All those days of getting Duressed kind of blurs the mind as to when exactly it all was happening Thank God Cabal Therapy had rotated by then.. nasty discard time period there...

Yeah, this was pretty good. I notice a bit of "who is" instead of "who's", which makes it a little clunky at times, but since it's technically grammatically correct, I can't fault you for that. Nj.
