Gencon was an amazing event! This was my first Gencon, first large tournament judge responsibilities, and I was pleasantly surprised with how everything was organized and handled by everyone involved!
Judges for both sides, TCG and Minis were awesome, professional, courteous, and did everything they could to ensure everyone had a great time. Even when things went haywire with the Emergency Alarm Evacuation situation, everyone handled themselves professionally. Speaking of, everyone from PES, UDE, and the judges handled that situations tremendously well, considering how chaotic it could have been. To have everyone back into the UDE area and playing within an hour was a wonder!
It was a pleasure to meet everyone in person this week and I hope Worlds is just as fun! I plan on being there of course as it's my hometown here, but hope to be judging again as well too!
I think the most interesting topic of discussion all week was "Why is Mortimer so OP?" Everyone was saying that it should be an action to use his teleport, not an instant, or that he should be higher honor or something... me personally, I can see his power, but I think it's the Demonology thing that pushes him into the "ZOMG" category, being as powerful as he is as a mini stand alone, but then getting to throw "Dirty Felguards" on the table as Matt Whaite called his is the thing that makes him so amazing to me.
Still, as OP as some think he is, Mike and Mike proved that Vashj is still capable of taking him down to get to the finals.
Oh, and Siggie... I will get that "eeee" on tape sooner or later :-) Thanks for all your support and lead judging, it was great meeting you and the fellow judges in person and can't wait to reconnect at World's with everyone again!
Now... can I protect that AOE or what? (Most asked question of the tournament, hands down)
