How did you become interested in classic in the first place?
When I got back into Magic around M10, I wanted to play with all the cards I knew from the Revised era. When I found out about all the broken plays competitive decks could pull off, I was hooked.
If you could play any classic deck what would it be?
I just wish I was better at innovating. My rouge decks never work out, and when the guys who are better at it come up with something new, their idea seems so obvious... why didn't I try that!?
What is your favorite MTGO accomplishment whether it relates to tournament play, deck innovation or community involvement?
The DE where I went 4-0 without losing a game. Every opener was a god-hand with a turn 1 or 2 win. The shuffler works!

You guys have far more confidence in me than I do. I think I would have an edge in say a 10 match series, but I'm pretty worried about a single best 2 out of 3.
I do think this is a case of where knowing the specifics of his deck is a HUGE advantage for me. I think if I didn't know I was up against storm game 1 and didn't know the specifics, it would be fairly close to 50/50 or at least a better matchup for him. Since I have that information, I can more aggressively mulligan or keep a hand that I wouldn't otherwise keep since its good against his deck.
Scavenging Ooze is situationally great against dredge, as they generally don't have an answer for it. It's too slow most of the time, but it does give you a chance game 1 against dredge, especially on the play. Turn 1 Mana dork, turn 2 Ooze + wasteland, and then you pretty much just win after that. It involves a great draw, but it does give you a better shot against dredge game 1 than most decks. Even if you don't have a wasteland and can remove a creature from their GY you are in decent shape.
Also, LordSapphire and myself will be playing sometime this weekend, once we have an official time I will let you guys know.
Charles is right: Spell Burst is good! It definitely took me by surprise! Stay tuned for my match videos.
charles is kind of a d@#$, no?
Geese, we thought Charles was a real bright spot this week. Kinda of reminded us of when the Hammer was the straw stirring the drink.
I gotta tell you GB, I was floored when I saw you get a memnite countered with a Spell Burst. One of the craziest things I have seen in my Classic career.
By "We" I assume you meant "me", Andy. Charles is a real character and I'd like to STP his face.
He blew a kiss at Josh after the podcast too...
I think i know who charles is, at least when ever i heard him i thought of F.U.R.
