Written by After spending basically an entire day in airports I’m finally back from my hometown of Chicago. First, the good news: Chicago was amazing as ever. After moving to Florida a few years ago, any chance I have to spend in the place of my birth I will gratefully take. I spent a lot of time with friends, ate at Jim’s Original Polish and Hotdogs, had Joy Yee in Chinatown, amazing Italian Beef from Portillos, had a Chicago Mix from Garrett’s Popcorn, fantastically famous Filipino breakfast at Uncle Mike’s Place, oh yeah, and I got to see my hometown team The Chicago Bears play the AFC’s #1 team The Houston Texans. I’ve been home a number of times but this time was a little different. I had a chance to play at the Grand Prix.

StarCityGames Open: Orlando – Legacy Report
Written by 
On Sunday in the Legacy Open, only myself and Bryan Elliot played out of the Average Joes team. I convinced Bryan to run a Hypergenesis deck that made top 16 at another SCG Open (decklist here) while I went with arguably the top deck, RUG Delver. He did some minor fish bowling of the deck before he was hooked. I typically run EsperBlade but for once I chose to try something new.
StarCityGames Open: Orlando – Standard Report
Average Joes made a good showing this past weekend in Orlando at the StarCityGames Open Series in both Standard and Legacy. We had 3 people cash between both events with Bruce Strong making Top 8 in the Standard portion! Most of our team ran a R/G Wolf Run Ramp list that we had been working on for a few weeks, adding in some new cards from Avacyn Restored and tweaking the sideboard. The base list came from Roy Ochoa who had been cashing in some tournaments with a similar list. The other members that didn’t run the WRR list chose to run either a home brew list or an archetype stock list. Read on for a breakdown of the people that cashed, what list they ran, and our Wolf Run list that we had been working on.
