Just in case anyone thought they had escaped the horror once Lorwyn merfolk left the draft environment, I lost two games tonight to milling.

10:21 pm - Random deck thought
I'm wondering if a Zur the Enchanter deck might be playable in Shadowmoor type 2. Some white/blue/black enchantments that Zur can fetch:
Greater Auramancy (Note that this won't stop you from popping additional Auras on Zur)
Runed Halo
Steel of the Godhead (this one looks like a lot of fun on Zur...)
Prison Term
Bitterblossom
Declaration of Naught
Oblivion Ring
Daybreak Coronet (if we end up with enough Auras)
Porphyry Nodes
Temporal Isolation
Griffin Guide
Sacred Mesa
Pacifism
Pariah
Story Circle
There's also Idyllic Tutor available to dig up toolbox enchantments without Zur. I'm not sure how to make certain that the deck can run without Zur, but between Prison Term, Porphyry Nodes, Temporal Isolation, Pacifism, and Temporal Isolation, the deck has no shortage of ways to stall. Something like this might work:
Four-ofs:
4x Zur
4x Prison Term
4x Bitterblossom
4x Oblivion Ring
4x Temporal Isolation
4x Porphyry Nodes
4x Rune Snag
Toolbox:
1x Steel of the Godhead
2x Greater Auramancy
1x Runed Halo
1x Story Circle
1x Sacred Mesa
26x land
This is totally untested, and it's obviously designed to work against a creature-heavy environment, but creature-heavy seems like it will be the rule for a while. The lack of non-Zur win conditions may be a problem, of course. The sideboard can be almost anything; Raking Canopy would be cute, but probably not really playable.

If anyone comes across a green windbreaker with an umbrella in the pocket, could you please let me know? I would also appreciate it if you'd hang on to it for me until I'm next in town...

I'm back from Columbus, and off to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. I'm planning to use the UC as a gathering point. If there are any specific games people want me to bring, leave a comment.

Looks like I'll be at summer nationals in Vegas after all - Jeff, Pat, Cristal, and I just won the D19 B GNT finals today. And now, I'm off to Columbus to play games for a week.

Does anyone know where I can get instant yeast up here? I tried Safeway, Fred Meyer, and Ballard Market today with no luck.

04:10 pm - Counting in Tichu
I can count a bridge hand reasonably well, but Tichu has always defeated me - I can track specials, aces, and kings, but I have trouble going much below that routinely. This post seems to offer advice that gives some hope on tracking bombs, though, which should be easier to handle.
