His opponents will concentrate on his game then looks up and get blinded by bright red. Your opponent will then accidently drop his hand which reveals a cryptic command. You then play around it by leaving one mana for the gutteral response you accidently put maindeck.
He should put a rotten fish in his the same sweater that he won his PTQ. This way it will distract whoever he plays.
That rap was hysterical. Where did you find that? I would love to add it to my song collection so I can laugh whenever it comes up. Could you point me in that direction?
i think it shouldnt just be a a standard solid colour sweater...but a Bright Red hand knit sweater with a pure white snowman on it (with a tophat ofcourse). Not to blind your opponent ofcourse but more to just confust them. While they should be thinking "should i spell stutter that or cryptic command it?" they'll be thinking "should i spell stutter...why is he wearing a christmas sweater??? and it that snowman watching me *moves head arround* it's eyes are following me...."
and as for my first game of magic it was after buying a bulk of 6th ed commons and uncommons off a friend and build a white tribal griffin deck...it was terrible against his vintage rat tribal deck (which had marrowgnawer in it). We were even playing in at a table in a mall foodcourt.

gavin should somehow find a hand made sweater that has a brilliant black background and a giant flamming skull eating kithkin, merfolk, treefolk, and 'lark, with the words" CRACK A JOKE ABOUT FAERIES NOW, HONKEY!" in huge letters across the neck.
failing that, something with flowers would be more than aptly appropriate. they would be so distracted by the beautiful arrangement that they couldn't help be feel the need to sniff him compulsively, just to see if he's real.
let's see...hmm. I remember my first game of magic fairly well, because it was against my father.
dad always was looking to try new things, and had already dragged me into his world of comic books and boardgames. there were many nights we'd stay up playing everything from Axis and Allies to risk. one night I came home to find him and his best friend sitting at a table, playing what I thought was poker.
...except the cards weren't aces and the like, but were called off the wall things like Mox pearl and Fastbond. I politely asked them to show me how to play, and innocently enough, they obliged.
it was at this point that I really should have remembered just how competitive my father was. this was the same man that lied christmas morning about knowing how to play Stratego. the closest thing I can actually akin that first game to is probably assault in the most violent way possible. he said the same thing I found people using the 'lark combo and Faeries said years later after absolutely making me look like a noob:
"good game".
and he did it with a smirk on his face, too.
I never forgot that.

Thanks, Heroes of The Planes! You guys are great!

"You heard it here folks:
Anyone who disagrees with "Jack from NC" is an idiot."-The Dead Weatherman
i seem to recall that the magic behind gavin's sweater was that it was worn over the shoulders with the sleeves knotted in front. with this in mind i would like to see something that accentuates the fashion. how about something with two different colored sleeves? say sparkly black and bright neon blue *ahem faeries ahem*?
...
the first game that i played was against my friend, who's mom had purchased us each a revised starter deck. we shuffled up and were on our way. i proceeded to rock my friend's socks once i got out my aladdin's lamp. since x can be any amount i decided it would be the number of cards left in my library. each turn i would look through my entire library, chose a card, put it on top of my library and draw it. needless to say, i finished him off pretty quickly.
Great show guys.
The earliest game of magic I can remember must have been from about 10 years ago (about half my lifetime) ago when I was playing at Boy Scout camp. I was playing a red deck whose sole goal was to throw as much burn as possible at my opponents head. I made sure not to waste any of my burn by killing my opponents creatures, since I figured all I have to do is kill him. Then I realized I was at about 5 life with _no_ board position facing down a slew of creatures on my opponents side. Oh how one learns.
As far as sweaters for Gavin, I would suggest he wear the Mr. Rogers sweater, so he can lure his opponent into a false sense of security.
The red sweater might be a good idea because psychologically it makes your opponent think red=aggressive=beatdown. It depends if you want to play faeries as more of a control or an aggro deck. This is for the same reason that you want to use red sleeves on your blue control decks.
Of course, now I might have to outthink my opponents. To win a PTQ, the player must have been exceptionally strong, so it's possible that he's relying on his own strength to save him. But, to know this information, he would have had to listened to MTGcast and read the forums, so he must have been very wise. And so, if I play against a wise opponent, I must wear a sweater that matches my deck style. But, if they were wise by listening and reading, then they must have studied. And in studying, they must have clearly learned that Magic players were mortal, so I clearly cannot choose the deck-matching sweater in front of me.
....or you just wear a spiral-ing tie-dye pink-violet combination sweater, because people would think "WTF?" when they see it and become hypnotized into losing.....
Obviously you should make a Cardboard Carapace out of Blowfly Infestations from listeners. You would be summoning the power of MTGCast to defeat your opponents.

you sir need to get your roof fixed.
here's a cat that will do so.
I'm just going to quote what I said before, in the MTGcast 111 thread.

The question of what Gavin should wear is indeed a difficult one...

Hey, great show as always guys. I think that Gavin should wear a sweatshirt made out of that sweet Japanese material that makes you psudo-invisible. That way, people behind him don't have to lean over his shoulder to see how the game is going, they just look right through him!
Crazy ideas aside, I remember in one of my first magic games, my friend (who was also new to the game, and not particularly familiar with the mana pool), tapped his Golgari Signet, and instead of making mana, he reached over and grabbed a swamp and a forest, and added them to his stack of lands. It was only after a few months that I realized that that was not a correct play, but it sure did make his Corrupt huge. This was also in the time where games took a good 1-2 hours, just because of the speed of both of our 150 card piles of commons and lands that we called decks.
After I made my last post, I searched for 45 minutes to try and find Next Level sweatshirts like Chapin and Fabiano had at Nationals. Unfortunately, while I did find the clothing brand Next Level Apparel, I couldn't find the sweatshirts. But those would be pretty awesome.
Did you ever figure out what was happening to the cat?
Anyways, Gavin should wear a sweater with a nice model in a skimpy fairy dress to distract his opponents.
As for my first MtG "game", it was many years ago, while I was waiting for a friend in his house, and someone else was waiting for him, and he decided to try to teach me MtG with a B Invasion deck, at that moment, the game seemed too complicated, and didn't catch my attention.
I'll never forget my first game of Magic; it was at Goshen Scout Reservation (which was recently in the news because several boy scouts there got E.coli). I saw two counselors playing a strang cool card game a few days earlier, so that day I asked one of them if I could play. He handed me a god awful mono red kamigawa deck, which was full of samurai and akki, to play against his blue artifact affinity deck featuring Myr Enforcer, Frogmite, , Broodstar, and such.
Then he taught me the basics of Mtg but we proceeded to play "speedmana" (I now realize that he couldn't have won without speed cause his deck was horribly slow and poor), where you drop down all the lands in your opening hand and draw until you have 7 again, then repeat until your hand contains no lands. Needless to say, he whopped me. I ended up buying that monored deck for $20 because I was young, excited, and stupid. It has haunted me since... but at least it got me into magic.
i dont think he should wear a sweater.. or any shirt, that way his awesome six pac.. or lack of one, would distract his opponent enough for the future pt berlin champ to win
or atleast make his opponent puke onto their deck thereby marking the cards and getting them DQed.
