Well, I made it past top 4 today. Not only that, but I did it with my favorite deck Combative Humans (modified slightly). In the end Hampus Eriksson claimed the last Origins qualifier after 2 great games.
Even though I didn’t qualify at Origins, it was still an excellent time. There were a lot of great people and a lot of great games of Epic. I learned a lot from the 4 qualifiers, and I have a bunch of new Epic articles I plan on writing (in addition to the ones I planned before Origins). In addition, I finally bought my Gen Con badge and signed up for the Thursday Limited Qualifier.
Overall, the Epic Qualifiers were an excellent experience with an excellent game and excellent players.

Congratulations Hampus Eriksson on qualifying for Worlds. It was a pleasure playing against you in the finals. Especially since I can now say I’ve dropped double Markus, Watch Captain with loyalty to a Psionic Assault (and still lost).
Sad to hear you didn’t qualify, but glad you had fun. It was very nice meeting you and I look forward to seeing you at Gencon! I can’t wait to read your articles powered by all your Origins experience.
I had a lot of fun because the people I played and talked about Epic with, like yourself, were great. Looking forward to seeing you at Gencon, and I’ll be putting out a rough outline of a bunch of articles I plan to right soon. I’m also working on a Spawning Demon deck and more Epic puzzles.
