Hi,

I was going over the World Championship 2010 deck-lists at www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_nrep.asp , and I found a handful of typo's and similar mistakes. It was useful to me to make a note of them. On the off-chance that this is useful to someone, I'm posting them here as an errata (unofficial).

The oddest ones were "Osfender Hold", which I took to mean "Defender of the Hold", and "High Elf Diadem", which I took to mean "High Elf's Disdain ".

Looks like someone at FFG got a little confused or got their typing fingers in a twist.

Here it is then:

--------------------------------------------
#1, Tim Lyons, Dwarf solo
--------------------------------------------
Demolition -> Demolition!
Grudge Bearer -> Grudgebearer
Long Beards -> Longbeards

--------------------------------------------
#2, Paul Bittner, Dwarf with High Elf
--------------------------------------------
Alliance (Dwarf/High Elf) -> Dwarf/High Elf Alliance
Armory -> Armoury
High Elf Diadem -> High Elf's Disdain

--------------------------------------------
#3, Garett Brett, Dwarf with High Elf and Empire
--------------------------------------------
Innovate -> Innovation
Demolition -> Demolition!
Alliance (Dwarf/High Elf) -> Dwarf/High Elf Alliance

--------------------------------------------
#4, Brian Garber, Dwarf solo
--------------------------------------------
Grudge Bearer -> Grudgebearer

--------------------------------------------
#5, Matthew Ley, Dwarf with Empire
--------------------------------------------
Demolition -> Demolition!
Durgnar Bold -> Durgnar the Bold
Gurni Thor -> Gurni Thorgrimson
Long Beards -> Longbeards
Osfender Hold -> Defender of the Hold

--------------------------------------------
#6, Gio Crawford (Deck built by Tony DuLac), Dwarf with Empire
--------------------------------------------
Demolition -> Demolition!
Long Beards -> Longbeards

--------------------------------------------
#7, Matt Kohls, Dwarf with High Elf
--------------------------------------------
Alliance (Dwarf/High Elf) -> Dwarf/High Elf Alliance

--------------------------------------------
#8, Chris Gauer, Empire with Dwarf
--------------------------------------------
No errata

Diadem and Osfender look intersting.
Perhaps a bad OCR did it. xD

Yeah. Could be.

At least Diadem is a real word. Maybe we could make up a meaning for Osfender... The part of a car that's used to prevent damage when bumping into ostriches?

You've certainly done a number on our top 8 decklists , I particularly like your picture based deckbox thing that shows I have 25 unique cards and a larger deck than all of my top 8 peers mwahahaha, who needs 50 card decks -> they lack variety!

On a serious note, I'm pretty sure that most/all of the 'errata' you note in this thread are due to 'handwriting interpretation errors', the decklists submitted were done in hand and I'm pretty sure I did the bracketed Alliance thing, forgot an 'ion', and an ! too, crazy I know. I did get the Infiltrating thing right though ^^

Hi,

So, you must be Brett then (assuming Garrett is your surname?). Let me offer you congratulations on your #3 ranking in the World Tournament. It must have been quite a challenge.

I'm glad you like the entries I made on Deckbox. I found it a really useful exercise in getting my head inside those top-8 decks, and did indeed notice that yours was larger than the others :-) Good for you!

I found that someone else on Decklist had put up the European champtionship decklists, so I've copied them into my deck-lists area (although I've not checked them against the official decklists yet (assuming that they are on the web somewhere)).

I kinda guessed that the mistakes had come from hand-written deck lists (which I'm guessing, had to be submitted by each entrant) and the subsequent transcribing to the FFG webpage.

Anyhow, thanks for your post. It makes it all worth while (it took quite a few hours to get all those decks into Deckbox).

Cheers,
Toastcrumbs.
