1  Eternal Formats / Global Vintage Tournament Reports and Results / Re: Vintage at Hi Score North Saint Paul, MN for a Mishra's Workshop 10/18/14 on: October 27, 2014, 02:24:15 pm
Yeah Jeff my mana crypt rolls were pretty bonkers.  The funny part is that Derek was the only one who actually typed out his deck list and actually typed that he had 17 cards in his sideboard.  There will definitely be deck lists for events like this in the future I would imagine. 

Yeah the infect decks had power and you get to play mental misstep too which helps against removal as well, which isn't that prevalent either.
2  Eternal Formats / Global Vintage Tournament Reports and Results / Vintage at Hi Score North Saint Paul, MN for a Mishra's Workshop 10/18/14 on: October 23, 2014, 10:39:09 pm
This past weekend we had 20 people come out to Hi Score in North Saint Paul to play Vintage for a Mishra's Workshop.  The tournament was run well by Hi Score as usual and it was awesome to have the numbers we did even though we were hoping to break 30. Derek Estelle ended up taking first place, but it was discovered after the tournament that he had a 17 card sideboard according to his decklist.   When asked about it Derek made no effort to explain why that was and has been impossible to get a hold of to tell his side of the story.  This was not discovered until the day after the tournament and Derek has left the Minnesota vintage facebook group and actually deleted his facebook altogether and is still not responding to any form of contact.  It has come to our attention that this is not the first time Derek has cheated or stolen from the magic community.  This leads us in the Minnesota vintage community to believe that he cheated, whether it was deliberate or not makes no difference.  Unfortunately the Workshop will probably not be recovered and given to the runner up.  This is a travesty and measures will be taken to make sure this does not happen again at any vintage tournament in the Twin Cities area as this is unacceptable behavior.  I still feel that posting the top 4 decklists is helpful information for the community at large as the other decks in the top 4 are interesting, so I will do so, but will not post Derek’s sb. We had 5 rounds of swiss with a cut to Top 4.  Here is the metagame breakdown

5  Eternal Formats / Eternal Article Discussion / Vintage Quiet Speculation Articles on: August 06, 2014, 10:27:56 am
I realized that I had been writing vintage articles for Quiet Speculation for about a month now and none of my articles had been posted here.  I was brought onto QS to write about vintage for a set period of time and then my position would be reevaluated from there.  My month is almost up, I have one article left to write, and I thought this would be a great forum to help the editor to decide whether or not I will continue writing for them.  So please read what you can as some are free and others are not.  Also just one detail, I am not being paid to write for them so please do not think that if you give me negative feedback you might be costing me some sort of income.  This is something I have enjoyed doing, but the content needs to meet a certain standard and if this community does not approve I shouldn't continue writing.  So please read and enjoy!

Oh that's awesome!  I lived in Fargo for a year about 3 years ago and missed playing vintage while I was there, too bad we never ran into each other.  We just had 14 people for this past Saturday, which was great.  If you don't mind me asking, what would get you to make the drive?

Really depends. If there isn't a major event like a ptq like 15-20. If so like 8-10

Another advantage that Aegis of the Gods has over True Believer that should be noted is that you can target yourself with Ancestral Recall with Aegis in play, but not True Believer.  Making 4-color humans another option as well as junk.

Yeah ever since vintage champs people have caught the bug big time.  The turnouts have been good despite sketchy weather so can't wait to see how things go when the snow goes away, if ever.

22  Eternal Formats / Global Vintage Tournament Reports and Results / Vintage at Hi Score for a Mox Jet Top 8 Decklists 1/18/14 on: January 21, 2014, 07:35:57 pm
Hi Score Video Games in North Saint Paul, MN hosted it's second big vintage tournament with a Mox Jet for first place.  24 brave participants came out to battle for the mox.  There could have easily been 30+ people if the weather and the roads were better, but with 24 that made for 5 rounds of swiss with a cut to Top 8.  The metagame had a lot less Workshops then the previous tournament.  There were plenty of blue decks of all varieties, 2 dredge decks and various combo decks, such as burning oath, storm and mono blue belcher. 

Congratulations to Daniel Weiser on winning the Mox Jet and thanks to all who came out and made this tournament a great experience and thank you to Steven Farkas for judging the event.

1. Twin Cities, MN

2. Would be willing to drive 2-4 hours

3. Vintage Staples, not necessarily power, but mana drains, Library, Beta Demonic Tutors, Foils, etc. would be awesome.

4. Clean bathroom, places to eat nearby, heat (it is the midwest), available supplies for sale i.e. cards, sleeves, etc.

5. I personally would not need any proxies.

     Monster Den held an unlimited proxy vintage tournament in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 19th, 2013 with 4 rounds of Swiss with a cut to Top 4.  First prize was awarded a choice between an unlimited Badlands or an unlimited Plateau with second place receiving the unchosen dual land.  We had 11 players in attendance and the metagame was, once again, quite eclectic.  It was especially different from last month, in which 30% of the metagame was workshop decks, and this month having none in attendance.  The two finalists split the prizes.

Definitely going to be there!  The last tournament had a great turnout and I hope we can repeat.  The competition and the atmosphere were both great.

Hey Scott.

Thanks for posting some lists.

I went to this event.  It was a lot of fun.  I was happy to see that it was unlimited proxy.   It looked like most of the people there took advantage of this, and the event probably wasn't  possible without unlimited proxy.  During my first round with Eric, store employee (iirc), I asked him if Jason was going to do more Vintage tournaments and he said that we might do monthly events again.  That would be just swell.

Totally blind to the metagame, I played a pretty typical Martello list.  I forced my brother to do the same.  My friend Doug, who had never been to a Vintage tournament before played Tyrant Oath (was actually 1 tyrant, 1 griselbrand, 1 BSC) and had a blast.  The three of us all went 3-2. 

My brother made top 8 on tiebreakers, which was nice.  My parting words as we got to the store were "side out chalice versus Dredge."   Sure enough, game 2 of the top 8 he drops Chalice for 1 then proceeds to draw Grafdiggers on the next turn.  >.<  Oh well.

Jeff

Jeff,
     Thank you so much for replying and helping correct the metagame breakdown.  I was trying to remember the decks from memory so I am not surprised a missed one.    I had a ton of fun at the event and it was great to see so many people from out of town and hopefully with such a great turnout, Jason will decide to do this monthly because I love vintage and it is always a good time for sure.  I also think that the difference was that the event was posted on TMD, whereas the last couple of vintage events were not, so hopefully lesson learned.
30  Eternal Formats / Global Vintage Tournament Reports and Results / Monster Den Vintage- Dec. 1- Top 4 Decklists and Metagame Breakdown on: December 07, 2012, 12:24:00 am
Monster Den held a Vintage tournament on December 1st in St. Paul, MN, there were 20 participants (great turnout, unlimited proxies) with five rounds of swiss and a cut to the Top 8 and prizes for Top 4.  3rd and 4th place got packs while first place got a Revised Underground Sea and 2nd place got their choice of either a revised Taiga or a revised Badlands.  The Top 2 split prizes.  Even though there were a lot of Workshop decks there was a good mix among the other decks and many of the decks in the format were represented.
