1  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / The Official Worlds T1 Side Event Tournament Report Thread on: September 11, 2004, 04:21:09 am
This is my first post so bear with me if i mess this up.  I just thought I would add my comments on the Vintage tournament at Worlds.  I've been playing for a long time at C&J's and it was great to see Jeff sponsor such a large tournament.  I was impressed with the over all power level and variety of decks that showed up.  I had expected a sea of Fish for all the budget players.  
I wish I took notes on the matches i had, but i can supply a glimpse of what I rememeber.  No suprise to any who know me, I brought madness(it's almost foiled out now so I've got the bling).  I tweaked it to carry the Tinker/ Collosus combo prior to the start and saw my tinkers get countered and my successful Collosus get welded back in for the mox i sacrificed.  I was not impressed and am back with the old Circular Logic build.  
I drew with Fish with savage 4/4 tramplers being hard cast in the last game and running out of time.  
I beat a Mask deck with my main deck tech of two Rack and Ruins.  He attacks with two 12/12 tramplers and I 2 for 1 for the win.  He forgot what turn it was in the next game and welds during his turn to give me a free turn of no welder tricks for the match win.
I beat another fish deck running Flying Men the way my deck is supposed to.  
My only loss was a heartbreaker to an early tinkered 7/10 with FoW back-up for my Artifact Mutation and next game another  early 7/10 off a Welder.  I just can't deal with a huge guy that eats my land.  
I then played a really cool Australian guy who conceded the last game of our match to me when he could have stalled.  His mono blue with main deck back to basics was not good for my Bazaars.
I then played David Hernandez and I just remeber that I had really good draws and it didn't seem like his deck produced for him.  I owed him for the beatings he gave me at the last tournament I saw him at down south anyway Smile  
The final match I played was with a guy from Europe who was running some kind of u/r scepter deck.  He kept burning my little guys but the 4/4's did their thing. In the last game, a timely Strip Mine for for his only Island and a Rack and Ruin for his Saphire and my Jet kept him from playing all the good blue in his hand. He was upset and acted like a jerk so i was happy he lost.  
In the end I was 5-1-1 and ended in 9th.  I would have liked to play for all the goodies Jeff put up as prizes, but I was happy with my performance and that of my oh so shiny g/u/r Madness deck.


Thanks to everyone who played and made staying up till 5 AM almost worth it.  And props to Wizards for finding a site in San Francisco with FREE PARKING.  The ladies at the "club" were very happy with all the dollar bills I saved on parking.
