1  Eternal Formats / Global Vintage Tournament Reports and Results / Re: [Report] Team Ogre vs Springfield (ICON) 9-10-05 on: September 14, 2005, 10:19:27 pm
-Only 2 prizes! Its pretty pathetic to top 8 a 30+ person tournament and go home w nothing. I'm not sure how the finances of Icon were arranged, since we paid at the door to enter the convention itself and then there was no extra cost to enter the tournament. In the future I would recommend a direct payment system so that the vintage organizers have appropriate funds for prize support. We had assumed there would at least be kamigawa packs or something for 3-8. I probably wouldnt have encouraged so many people to come if I had known the prizes were so bare.

-Vampire karaoke.

Both tournaments have only prizes for first and second was pretty terrible I got top eight in both tournaments and have nothing to show for it. Also, I don't know if you guys were there in time for it, but the LAN stuff had terribly loud bass playing through most of the 1.5 tournament. I think the best part of all of it for me was having a decent amount of people show up for the type 1 and hardly any of them were casual players, like you would normally expect. Well, thanks everyone for coming to Springfield.

Two words for Drain and Pithing Needle: Joblin Welder.

I won a round at Vroman's through first turn Needle all three games.


He's right I was the one who played those Needles, and they didn't do a whole lot to slow him down. The deck is incredible and with the new addition of Living Wish has alot of versatility.

My problem with putting the Lotus in the deck is in the fact that you have to sacrifice it. Against Welders, with the original list you don't have any artifacts that go to the graveyard, so it keeps them from using them to mess with your stuff. Which means it makes it a lot tougher for them to get rid of your null rod. By adding the Lotus you are giving them something to weld out Null Rod for. Null Rod is usually game against decks like Control Slaver, so I personally wouldn't want to run the risk of having it welded out.
