Awesome tournament, make sure there are many more! All of my opponents were friendly and my crew had a great time.

Hey, my name is Tom. I'm married which is awesome.  I live in Columbia, Maryland.  I play ice hockey in two coed adult leagues with my wife.  I've been playing this crazy card game for half my life now on and off depending on my mood (13 of 26 years).  I used to play competitive Type II almost every weekend and backed down to just big events while in college.  I pretty much stopped seriously playing and collecting after Invasion block, which is when I moved to occasionally playing extended.  Once the bulk of my collection rotated out of extended I switched to Legacy and have been primarily there since. Getting more and more into Vintage and have been making a slow effort to acquire power and associated Vintage cards not legal in Legacy. I've played in 2 Star City sponsored events performing as well as you would expect by my noob status.  Recently I've been keeping up with the vintage scene much more and actually practicing.  I have a penchant for creatureless decks which leads me towards prison, combo, or control decks most of the time.  I also tend to play to beat the best deck rather than playing 'the best deck'. My deckbuilding style is what I would call 'pure'.  I tend to not include cards in my lists that are situationally valuable. I tend to play a slow cautious style rather than 'going for it', which sometimes pays off and other times doesn't.

Favorite Decks
Type II: I took a Creatureless ankh of mishra / Parallax Tide deck to regionals when Fires/Haups/Nether Spirit Control was big and it was awesome
Extended: Survival, recur style and a Smokestack / Trinisphere / Geddon deck
Legacy: Smokestacks (with humility) and Fetchland Tendrils
Vintage: No clear winner here yet, though storm calls me. Currently playing Drain Tendrils
