I'm thinking about going on Sunday, haven't played vintage in a while. Dustin Espersen says he is going also.

Hmmm. It's a one hour drive for me. Maybe.

I should be able to go and will try to make it.

There was absolutely nothing shady about the interaction between the two players. Brett explained how the two cards worked and his opponent didn't understand. The judge agreed with Brett's explanation and saw no issue with it. Short of explaining to his opponent that all he simply had to do was pay 1 mana and his spell would resolve, what should Brett have done instead? If Danny didn't understand he should have said so or asked the judge for help. Instead, he just put his Tinker in the graveyard and assumed that it was countered. This may sound a bit harsh, but you are not obligated to help someone understand how to play their cards correctly to beat you. When something happens in a game and I don't understand it, I call a judge and ask for help even if it's embarrassing to admit my ignorance. Personally, if I were Danny I would have used some cards that were lying around (or asked the judge for some) and put them down on the table with each card representing a copy of flusterstorm on the stack. Brett was able to do this in his head, Danny was not.

I'll try and go.

I will be in Disneyland, sorry

12/23 and 12/24 are sunday and monday, not saturday and sunday.

should be 12/22 and 12/23, i assume.

Can't make it to the vacaville one sadly. Have to help a friend move. There's a tournament for a Time Walk at GP Anaheim on the 26th if anyone hadn't noticed.

So, when is the vintage tournament resurgence in the bay area happening?

I live in the bay area and always carry a competitive vintage deck around with me to tournaments. Unfortunately, no one will ever play with me

I would be interested in attending any vintage tournaments that come up and could potentially convince 2-3 former vintage players to attend as well.

I might go to the one next weekend. I work M-F and my gf works Thurs-Sat, so Sunday is our only day off together and it's hard to go play Magic. I want to pick up some cards though, so I'll try and make it.

+1 going. 2 man tourney for duals.

RIP eudemonia vintage

Gonna show up for this one, web?

If anyone is thinking about it, myself and 1 other are definitely going..

I wish LSV, Web, and Fob would play in these.

how many people did you guys get? i'm from nor cal, might be fun to come down for one of these

15 people showed. me, ryan devine, josh utter leyton, and charles gordon split the top 4 (there was no top 8). $93 each in store credit.

i played blue/black/white tezz w/o tezz, ryan was playing some form of tezz but i'm not sure about the specifics, and charles and josh were playing TPS. there was actually a lot of TPS at the tournament, matt nass and some guy whose name I don't know were playing it as well. i played against charles/matt/josh and beat matt and josh with ethersworn canonist (added last minute due to how many TPS decks i saw before the tournament). there were 0 stax decks which was good because my deck was very vulnerable to it without trygon predators and my lack of relevant sideboard cards.

my only loss for the day was against charles gordon. charles beat me in game 3 of our match after my turn 1 ancestral into 0 force of wills. his turn 1 consisted of playing a mox, lotus petal, land, dark ritual, necro, time walk. he later told me that if i had a force of will there he would have been cold.

i had some strange cards in my deck.. i misdirected ancestral recall two times during the tournament! i had an ethersworn canonist out against TPS and they cast mystical tutor during their main phase to put ancestral on top. during my turn i demonic tutor for misdirection. they draw ancestral and cast it. i misdirect it and they can't do anything about it thanks to canonist. win!

no LSV/ochoa/fob/lotushead hopefully we get more people next month!

i guess i'll ask ryan tonight at the kennedy's draft when the next tournament is..

is the lotus tournament being pushed back...?

that video is so awesome lol

Is the lotus tournament still on?
 

<me> i can't make it to the t1 tournament this weekend at eudemonia
<ryan> there's a t1 tournament this weekend at eudemonia?
<me> uh yeah, it said so on TMD
<ryan> that's news to me!
<me> yeah, i thought it was weird that it wasn't on eudemonia's calendar
<ryan> i guess i should figure out what's going on with that
<me> def!

sounds like a communications problem somewhere

I was talking to Ryan Reynolds last night and it sounded like this tournament may not happen.. stay tuned

That pimp stax deck was mine I let Jonathan Leong borrow it for the day. Too bad I couldn't play in this..

I'm still running Ray Of Revelation over True Believer for better or for worse. I didn't have to play against any Oath all day, thankfully.

I was actually playing Fish.. I just broke out my Oath deck to play for fun in between rounds  when you saw me

In game 3,  why didn't TPS take the Lotus with Duress? Wouldn't that have kept the Oath player out of the game for a really long time?

Annul in Tezzeret?

I used to play vintage back in the mid 90s and remember having to deal with Brian Weismann and his "The Deck" at all of the local tournaments in the SF bay area. One of the coolest decks of all time, definitely. What is the difference between "Keeper" and "The Deck"? Aren't they the same thing?
