Looking forward to this event as always.  I have to ask, what exactly can we expect from these special holiday Myriad Games Mana Cookies.  The suspense is killing me. 

[Myriad Games]

The mana cookies will have to be a surprise. We're finalizing the designs this week and preparing them for Saturday's event.

Looking forward to another great tournament!

Also, just a note that the first tournament at Myriad for our 2007 season will take place on January 6th. We've hosted one Vintage tournament a month for all of 2006 and we look forward to continuing into the future.

Just a quick report this time.  I ran the same gifts list as last time. 

Round 1 Gifts - L - I lose after having ancestral misdirected in both losing games. 
Round 2 Bomberman - W - I win turn 3 game one.  Game 2 morph beats get me down to 5 before I combo off.
Round 3 Bomberman - W-  I win in 2 games again.  This match is very much in Gifts favor. 
Round 4 Goblins - W- I win game one after a slow start with Vial and little else.  Game 2 I drain something 3 turns in a row and win off a huge will.
Round 5 TMWA - W - I win game one early with Drain back up.  Game 2 I let 2 Seeks resolve, and then kill with a tendrils for 28.
Round 6 Gifts - ID - I'm able to draw in as the 4th seed.

Top 8 Control Slaver - L - I'm very happy to play CS as it's so much in Gift's favor.  I win game one after Misdirecting Ancestral in what was basically a land slide.  Game 2 I let a welder resolve, planning to win on my next turn.  I lose focus and ancestral at the end of his turn using my Underground Sea instead of my Volcanic Island.  I'm unable to use the Vamp that was in my hand to get Will, so I threw that one away.  I'm pretty disappointed at myself, and do not recover mentally.  I mis-sideboard and play poorly in game 3 while my opponent held it together.  I was less than pleased with my inability to both play better and recover mentally from mistakes.  I will certainly learn from this tournament much more than if I had not made those mistakes.  I'm looking forward to a huge year for Vintage in Magic in New England.  Thanks to Dan and everyone at Myriad for running some of the best tournaments around.
