[Report] Myriad Games Vintage March 24th, 2007 w/T8 Decks

[Myriad Games]

The Myriad Games Vintage Tournament announcement for March 24th, 2007 can be found here.

Thank you to everyone who attended the third event in our 2007 Vintage Tournament Series here at Myriad Games.

Arik Pogrebinsky won the Preregistration Bonus Dual Land.

Steve Morency won the Best Deck Name Contest with "Is there a Doctor in the house? I've been hit by a Pit Scorpion!"

The Myriad Gear Challenge continued to be popular. I played 13 games and we gave away a bunch of Free Myriad Gear. Thanks to everyone who participated. Enjoy the Myriad Gear!

Pictures from this event are available here.

Our New Player Bonus Booster Pack was also appreciated. Each new player received a Free Booster Pack!

Every player that wanted one received one of Sara's famous Myriad Games Magical Mana Cookies!

The Vintage Draft (including cards from The Dark, Legends, Antiquities, and Arabian Nights) was thoroughly enjoyed again. The final standings from that event were:
   
   1st  Marc Tuttle
   2nd  Steve Morency
   3rd  Craig Dupre
   4th  Matt McNally
   5th  Mike Bergeron
   6th  Jared Carter

We'll be continuing this Free side tournament at our next event on April 14th.  If you have cards from those four sets that you'd like to donate to diversify the card pool, bring them by Myriad Games.

Our Best Tournament Report contest is underway. All tournament reports posted in the Tournament Announcement section of The Mana Drain by March 31st will be eligible to win. Reports must include Myriad Games in the title. Style points will be awarded for catchy titles, amusing anecdotes, and interesting coverage. Super style points will be awarded for good pictures from the event. Everyone is encouraged to respond to the tournament reports to let us know which you like best (you may PM myriadgames with comments if you cannot post directly to the Tournament Report forum). I will be the grand, august, final arbiter as to the final placement of reports. We may even award ancillary prizes if there are multiple reports that are deserving. Prizes will be reserved at Myriad Games and may be picked up the next time the winner(s) stop by. As reports are added, I will add handy links to the various tournament reports from the player's names in the final standings below.

Myriad Games will be hosting our next Vintage Tournament on April 14th!

As always, if you have any comments or suggestions about our events, please email us at vintage@myriadgames.com

Thanks again to everyone for coming. We'll look forward to seeing everyone at the next Myriad Games Vintage Tournament on April 14th.

[Myriad Games]

This was a particularly tough Best Tournament Report prize to narrow down. We had detailed reports from 3 of the Top 4 players and Jared (our Best Tournament Report winner from last month) did another excellent job of writing an interesting report complete with pictures.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a report for this event.

And our winner is...







Dave Feinstein!!!

with a close second going to Jared Carter!!

and honorable mentions to Arik Pogrebinsky! and Tim Greenfield!

You'll all be receiving Magic prizes tailored to your interests at the next Myriad you attend!

To lazy to write report ftl

[Dxfiler]

Thank you for the award.  It is nice to feel recognized, especially since some people had been giving me crap about this particular report.  I literally put hours into every report I write and it feels good to finally get something for one of them.

I regret not being able to go to this next myriad but will almost certainly be at the one after, regardless of the date.

- Dave Feinstein

[Myriad Games]

Congrats again, Dave. We appreciate all the effort that goes into these reports. 

You can start planning for our May Vintage Tournament now. It will take place on Saturday, May 26th. We'll also be hosting a Standard tournament on Sunday, May 27th. Both of these tournaments will feature the new cards from Future Sight (releasing May 4th) so you can celebrate Memorial Day in style here at Myriad Games!
