27 of New England's best battled it out for not one, but two pieces of power. With a
Mox Jet for 1st, and a
Timetwister for 2nd, all the players were hoping to make the finals. In the end, the two players left fighting it out were no strangers to championship gold. Rich Shay bested Steven Houdlette in a GAT mirror to take home the title and the Waterbury Bye.
You can find the tournament announcement here.Everyone who attended received a Mox Jet proxy, which will not count as a proxy at ELD events, or Myriad events.

These are my way of saying thank you to everyone who supports the New England Vintage scene. It is the constant support of the players that allows the community to continue to grow.
You can view pictures from the tournament here. The final standings showed a varied metagame. With 6 distinct decks in the Top 8, there seems to be no shortage of options for making the cut. Once there though, GAT found a way to win, even against decks that have been built to defeat the reemerging power-house. In the end, GAT out preformed all the other archtypes, if with a little bit of good fortune. Rich Shay managed to give his opponent only a single turn in game 3 on his way to the finals. With the $25 entry fee, the prize support was very rich, despite a slightly below average turn out.
