Xtreme Games Results 3/15/09

[M.Solymossy]

Only 13 people showed up, but the competition is insane, non-the-less.   The Xtreme crew are stand-up people, and they gave out prizes to the top 4, nontheless.  They're always insanely nice, and run an insanely smooth tournament.  They do great things for the vintage scene in WI/IL, and I suggest as many people as possible go play here!

Jimmy could you post your grow list 

[LordHomerCat]

It was basically the list that won that tourney in Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago.  It still needs work before it is good enough to actually win IMO=/

"basically the list" sounds like a nice way of saying that you're omitting some secret meandeck secret savage secret tech.

Well he is on team meandeck, so its safe to assume he only plays vintage for financial gain.

[LordHomerCat]

The list I played wasn't very good, so you're probably better off playing his list that actually won something.  Believe me, no secret tech to be had, but Zach's deck is likely better and you should start from there if you want to make changes.

@ M.Solymossy:

I have recently been experimenting with Demonic Consultation in different decks... May I ask, how did it work for you? What were your reasons for playing with it? Did you even lose or win because of it? Thanks!

[M.Solymossy]

I have won every time in testing and in tournaments that I've cast it.  My deck is mostly 3-4ofs, and a lot of times I'll consult for Dark Confidant, Dark Ritual, or Cabal Ritual.  I've used it to find Tendrils of Agony befroe, too.  Overall, it's one of my favorite cards in the deck.
