Thanks to everyone for coming.  I have a few pictures and a report to follow.

[Fortune]

Thanks, Ben and congratulations to everyone!

[Smmenen]

Ben, could you disaggregate the Beatz and Fish decks?

The GW deck is not Fish.

Thanks!!

[LordHomerCat]

Thanks Ben for the quick lists.

What's up with Jerry Yang playing TEN Mountains of his TWENTY-NINE lands? Surely this is a typo, and he's not playing 68 cards?

Let me know if that link doesn't work, it's my first time using Flickr.  I'll post this link in the other ICBM Open threads as well.

I split the Fish and Beats decks up.  Jerry Yang ran ONE Mountain, not 10; his list has 1 and then a scribbled-out number after it which I mistook for a zero.  Lists are done; I'll try to get a report up eventually.  Love all ya'll.
