[Results & MetaBreakdown] Vintage Side-Event @ Dutch Nationals (25th of July)

[Duncan]

Today 20 people gathered to play in the (sanctioned) vintage side-event of the Dutch Nationals. There were 6 rounds of Swiss and a Top 4 to be played. Because the TO was not going to post the decklists I offered to do it so here we go.

After six rounds the top Swiss standings were as follows (if I recall correctly):

1. Arjen Ruiterkamp 15 pts
2. Jaap Brouwer 15 pts
3. Duncan Keijzer 13 pts
4. Hero 't Mannetje 13 pts
5. Boaz van Driel 12 pts

I name the top 5 players, because after round 6 Jaap told the rest he had to go home to his child. He was already satisfied with his finish and did not care that much for his prizes. Therefore the organizers decided to let 5th place enter the top 4 elimination.

Semis:
Arjen Ruiterkamp (UbaStax) def. Boaz van Driel (Ichorid)
Hero 't Mannetje (5c Stax) def. Duncan Keijzer (GWSx)

Finals:
Arjen and Hero split in the finals.

After six rounds the top Swiss standings were as follows (if I recall correctly):

1. Arjen Ruiterkamp
2. Jaap Brouwer
3. Duncan Keijzer
4. Hero 't Mannetje
5. Boaz van Driel

I name the top 5 players, because after round 6 Jaap told the rest he had to go home to his child. He was already satisfied with his finish and did not care that much for his prizes. Therefore the organizers decided to let 5th place enter the top 4 elimination.

How is the rules on this btw? If he drops after the sixth round I didn't know his place in the t4 was going to the next on the list...

I have no idea, that's a call the TO's made. I just posted the lists and everything. I think they considered it as a drop after round 6 though. Isn't he removed from final standings then?

[M.Solymossy]

Man Duncan, your deck looks Savage.  I wonder if that would do well state-side?   

[Marske]

@Mike,
Leave those sphinxes alone and go play it then !!

@Duncan,
Great to see Boaz perform with my ichorid list (he borrowed the deck) it has been performing well for me too lately and this was only his second vintage event ever. I think we have a new talent in the dutch scene. Thanks for posting the decklists !!

Added Metagame breakdown to opening post.

The standings will bump him into 5th place.
