Thanks to everyone who came out, I had a blast playing, even if I did concede every round I would have won.

If anyone has any suggestions for making this bigger and better and funner in the future, both Lori and myself would like to hear them.

[Cyberpunker]

Wonderful tournament and nice prizes!

I wish there would be regular monthly ones. That is my only suggestion  

EDIT:

Can we get a metagame breakdown if possible? 

[Ozymandias]

This was an extremely entertaining tournament, and I would definitely do one every month.

October is tight, (LP, game day, large legacy).
I may try one beginning of November, anyone like the 7th?

Lori

[Cyberpunker]

Thanks a lot for the meta!

The 6th or 7th would work great for me. I can try to attend the October Legacy ones too.

This made me remember why I love magic, even if I blew it both times I played the control mirror. Congrats to Niles (who beat me in top8) and Matteo (who lost to a late predator in the swiss) for finishing strong. I would emphasize the same as has been stated, I would play any vintage event as often as you run it. Looking forward to the next one.
