Well, 8 people showed up (which means we have 3 rounds with cut to top 4!) and great times were had by all! BC will schedule another one in about 2 months and hopefully we get a bigger turnout.
I'll get lists and pics up later (it takes a while to transfer pics from my phone), but
RESULTS!
BC 3-0 MUD Dreamcrushed me, Frank Lau, and someone else.
LotusHead 2-1 Bomberman (lost to BC in round 2 in two non-games, but lots of hot revoker on revoker action)
Frankie Mach 2-1 Bob/Snapcaster Mage control (Crushed by me round 1 in two non-games)
Frank Lau RIVERS AFFINITY played cold out of my backpack 2-1 (Crushed by BC because BC's dudes were bigger than Frank's Myr Servitors and Metalworkers
Frank wanted a top 4 split, but I wanted to play it out so
TOP 4:
Frank demolished me with vanilla 1/1s and spheres
Frankie played blue cards and beat BC's artifacts.
Frank and Frankie split the cash and gave the glory to Frankie Mach! Whoot!
The 4 other decks were UBRG Storm, Grislebrand/Storm Oath, Bob/Snapcaster Control, and another Bob/Snapcaster Control deck.
I'll type up all 8 lists, but am watching Source Code right now!
Oh, and Door Prizes included a Chinese Metalworker, a playset of Asian Brainstorms, and a FTV-Legends set!

Pics and Quips!
Frankie prays that he gets to untap, and play blue and black spells. Full grip due to Memory Jar by Storm player.
Time called, but Frankie manages to get the Yawgwill, bounce the DSC, swing for 6, and keep Top ready to prevent 6 or more damage. Whew!
My Ethersworn Canonist and Grafdigger's Cage keep Michael Lewis at bay. You can't see it, but he's staring daggers at his Emrakul perpetually in hand.
Control vs Control. I don't know who is winning... ever.
Control vs Control. I don't know who is winning...ever. These pics are in reverse chronological order btw.
BC's games all went pretty quickly, it seems, so he took a bunch of these will my cellphone.
That's Matt Salts, one of our local "guys to beat". He does pretty well at the drafts and the T2 events, does his best to play the best decks, so here he is with UB Control.
Note to TMD: Canonist is good versus blue decks. even Oath of Druids. That's ME there! probably 3rd ever pic of me on TMD.
Heh heh... Mike finally got to Oath up Grislebrand. Then drew his card. Then Vampiric Tutored for something awesome, then activated Grislebrand's ability, then I Path to Exile'd it (he had about 20ish cards left), shrugged, looked through his deck for a basic. Didn't find one. Shuffle, present, sweared obscenities. Ok, maybe he didn't swear, but I got him. His 2nd Oath revealed Runescarred Demon as last card WHOOT!
Frankie Mach is patiently waiting to see if his mini-Yawg Will will resolve. He Steel Sabotaged AAHZ's time vault earlier.
Salts might live, or he might die. He has just a brainstorm in hand vs Storm.dec.
Frank Lau rocking the River's Affinity deck (Factories instead of City of Traitors from original build, more or less). He didn't even know what was really in the maindeck. Eventually he learned that he needs to leave a creature on the field instead of just drawing a shit-ton of cards off Skullclamp.
Lists later...
