The first of these events is this Thursday. Let's play some mid-week Vintage! (Otherwise, I'm just going to win all the raffles. What am I going to do with all these FTV:20s?)

[GrandpaBelcher]

We had five people play Vintage for store credit and a raffle for FTV:20 tonight!

Jared Rice won the tournament with Dredge and a legitimate record of 3-0! He also won the raffle! Congratulations, Jared!

Final standings:

1. Jared Rice - Dredge
2. David Beals - UW Bomberman
3. Rick Gideon - Mono-Blue (BBS)
4. Anthony (didn't get a last name) - UWB Control
5. Nat Moes - BR Stax

How on earth did I get 4th? lol  I went 2-1 (only losing to #1), and beat the second place guy 2-0 (BTW, he also had two bye's!)

GG's.

[GrandpaBelcher]

Yeah, his two byes gave him 2-1 and better breakers than yours. The five-person tournament is about the most awkwardly sized tournament ever, and now we know why. Actually, you must have been in third. I was misremembering Anthony's result, since he went 1-2 with a round-one bye. I'll change that now.

[Zenvir]

But the second place guy didn't win a single game, much less a round! lol

Oh well.

[GrandpaBelcher]

You'll have to take that up with the computer. It should recognize real-life logic like that, but it won't.

We had 10(!) people play Vintage in Columbus last night, as well as partake in the raffle for an FtV:20.

Unfortunately I don't have final standings, but I have the top three and can probably remember the other seven decks. I will try to get additional information from the store today.

Top 3
1. Nat Moes - RUG Pyromancer (3-0-1)
2. David Beals - UW Bomberman (3-0-1)
3. Greg Price - Grixis Control (2-1-1)

Other Decks
4. Harrison Laws - GW Aggro-Control
5. Jeremy Smith - Esper Control
6. Nicholas Sherwood - Academy Belcher
7. Eric Butler - BR Stax
8. Anthony Stall - Esper Control
9. Brent George - Grixis Control
10. Jared Rice - Grixis Control

Harrison Laws won the drawing for the FTV:20.

Thanks to everyone who came out, and congratulations to Harrison and our winners!

Updated final standings!

These Vintage events will continue regularly at Comic Town. Next week will be a great opportunity for people to get some testing in for the $400 event on Sept. 28: https://www.facebook.com/events/707463655934472/ (or here http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=45598.0).

Let's keep these going!

(Note: If we keep increasing turnout as has been the trend, next week's event will have 20 people in it!)

there is no better reason to cut class on thursday night than to sling some spells with all of you fine gentlemen.
