About once a month there is a $10 Type 1 tournament at Fantasy Games in South Bend, Indiana (http://www.fantasygames-southbend.com). This past Saturday we had a measly 8 players sign up. (I think 7 of the 8 players were running power.)  I am writing this tournament report to hopefully get more people to show up.

I was not taking notes so, this will be brief.  I was playing a wMUD variant similar to Pago's Deadbolt using Loadstone Myrs.

Round 1 of 3: I play against Chris B. playing Scepter Keeper.
Game 1: I only see one land (a mountain) all game and have the joy of taking 10 points of damage from my Mana Vault.  I sideboard in REBs and 2 Defense Grids.
Game 2: I mulligan down to 6 cards that includes both defense grids.  He FoW the first, the second resolves.  I win a few turns later.
Game 3: He drains a Sphere on my turn 1 to tap out and cast a Morphling on his turn 2.  I REB it and win a few turns later.

Match 1-0-0 (Game 2-1-0)

Round 2 of 3: I played against a different Chris playing mono-black control.
Game 1: Nothing special, my Loadstone grows faster than his Shade.  I win.
Game 2: He strips my Workshop after I play a Sphere.  I draw no more land, I lose.
Game 3: 2x Sphere + 1x 3sphere = 1x win.

Match 2-0-0 (Game 4-2-0)

Round 3 of 3: I ID with Josh H. playing classic wMUD.

Tiebreakers put me 2nd.  The top 4, we decide to split for $20 store credit each.  I know it sounds uneventful, but now you can come and join us.

If you actually care to know any more, please reply with questions.

Anyways I saw ur tourney post in the open forum and just wanted to know some info about ur store before my friends and I make the trip out since the website wasn't to informative. 1. How many people do u guys usually get for T1 2. how often does the store have T1 tournies 3. what kind of prizes does the store give out 4. what kind of cards does the store have in stock(T1 wise) 5. the size of the store 6. Are proxies allowed 7. what kind of decks do people usually play.


[list=1]
  • 8 is the lowest we have ever had.  I think the highest may have been around 24.  The average would be around 16.
  • They usually run on the second Saturday of the month.  On the website they don't add the next month's events to the calendar until about the third week of the current month.  There may not be a normal T1 in May due to the T1 at http://www.gameconsouthbend.com May 29th.
  • Usually it is store credit ($10 x number of player). 50% to first, 25% to second, and 12.5% to third and fourth.  They have also held T1s for a $100 cash prize for first.
  • The occasional power card plus a decent selection.
  • The back room usually has seating for around 48.
  • No proxies.
  • wMUD, Suicide, Landstill, Dragon, Keeper, Mask, Sligh, and GAT.  Have not seen much Dragon or Mask recently.
  • [/list:o]

I don't know if I know Rodney and yes, there are more people there that play T2 than T1.  But, most of the T2 only players are kids who don't even have a driver's license yet and I would not necessarily call them cool. The usual T1 players are Josh H., the other Josh H., the other Josh H.'s little brother, Jay S., Chris B., the other Chris, the other Chris's little brother, Steve W., Tony V., and sometimes Dave C., Will C. and a whole list of other people I can't remember right now.
