Great tournament, I will Def. come back for the next one of these.  Very well run, only problem was the seating for me for the first round.  After the first round it was fine as more people started playing in the food court/spreading out more.  All in all a great day, had loads of fun even though I have a wicked cold.  Congrats to all in the top 8 and to everyone in the top 4 who split.

As a side note, Memory Jar is only in my sideboard because I needed a 15th card in a hurry as at the last minute i switched out a maindeck FoF for a maindeck empty the warrens.  That decision was correct for me all day.  I could have just thrown the FoF into my sideboard, but the Jar just looked better.  So you dont need to ask me questions about it or if i sideboarded it in...I never did...and never wanted to.

Dan Perovich 's deck has 59 cards by my count? Last one is Mox Jet I'm assuming. Rather ironic that 2 Wee Dragonaut bearing decks both T8 in 2 totally different metagames. I ran a 4 color build although, as Fastbond is too abuseable with Gush IMO.

The Sacramento Ruby tourney thread in this same forum is where I ran mine at.

[Harlequin]

Nice tournement, I really like the venu. 

My deck's name was "Gushin' Oath" ... however Crushin Oath does sound kinda cool 
Also there were only 2 Spell Snares in my board.
Expect to see more of us!

Thanks for running the tournament, I hope to make the next event.

The missing card is in my Dragonauts list is Library of Alexiandra. A full Wee Dragonauts report should be posted shortly.

This is a sick Top 8!
Congratulations to the winners!

[Jeffro]

the hadley tournys are indeed awsome, especially the part where we can sleep in and get to the tourny quickly. I did alot better this tourny without the hangover of elds tourny. made a butt ton of mistakes but still manage to make top 4. will def be back for the next one, hopefully there will be more partying the night before this one like the last time.

This was a truely fun tourney.

For those who want a laugh:

I told Dan the day before at ELD's that if I "did well" I would switch decks with him.  Top 4 is apparently "well".  It was decided: at Hadley I would play TMWA and Dan Yarrington would play Staxless Stax

On the way up to Hadley, fellow TPSers Dan Gacioch, Scott Hughes, Jeff Kowalczyk, and Rich Meyst and I were all squeezed tight into a car.  It was thrown out that whoever did worse had to "ride (((explative deleted)))"(sit in the middle of the back seat) on the way home.  I immediately declared,

"Umm...I don't think that is fair."

"Why not, you always do well?" was the response.

"I just don't think that it is fair, that's all."

It didn't take long to see right through me.  The cat was out of the bag, at least, with my teammates.

I get there and make a few changes to TMWA.  Dan keeps Staxless exactly as is.

Round 1 pairing vs Dan Yarrington

"Son of a (((explative deleted)))!!!"

We decide to go play in the far area of the food court so no one will see us.  At one point during game three, Kowal comes over and asks what is going on.  I tell him the match is over and we are playing with each other's decks for fun.  When he asks who won the match I quickly say, "Obviously me.  I smashed his (((explative deleted))) face."

Kowal spend the whole day believeing our story.

I beat fellow TPSer Jeff K in round 4 to go 3-1.  I now assume I can draw in.  It turns out that I have the worst tiebreakers and have a tough decision about round 5.  I'm not feeling very confident with the deck having made a few mistakes throughout the day and decide to take my chances with a draw.

I finish 9th

It would have been great fun to top 8 with TMWA but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Staxless Stax was not happy with me that night.  I had to sleep on the couch.

I bought it flowers yesterday, and it agreed to let its mother in law come over for dinner.  I'm almost out of the doghouse.

Count on me playing Staxless Stax at the next event.

[Kowal]

Actually I knew you were bullshitting because Rich Meyst spilled the beans before I even spotted you guys.

There are strategic benefits to not letting you know I know...  ya know?
