Thanks again to everyone for coming to this event.
We'll be hosting the next event in our Vintage Tournament Series on Sunday, July 20th.

Make plans now to come join in the fun!

I would like to see that EBA list.
Good work to the top 8 though.
Seems slaver is once again the best deck.

[waywreth]

I'm not sure I'd go as far to say that Slaver is the best deck in the format, since it was only 12 players.  I will say that the sideboard by ELD was impressive - Empty the Warrens came up big for him in more than one match.

From my perspective it was a fun tournament as always, and look forward to the one in a few weeks.  This time I'll play something I have some practice with instead of trying to pick up a complicated Stax deck.  Thanks for posting the deck lists Dan!

[MrJolly]

Empty the Warrens came up big for him in both the matches that we played (and both in game 3). In the swiss, he EtW'd for 20 goblins on turn 1. In the top 4, he EtW'd for 8 on turn 1.
