Thanks to everyone who came and continued to play for NEV Points and an invited to the NEV Championship at the end of the year!  We had 28 players (unfortunately on the small side as far as NEV tournaments are concerned).  Hopefully by the June events everyone will be used to the nice weather outside and will be itching to play some Vintage again.  Also, sorry it took me so long to get this up on TMD.  I'm learning that running a store leaves me with very little time.

I would love to talk to Seth about DT, anyone have his contact info?

Those RUG lists need 4 Delver hard, why are people still running 3?

Great event as usual Mr. Coss! I will see you at the next one! All of my opponents of the day were great sports as I thrashed through this one to take 1st. I love the diversity in the format and the people that play it. It makes playing vintage so awesome!

I stuck pretty close to the source list.  But, you're right, the deck definitely needs 4 Delver.

Nick, I may have emailed you an old list, or you may have used Mickey Mahr's list as my list.  Either way, I've corrected my list.
