The Adventurer’s Guild Time Walk Tournament Report!

[jkarr1977]

First of all, thank you to everyone who made the trip out to The Adventurer’s Guild for our first major vintage event. Hope everyone had a good time. Guess the secret to getting Womba to a tournament is having it 2 minutes from his house.

We had 17 people come out to play for the following prizes;
1st place Time Walk
2nd place $150 store credit
3&4th place $75 store credit
5-8th place $50 store credit.
All prizes were guaranteed regardless of attendance.

Mark Kinney, Shawn Griffiths, Shawn Tappen and Justin Kohler split the top 4.

This was run as a 5 round swiss with a cut to top 8.

Top 8 were:
Mark Hornung
John Koprowski
Anthony Scalzo
Rob Edwards
Mark Kinney
Shawn Griffiths
Shawn Tappen
Justin Kohler

Top 8 Pairing and Results:
Mark Hornung vs Justin Kohler – Kohler Wins
John Koprowski vs Shawn Tappen – Tappen Wins
Anthony Scalzo vs Shawn Griffiths – Griffiths Wins
Rob Edwards vs Mark Kinney – Kinney Wins

Please inform us of any suggestions you may have for us to improve our tournaments in the future! And again, thanks to everyone for coming out to help support the game! Congrats to all the Top 8 Players!

Again, thanks for all the players that came out. The date of our next vintage event is not set but we will post is as soon as we know. Thanks again everyone!!!!! And once again, Congratulations to the top 8!!!

[A.-1.]

It was a fun tournament despite the lower attendance. I hope you guys continue to run Vintage events in the future.

[jkarr1977]

Thank you, Glad to hear you enjoyed it. We plan to continue to run events just like this, just not in August since August is already jam packed.

Working on Septembers calendar now.

[tzeentchlord9]

This event was awesome and well run for it being the first one at this location. The prize support was insane and shows this place wants to be a serious spot for type 1. Congrats to the top 8 and I look forward to the next one.

[Pokey]

Take that metagame!  Look for Red Deck Wins soon at a tournament near you.  Also, please do have more events.  It is nice to finally have vintage so close to my home

[Stalker007]

jkarr1977 was wondering where the shop is located as im heading the USA in september and would love to play some type1 when i get there

cheeres shane

[A.-1.]

Stalker007, iirc you said you were coming to Texas? Unfortunately, this event was held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania several hundred miles away.

[thebliff]

SLAUGHTER SMURFS!

[Teps]

This tournament was well run, I had a great time thanks again! It was also sweet to top 8 with vit's deck, all credit goes to him for letting me borrow it.

[Stalker007]

Stalker007, iirc you said you were coming to Texas? Unfortunately, this event was held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania several hundred miles away.

thats kool as i will be traveling the USA to sightsee so it wont hurt to drop by and play some vintage and lose to some yanks lol

[LotusHead]

The first place list has 61 cards, is that correct? I hate having to find sleeve #76. I only noticed because I sleeved it up.

That deck looks very fun.

[A.-1.]

The lists are in no particular order, and the top 4 split. Which deck are you referring to?

[Pokey]

Mark Kinney and Shawn Tappen both played 61 cards because they always do that.  You could easily cut a card from either list.

[LotusHead]

My querry was about the first list, which we have changed to Angry Birds.

[tzeentchlord9]

Mark Kinney and Shawn Tappen both played 61 cards because they always do that.  You could easily cut a card from either list.

That's because Mark Kinney is a boss.

[V is for Vintage]

This tournament was well run, I had a great time thanks again! It was also sweet to top 8 with vit's deck, all credit goes to him for letting me borrow it.

The only logical conclusion is that extremely broken cards are adequate substitutes for extensive playtesting

[ramrodjon]

I've played against Vito's deck and some variants of it.  I am sad to say, it's the real-deal. 

[mr.grim]

Props to Shawn ,Rob ,Anthony and the rest of the top. This looked to be a good time .

[jkarr1977]

Thanks guys for all the kind words about the tournament. We will be running another one in September. Details to follow shortly.
