[Top Deck Games] Winter Open 12/28 & 12/29 - Over $7,000 in prizes over 3 events

[Iron_Chef]

The Top Deck Games 2013 Winter Open

Twice a year, we try to cram as much awesome as we possibly can into a 2-day event. Thus the Summer and Winter Opens were born. This time, we're going back to our roots and offering ridiculous prize support that is reminiscent of the early Philly Opens...FOIL playsets of the best cards in standard AND a full playset of Revised Dual Lands! Not only that, but we're adding a third main event (and trophy) to go along with the Standard and Vintage tournaments.

We're also going to have some killer Panzarottis available, courtesy of Franco's next door. It's worth the trip just for these!

Thank you , Mr. Coss!

Well I am excited for this! Hopefully this will be the start of many vintage tournaments for me in 2014

Blowing off skiing with the family to sling some Vintage Sunday.  Though TBQH, I don't actually enjoy skiing, so it is no great sacrifice.

And Coss said, "Let there be Vintage," and there was Vintage.

Thanks for the excellent turnout yesterday, everyone.  While I went a meager 3-3 on the day, I still had a great time, and I did get to beat an opposing Oath player down with his own spirit tokens courtesy of Vault/Key at just the right time (Thanks to Mr. Pikula and the Gans clan for busting my chops until I put it in), so that happened.

John jones lost his red mana deck box with pink sleeves. Last seen in tne bathoom at tdg.

Curious about the results of this one. I was stuck in Colorado and couldn't make it.

Curious about the results of this one. I was stuck in Colorado and couldn't make it.

64 players. I lost in the finals to Adam on BantBlade.

Top 8 was Dredge, Shops, 2 Oath, BantBlade, BUG, Harry Corvese (don't know his list), and another I can't recall.

[Will]

Is there any chance we will get a report for this one in the near future? I'm interested in the results of the capstone event for a great year of Vintage.
