Hey guys, sorry for taking so long to get this posted. As I'm sure some of you have seen, Top Deck Games has had a lot on its plate between the Eternal Weekend and GP Baltimore. In summary, we had another great event on October 18th! We had 29 players come out to play Vintage, with Ryan Tigro finishing 2nd and Tom Dixon winning the event! There was a marked increase in Dredge decks on the day and that seemed to be a response to the lack of graveyard hate in sideboards due to its lack of play over the past year. Here is a breakdown of what decks were in the field:
Null Rod:3 Merfolk
3 URg Delver
1 Stoneblade
Dark Ritual/Combo:2 Storm
1 Doomsday
1 URg PyroStorm
Mana Drain:1 Keeper
1 Control Oath
1 Turbo Tezz
2 Grixis Control
1 UW Bomberman
Bazaar of Baghdad:6 Dredge
Mishra’s Workshop:2 Terra Nova
4 Martello
The top 8 was as follows:
Tom Dixon(8) vs Matt Elias(1): Dixon wins
Ryan Tigro vs. Matt Murray: Tigro wins
Ryan Glackin vs. John Grudzina: Glackin wins
Evan Hundertmark vs. Nicholas Lukito: Hundertmark wins
Tom Dixon vs Evan Hundertmark: Dixon wins
Ryan Tigro vs. Ryan Glackin: Tigro wins
Tom Dixon vs. Ryan Tigro, prize split and Ryan conceded.
Congratulations to Tom Dixon, Ryan Tigro, and the rest of the top 8 competitors!
