Taking aside the decklists from our last tournament, I crunched the numbers to see exactly what the metagame looked like.

27 people entered and the overall metagame turned out fairly evenly split between control, workshop, and aggro-control.

For Control decks, the following people entered with:
Ben Carp 3 Color Control (UBW)
Scott Hansen U/W Phid
Lenny Thao 3 Color Control (UBW)
Brad Thompson U/B Control
Joe Schultz 3 Color Control (UBW)
Adam Boese Mono-U Sensei
Mike Solymossy Control Titan

Worshops were everywhere, and were represented by:
Dan Carp Workshop Aggro (Mindslaver sideboard)
Jamison Brigand Control Slaver
Xue Vang STAX
Ryan Spindler 7/10 Split
Jake Hustad Workshop Red

Aggro-Control showed up in numbers with:
Chris Lehman U/G Madness
Patrick Titterud U/W Landstill
Tommy Kolowith Cerebral Assassin
Tim Deering U/G Madness
Luke Stevens Oshawa Stompy
Tony Higley Cerebral Assassin
Taylor Hustad Bird Sh!t
Nick Kinney U/R Fish

Aggro-Combo numbers were about right, making up:
Justin Curron Food Chain Goblins
I@n Degraff Food Chain Goblins
George Andrews Meandeck Oath
Josh Bayer Jabroni-tog (Grow-a-Tog w/Crucible Combo kill)

Combo was under-represented but still strong with:
Jeremy Sauld Dragon
Andy Hizer 2-Land Belcher
Matt Hannafin Meandeck Tendrils

According to the decklists, there were also 6 illegal decklists entered into the tournament. Obviously some were just errors while writing down the decklists on the tournament sheet, but these are what I found:

Taylor Hustad 59 card maindeck
Tony Higley 2 Mox Jets in maindeck
Justin Curron 10 card sideboard
Xue Vang 6 Glimmervoids maindeck
Patrick Titterud (top 8 ) 59 card maindeck
Mike Solymossy (top 8 ) 14 card sideboard

*EDIT* Mike's sideboard contained 15 cards, but Echoing Truth was not listed.
Now for the color breakdown. Of the five colors in Magic, Blue was the overall favorite, followed in a near-split by Red and Green, then Black, and finally a small showing of White. Artifacts were heavy to say the least, representing the second-most played source of cards.

Card by card breakdowns are broken up first by the Restricted List, Artifacts, Blue, Red, Green, Black, and White, followed by Gold and Split cards, and finally the Land breakdown. Sideboard cards are given in parentheses. Find out what was hot and what was not.

[jeremy_78]

Here's a link to my annoyingly long tournament report that nobody wants to read http://www.themanadrain.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22307.  Other than that, I won the MOXEN master t-shirt    by winning the first game.  I don't remember the last time anyone has played the last match out, maybe it has something to do with being like almost 4am in the morning.  If I make it that far next time, I ll probably play it out.  That way when I lose we won't have to play for the same old pearl anymore.

Not in Type 1.
He meant that they'd been listed with the restricted cards, instead of in the white section.

[Into The Silence]

You guys should be ashamed that Dan Carp was able to take it down.

 

I'm curious how Dan was able to beat Dragon because I know that it is a difficult matchup for 7/10.

Trinisphere + Wastes I imagine is some good though.  Enjoy it while you can.

[M.Solymossy]

hey Fisher, not only did Dan take this event, but 4 out of 6 ICBM member's DOMINATED the swiss.

Me and Ben Carp ID'ed the 5th round at the top table.   Tommy and Dan both got in, and then we had one member, Jamison Bryant, who barely missed out when his deck decided not to give him any lands.


Enjoy our last TWO mox win's, you mean?   Come april 10th we'll be enjoying another... :lol:

[jeremy_78]

As i do recall, I did win the One of match that me and Dan played and went home with the mox master T shirt.  I would say that I have grounds to at the very least, claim a split, if not justified to say that I would have had the upper hand and probably would have won one of the last two games.  You have to give me some credit, the only place I play good is Eau Claire, at least let me have that Oh, yeah Team El Tor0 should be doing better once I@n unretires.

That's UW Fish in the Top 8, not UW Landstill.
