[Report] Myriad Games Vintage April 8th, 2006 w/T8 Decks

[Myriad Games]

The Myriad Games Vintage Tournament announcement for April 8th, 2006 can be found here.

Thank you to everyone who attended our latest Vintage tournament here at Myriad Games.

Tyler Huff won the Preregistration Bonus Dual Land: [card]Taiga[/card].

Check out some pictures from the event here. Thank you to Sara for these.

The T-Shirt Challenge continued to be popular. We gave away 5 Myriad Games T-Shirts. Thanks to everyone who participated. For those of you who did not win this time, thank you for playing. Those of you who haven't won a T-shirt can try again next time.

A special thank you to all those of you who made sure your deck lists were complete and correct. Please, everyone, be sure you triple check your list before submitting it. We had fewer game losses (3 total) due to misregistered decks this time, and we'd ideally prefer to award no game losses for avoidable clerical errors.

Every player received one of Sara's famous Myriad Games Magical Mana Cookies!

Myriad Games will be hosting our next Vintage Tournament on May 13th.

Also, we're hosting another 40 Duals Standard Tournament on Saturday, April 15th.

As always, if you have any comments or suggestions about our events, please email us at vintage@myriadgames.com

[XxChalicexX]

Just wanna be the first one to say Gratz Andy F. on a awesome weekend of Magic with the wins all over =o) Awesome playing man great job.

[Moxlotus]

Whoa--lots of Slaver.  Interesting to see 3 maindeck Bobs in the one build.

I never thought I'd see Shop, Dark Ritual, and Desire in the same decklist--but it somehow doesn't surprise me that Laplante can make a top 8 with it

Dan, either you copied the list incorrectly, or I should have gotten a game loss for incorrect deck reg. That 4th goblin welder was a tormod's crypt, and I'm almost 100% positive that I wrote that on the reg sheet. Apologies if I hadn't.

[Myriad Games]

Yes indeed - tons of Control Slaver.

Aaron, your deck list indicates 4 Goblin Welders. I'll have to be sure you get deck checked next time, you wiley guy.

[LouGodKingofDustBunnys]

Hmmm, the third time I have missed out on top 8 in the final round of the swiss when I had to win to get in. I, for one, blame Aaron...this is the second time you did this to me. Alas, there is but only one thing I can do.

I declare Vendetta against you Aaron!!

Other then that, twas a great time, and I of course shall be there next month.

[Juggernaut GO]

The most broken play of the day came against Jeff Anand where I went first turn lotus, strip mine, dark ritual, metalworker, necropotence, draw 14 cards.

I'm happy I found a deck that smashes control slaver, for the weekend 2 tournaments I was 5-1.

I claim 1/15 of your victory as those were my dark rits ;-o (I h8 smilies, so i make up my own, behold the winking blowjob! It's a saucy little emotion-con-w/e that denotes a hint of frivolity and overtones of impish immorality. It's a kind of haha and what-not, but "I still think you're a nub, and just b/c its called a smiley doesnt mean I like you" [althought i do <3 jugg-o]. hawt; said the a.z.n. who is currently celebrating monday [HAPPY MONDAY!] w/ copious amounts of runrum/coke[not that kind your immoral bastard]/limes/ice/and tonic water; the end.)

Dan, as always your event was par-excellent. BTW, I thought ichorid was a decent choice to play in a meta which historicaly featured stax, fishies, Oath, and a splattering of GGifts. HAHA to me when I play burning slaver (Tormods MD, drawn and activated turn 2 AFTER a wicked Balance on my part), TMWA w/ 4 MD crypts (OMG), and random goblins with (you guessed it) CRYPTS!. The only deck I beat was I.T., and god willing, there will be no celebrations in the 0-2 bracket, /frownz.

That being said, all my opponents were excellent players and sports; good job to those that managed TOP 8, and wowzers on the weird DC-CS list.

huggs and kisses,
heart myriad for still being wicked competitive,
