Thanks for taking the time to post these results. Looks like stax is still seeing play overseas, unlike here in the US.

        4 Thopter Squadron

WTF?

[Fantaman]

Ehm thanx yes stax is played but MONO ARTIFACT ST4K3R has more results in europe.

I don't know what kind of card is what u have mentioned...

probably is written in spanish languadge.  :lol:

Thanx

Those are the weirdest Oath lists I've seen  :shock:

[MaxxMatt]

WTF?

This is a ThopterSquadron

I don't think that they are playing BrassimanGifts with those artifacts, but with the more conventional Thirst for Knowledge

...Oath weird lists...

If you scroll down with the lists, you can find a lot of different configurations.
A lot of them are conventional while other are not.
A lot of them are conditioned by the lack of complete P9s, other are made in that way because of precise thoughts.

Instead of saying "weird".
Try to state and articulate something more interesting about their (real?) "weirdness"





We expected far more players rather than the ones that played that well organized tourney.
I would translate some reports as soon as I have some time to do it.
The Top8s clearly translate the situation of MtG, in Italy, at now.

A lot of good Artifact decks, a couple of Bluebasedcontrol ones, some aggro-control-denial-with-weenies ones with the remaining slots covered by the UB-combobased-decks.

On the other hand, we have a lot of variety among them.
Different decks with similar intents.

some of the Oath lists - like the one who seems to have just added Mishra's Factories look to have thought, but others like this one

http://www.thefuturecity.com/nightmare/liste/12.txt.dec

are just a hodge-podge of cards (2 brainstorms?  Crucible, random artifact hate) and not focused at all.  I think that's what he meant by "weird".

The Mountains Win Again!

[Fantaman]

Hi Fantaman,

that looks like a pretty cool tournament even if it was only 130 players. I hope you didn't loose too much mony because of that. Why didn't you participate yourself? I really hope that i can make it down for the next one.

To the decks: I am really surprised that there were such strong appearances of fish. I thought fish was dead especially in your meta with soo much stax and combo. I really like the gambles and especially the Show and Tell in T4. Show and Tell is awesome!

[sa17dk]

Now that I realize what Thopter Squadron is, can anyone explain to me what it was used for o.O

The tournament dear Heiner was the same day of Prague's PRO TOUR so not so much players come to me.
I lose this time some money but you know I'm an organizer so I love this game and it's own risks. Next time will be better.

I don't play because we want to look and helps for the best on this event. Next time I will be in the list ehhehe.

Show and tell yessss it's nice nice nice!

Bye

Obvioesly, I was not playing with Thopter Squadron, that are Thirst for Knowledge like Maxx wrote. I wrote my complete list on English languaje.
Thopter Squadron is not a tech XD
