Less than 3 weeks until this event!

[Myriad Games]

Just a note that Myriad Games just received a shipment of new Myriad T-Shirts, so even those of you who have won a shirt in the past will be able to win a new one. To clarify the format for the Myriad Games T-Shirt Challenge - I will play as time permits during the event, usually in the later rounds. First priority goes to available players who have never won a T-Shirt and then proceeds to other available players. You can win a new T-Shirt (a style you did not have before) every 6 months. Naturally players are welcome to play for fun if everyone who would like to challenge has already had a chance to play. Looking forward to a great tournament!

[Myriad Games]

Just about a week until this event. We'll look forward to seeing everyone here!

hooooo ray!!!

[Marek]

I'm hoping to be able to be there.  As long as I get some friends to come along (2 hour car rides with nothing but Geddly Lee's voice wailing over my car radio is too much without a crowd in the car to talk to ) and nothing else happens I should be able to make it.  Hope to see you all there.

Solid.

Just a note for those of you who haven't been to Myriad Games before. We're very easy to get to, just a quarter mile left off Exit 2 of I-93, just over the NH border, about 30 minutes north of Boston.

We'll look forward to seeing everyone here!

Wish I could be there to win a new T-shirt

Just a reminder that each player at this tournament will receive a delicious Myriad Games Mana Cookie.

We'll look forward to seeing everyone for a scrumptious day of fun Magic this Saturday!

you're mean

[Myriad Games]

Also a reminder of the option for a Waterbury 1st Round Bye at this event.

See everyone soon!

[Marek]

I don't think i can make it now , since the big dig tunnel in boston started falling apart its now closed off.  A normal hour and a half drive is now going to take 3 and a half hours having to go around the tunnel, and since my license expires at midnight I don't think theres another way.  I hope to be able to come to your next tournament though.  I've heard good things about the store and the tournament itself.  Hope to see you all soon.

[Myriad Games]

You can email vintage@myriadgames.com or call 1-800-459-5516 or (603) 681-0355

We'll look forward to seeing everyone in about 12 hours!

[Smmenen]

Oh man, with Rich Shay in Europe, someone else got to win for a change.  Hope you guys enjoyed the change of pace.  Rick will be back next month

[tehmajickguy]

I dunno if I'm more surprised to hear that U/W fish won the whole thing or that Ray played Grim Long. Gratz to those who top 8'd.

[nataz]

Ray played Grim Long.

apparently he forgot staxless stax so he ended upo borrowing someone's deck.

I know he slow rolled a first turn win game 1 w/

COB, Mox, Crypt...
Dark RIT -> Bargain!!!!
RAWR

[Juggernaut GO]

I was proud to be the first person in north america to get infinite turns with mizzuim/time vault, and then quickly die 2 turns later after flipping sundering titan from confidant, and then the following turn flip triskelion from confidant after being at 14 life.  the only 2 things in my deck costing more then 3.   Hooooray !!!!

this tournament was still awesome, 45 people showed, and the prize support turned out to be awesome.

on a  side not, driving around lost in new hampshire looking for a d'angelos with feinstein, we were strangers in an unholy land.

[nataz]

on another note,

I played a MD-Gifts
w/ GG Repeal tech
w/ Nate P's sekret lava dart/anti welder/storm builder extraordinar (minus) 61'st card
w/ Travis Laplante approved/owned and designed final choices

that I'm going to name Nataz' Gifts.dec (and will sue anyone who calls it otherwise...I'm a lawyer you know)

I found it excellent, but my 4-2 was wanting.
The Top 8 U/W Null Rod + Chalice + MMage fish pwd me after a savage mis-SB on my part, and then of course I am terrible with skeletal scrying.

BTW

DID YOU KNOW BRASSMAN IS THE BEST VINTAGE PLAYER IN THE WORLD?!
What Izzit about him that makes him so good?

[iamfishman]

I did indeed play Grim Long...and I did indeed top 8 despite having never played the deck.

I am not giving up on Staxless Stax...I just forgot the deck at home.

Also, the look on Kyle's face when I opened up like Staxless Stax would, but then busted out first turn Bargain was priceless.

[Scoops666]

I so wish I was at this. Instead of enjoying Type 1, I was losing horribly in VS (Friends forced me to go to th 10K). Don't worry, thats the last time I'll skip Magic for VS. Ever!

Think how much better you could have done if you had played it before!
