..to participate in what was destined to be an orgy of Vintage insanity.
My other match loss was to Steve. It went to three games, but two of those games involved my not getting a turn. Chalice of the Void and Duress and Tormod's Crypt are all perfectly good cards against Grim Long, but not so good if you don't step foot inside your main-phase. Steve played the many amazing cards in his hand well, and main-phases became nothing more than a dream for me. As did making another Top 8
Head Judge Matt V posted a notice for this tournament:
Preregistration for this event is now available here.
Brian Demars: I've already called and reserved my slot in the Top 8, but luckily for you guys there are still seven left.
Peter Olszewski: You mean three left, provided you manage to make it. At least half of the Top 8 is auto-reserved for players North of the Border - I thought everyone knew this?
Rian Litchard: Assuming we let you in the country.
Then again, we let Steve Menendian out of the house…
You should all meet Rian's mom. Lovely woman. Great cook.
