Here's a cell-photo I had of the room for those who couldn't make it. This is from before the tournament started, while probably only 80 of the 125+ had arrived.  Classy. |

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.
Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops. I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Shuffles, much like commas, are useful for altering tempo to add feeling. |

I haev a first turn Llanowar Elf. He casts Ancestral, a slightly stronger card from the same set.

No, it's obviously, um... no clue. I mean, that's what we do in Philly when we uh, win feature matches? |

I decided to play Oath, mostly because it's the deck I'm most comfortable piloting. After losing to Ashok round 1 (congrats on making 2nd!) and Stephen Menendian round 3 I dropped to try my luck in the side event.
At the last minute before the tournament I had decided to beef up the Dredge hate in my sideboard, but it wasn't enough to stop me from being knocked out by Dredge in the semifinals, after an epic game 2 that ended with me running out of cards in the library one turn before winning by damage, and one card from winning by decking.
I had never played in so large of a Vintage tournament before; I had an incredible time and hope that the Waterbury returns to being a yearly event!

Apologies for late reply to thread, couldn't make it as have been in UK for past month+, did play in GB Nats (badly), and do have new baby son (who will be playing in this weekend's Scars Launch Party).
I'd have loved to have come to this, even if it was a little shy of the 200 players heyday - we could get back there if done often again... These tournaments were always the business.
But, had to go scour the post for dopeness factor. Then having spent my 5 mins solving it (bit easier than some past ones), I figured I'd scour the rest of the thread to see if anyone else had bothered. Only 1 other post with 12^(4+6)?
Congrats to those who did well, and those who went.
But surely, Ray, you should have included the complete list of past champions, now retired on the "legends to drag along". No Jeff Tussi, no Seth Levy, for e.g.
