It's really a shame that this isn't being streamed. Hopefully someone will at least record the top eight matches for later viewing. Unfortunately, it's the closest some of us get to real sanctioned vintage. What I would give for a sanctioned vintage scene around here...

I don't know of anything being stolen.  The setup and security this year is orders of magnitude better than last year.

I'm 4-0.

Correction, rooting for Blaine and New York.

Raf Forino has made top eight.

Heres a shout out to whoever lent me 4x sphere of resistance; I really appreciate it. In fact, I'd like to return your spheres to you and get my foil unhinged island back from you. Josh (I think) please email me at NickCoss@yahoo and we'll get in touch to exchange cards.

Thanks,

-Nick

Pastimes updated their prize structure and is paying out to top 32.  They're paying out current in print boosters, which is what they have available.

The winning list is card-for-card the list I would have played at GenCon if not for work (other than the sideboard mountain). Congrats to everyone who played and represented the greatest format.

I've never heard of Vintage's new World Champion. Checked him out on Morphling.de. I'd guess he's German as all his hits on there are at German events. Is this the first time a European has won the Vintage Championship?
