As Australia Launches its first "large" Vintage tournament of the year we have to thank all the players which managed to make it down and everyone who helped make this happen.

Congrats to all who made T8.  Especially to Socrates who spent a year or two here in the US (Denver, Colorado area).  He is one of the nicest magic players I have had the pleasure to meet.  Great job Socrates.

to aosquirrels:
It is indeed the Soc you met back in the States a few years ago. A cool family guy, greek (pretty obvious) and bald! He was my close teammate for the past year down in Adelaide.

I finished 2nd in Vintage (32 players) running Ritual Oath and I will soon put a few words in the following thread http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=44291.60. I played like a noob in the Finale and if you want to laugh, there should be some videos coming soon. Dan Unwin, my finale opponent, is the best Aussie player across all formats (Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Standard). He clearly jedi-ed me and I lost even before starting the Finale.

I also went into Finale at the Legacy event (48 players) running Delver-Bob-Nought. Stifle was a winner all day long and I will only mention the new tricks: Stifle-Miracle and Stifle-Griselbrand!!! We didn't play the Legacy Finale and we shared the top prize as it was 3:30am.

Considering that I've only topped 8 once in my life before, with 2 Finales in one week-end, this was/should be my best performance ever!
