Preface:
Whether it was due to the recent outbreak of small children carrying debilitating diseases, the talent vortex that was happening a mere 540 miles away, or the plethora of events that have been leaving players weary and simply not having the drive to wake up at the crack of 8 (or sooner!), our attendence was at its lowest ever, with 18 players.

Great event! Thanks, can wait for the next one
That was an epic game two we had Shawn. Winning by decking is not the norm. One epic long match

Turnout was a bit heartbreaking. Where's all my vintage homies at yesterday?
At first, I was a little salty that some retro shit got there, but-
A) That's actually kind of awesome.
And
B) Look at that deck name. How can I stay mad at that?
Well done, Bernie. At least you weren't on fish :p
Other Props:
Noble finally getting a round on me, because somehow I wound up on Tundra and he wound up on Dark Ritual.
The term "Manstill"
Again, Bernie's deck name.
Dr. Horrible
Slops:
Library of Alexandria for being the worst goddamn card in the Landstill mirror. Seriously LoA, get your shit together.
18 people.

Turns out that nice guys don't finish last. They finish in ninth. (I'm never IDing with anyone again. Ever.)
Thanks to everyone that made it out for food afterward. Sometimes the best part of a tournament isn't the actual tournament.

Don't call it a comeback...
The deck was fun and I was a little upset by the turn out, but I did play many quality players.
I'm hoping to be around more this year in the local vintage scene.
I did draw Tinker often which is never a bad thing.
Props to all my opponents especially Mikey Noble, Tom Dixon, and Kohler.
Slops to Mr. Nick Coss for being sick and having to leave early. Feel better.
Who knows what I'll play next time maybe I'll resurrect EBA, or 3cc Das Moat style.

... never? That seems poor. He double ID'd with friends in r3+4 and got put in an awkward position in r5 that knocked him out of top 8 because he got paired down. Several X-2's made it, but he wasn't able to 2-0-3 it as he couldn't ID last round. I understand his feelings, though I think he means he won't ID earlier than being locked up. |
