[TO Report] Pandemonium Vintage for Power Jan 19, 2014

Ok, a little later than I would have liked, but here is the TO Report for the latest Vintage for Power event at Pandemonium.

As usual I would like to extend a big thank you to Pandemonium for continuing to support the growth of the vintage community here in Boston, and allowing us to continue to run these phenomenal events.

Secondly a great big thanks for our Judge, who though he was unfamiliar with some of the Vintage card interactions did a great job responding to every call he had to make.

Thirdly, thanks to Sam for providing delicious cupcakes for everyone!

Finally thanks to everyone who came out for the event. Every one of these events has shown that the format is not only still alive and well, but has plenty of growth potential. Every event I've run has shown more new faces and I hope this trend continues.

We had 38 people attend this event, and had a greatly diverse meta game and a lot of great players. Congratulations to Marco Farrugia who took home the beta time vault, and to Jesse Martin who fought a great fight in the finals narrowly missing the 1st place prize.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next event which will be announced soon.
