Legacy/Vintage Split Results - Comic Town, Columbus

This tournament was a lot of fun. Nineteen gamers showed up to test their skill in the Eternal formats, playing three rounds of Legacy and three rounds of Vintage before cutting to a top eight of Legacy. Legacy players seemed to enjoy testing the Vintage waters, and Vintage players enjoyed seeing some of the broken plays available in the other format as well.

We'll plan on another one of these later in the summer and then every few months or so. We'll alternate between starting and ending in Legacy and Vintage, so the next one will have three rounds of Vintage and a Vintage finals.

The next Comic Town tournament is all Vintage! The Saturday of SCG Columbus: http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=46236.0

2. Riley Curran - Elves!/URg Landstill
