Vintage at GP Cleveland Results - 3/15

[GrandpaBelcher]

Twelve players put on their dancin' shoes for a sanctioned Vintage side event at GP Cleveland on Sunday. In the end, four remained. Despite the smallish turnout, the TO paid out as advertised. Thanks to everyone who showed up and to the judges who hung out with us. We'll look forward to doing another at future Ohio GPs.

Thanks to TJ Collectibles for helping us Organize!

I like how you felt terrible about that UB Gush Dig list last night when I was crushing you, and then I absolutely bombed straight out today while you took second.

A well executed facade. I am impressed.

Kudos to TJ's Collectibles for helping us run a Vintage event at the GP. It was a blast!

And for the second time in a row, Charles Rolko knocked me out of contention with dredge. I swear the kid is a machine.

Props to all who came to do battle.

I was thinking about that today. I feel bad for everyone I told my deck seemed bad. It played just fine all day. I'm sorry you all had to listen to my doubts. I'm also glad I only brought 75 cards for the weekend.

Ha! The old Jedi mind trick.....

Thanks for the report, Nat.

Do you plan to write about your deck?  I'd be interested to hear about how it played, why you moved away from Green/Fastbond like the build you previously wrote about (http://legitmtg.com/competitive/the-vintage-advantage-digging-up-wins/), etc.
