The Mana Drain Vintage League Season One Playoffs Results

[msg67183]

I played James for the first round of Playoffs, best 3/5 matches and won in 3.

I will go into detail about the games as they were streamed but I will say what I was on and what the result for each match was.

Match 1 I was on Elves and he was on Stax (with Smokestack). I won 2-0.

Match 2 I was on BUG Fish and he was on Martello. I won 2-1.

Match 3 I was on Dredge and he was on Terra Nova. I won 2-0.

I figured James would choose Workshops as this is the deck he enjoys playing the most and has the most experience with.
I had choice of play during all my matches.

Link to the matches will be up when available.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There was a sound glitch around match 3-4 that I can't seem to find so when you get to match 3 it would be best advised to turn down your sound. If you find it, please message me the time so I can add an annotation! It would be much appreciated.

Thank you Sam for devoting so much time to bringing the League to life on camera, Matt for conceiving it, and wappla for the impressive website.  It was a blast.  Looking forward to Season Two--would love to get Magus of the Future back in action since he's great television.  As much a crowd pleaser as the Dragonlords.
