We had a great turnout of 23 people for a secret, underground, split-format, playtest Eternal MTG event on 30 January, held at Comic Town in Columbus, Ohio. This event was entirely player-run and paid cash to the winners. The format was three rounds of Legacy followed by three rounds of Vintage followed by a top-eight playoff in Legacy. (Next split format event will be Vintage/Legacy/Vintage.)
Thanks to everyone who came out! We had a lot of new faces from both formats. Thanks especially to Minhajul Hoq for helping us get the word out!
After those six grueling rounds, the top eight shook out as follows (Legacy/Vintage):
1. Kurt Crane (4C Delver/Legionnaire Shops)
2. Kyle Lenox (Eldrazi Post Ramp/Dark Petition Storm)
3. Sam Krohlow (Omni Show and Tell/Dark Petition Storm)
4. Walter Hengely (4C Loam/Grixis Thieves)
5. Steven McGrew (4C Delver/Fenton Oath)
6. Nat Moes (Belcher/Dragon)
7. David Incorvati (BUG Delver/Hangarback Shops)
8. Rick Gideon (Tezz-Helm/Hellkite Sphinx)
Kurt beat Rick
David beat Kyle
Nat beat Sam
Steven beat Walter
Kurt, David, Nat, and Steven split. The party adjourned to Son of Thurman's in Delaware, Ohio.
