@chags-I know john and nick will be at the vestal tourny to try and qualify for junes invitational and ill be in florida for vacation/scg orlando. That leaves only two possible other worc crews, gabe and his crew, and allan race (who you prob don't know) and his crew. And id bet both of those crews will be attending this but I could be wrong.

I know Alan but not the rest of his crew. Last I knew Gabe was considering attending. Its all good though I roped a few people into coming. Kick ass in scg Orlando.

If anyone from Boston/Newton can give me a ride to Plainville this Sunday, I'll be glad to join this GPT.
Let me know via private message, and of course I'll compensate for the gas.
Thank you in advance.

36 People.

Top 4 was Team Italia, 2xTeam America, 1x URW with stoneforge control with batterskull.

Nice event, with Team Americas getting the byes.

I played Fabiano's list but -1 Vindicate, -1 Figure, +1 Divining Top, +1 Ranger of Eos.
Throughout the day people were asking how the deck was working for me, and I must say it was a lot of fun to play. Figure of destiny was amazing, and would often swing for four a turn. My loss in swiss and top four was to Team America, and that seems like a terrible matchup. Terravore is just absurd, and there is too much removal to ever equip anything. Mental Misstep makes the game very uncomfortable as is basically means that even on the play you are really on the draw. Ranger of Eos is amazing at winning attrition wars, but unfortunately those wars often involve wasteland, so getting him out is no easy task. It does seem that the deck kinda folds to tarmogoyf, and maybe splitting bolts and swords main could be correct.

Either way, great event. Prize was $125 Store Credit and 1/4 Booster box to top 4, and of course the 3 byes to first and second.
