That's some nice prize support there.

First prize... 600+ dollars...

[Twinkee]

I don't know if that's quite right... on their website they say it's a play set of duals. Maybe he meant you get to choose your play-set of duals.

Confusion ensues.

[umbowta]

I don't see the confusion. Their last event was for 4x Mana Drain and 30 people showed up to play. Even if only 30 show up, at 25$ per entry, that's enough to cover the 40 duals and the foil Delta's.

Looks like I might try to convince the wife to celebrate the New Year in Chicago.

We will continue to schedule Vintage and Legcay tournaments with this type of prize support while there is interest. Please pass along this info to anyone you know who might be interested - let's keep the community for these great formats growing!!

Somebody sent us up the bomb?

1st place is definitely 40 revised dual lands. Anyone who can should try and make this event.

Update: This tournament will be DCI sanctioned.

[Anarky87]

I might head up there for this if I can get some people to crash with.

[Roberto Clemente]

Shit, I'm not sure if I could pass this up. Haven't played in forever so I'm rusty as hell, but for 40 duals I could risk embarassing myself.

[Complete_Jank]

Now to see if I can find a flight for under $200.

[Hanni]

Anyone wanna split hotel costs?

[emidln]

I think I'm going to be able to make this one. I hope I can since it's been a long time since you could see the Sun Tower in the Windy City.

[Vincent]

I'll be there for sure, Mr. Big, you need a place the crash the night before?

[MrBig]

Event is 3 days away. I hope many of you will be able to attend.

Finals

Goblins beat Angel Stompy in the finals.

[AnwarA101]

This looks like a pretty typical tournament, but I'm kind of glad to see that Goblins wasn't half of the Top8 especially since 2 Threshold decks made Top8. But what happened to the combo? Iggy Pop or Solidarity seem like they might have had a chance but I guess the Threshold decks and perhaps a few Deadguy decks kept them in check. Madness makes another Top8? How did Angel Stompy lose to Goblins?

[nitewolf9]

Silly angel stompy, goblins doesn't have bad matchups...
