[Tournament] Feb. 21st 2009 Legacy DUAL FOR DUALS!!!

[Sage]

Were the results ever posted for the 2/14 - 20 proxy practice tournament?

[T-ORGANIZER]

Sorry we ended up having a smaller turnout than expected. However the top 2 decks were Merfolk and Dredge. Pretty standard lists for the top 2. There was a faerie's deck, elf survival, legacy rock, stifle naught, and a version of team america were the decks worth noting.

[T-ORGANIZER]

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. If anyone has any questions, needs directions, or gets lost. The store's phone # is (607)729-5910. I'm expecting a good turnout, right around 50 people I would say. Our FNM is standard tonight at 5:30pm if anyone was thinking of coming down the day before.

[Zach Tartell]

I just want everyone to know that I plan on winning this for one reason. Not because I'm better than you (pyshaw), nor even the fact that I'm one of G-d's Chosen people - I have caffiene charged beef jerky.

Look out, bitches.

[Brushwagg]

Lack of info being posted FTL.

[Whit3 Ghost]

Agreed.

Updates would be appreciated.

42ish players.

T8:

Breakfast vs. NOThresh, NOThresh wins.
Landstill vs. Landstill, Landstill wins (Bob).
Ichorid (Damon) vs. Pox, Ichorid wins.
Ichorid vs. Merfolk, Merfolk wins.

T4:

NOThresh vs. Ichorid, NOThresh wins.
Merfolk vs. Landstill, Merfolk wins.

T2 split.

I didn't recognize the other 3 T8 players, seems like they were locals (ie, Eli's growing his meta nicely), I wouldn't know if they were regged or not.

fuckin vaginas didn't want to draft for mana drain, so 9th through 16th just got 20 dollars store credit...

[true story]

I really love it when more than half the people at an event are playing either dreadnaught stifle or some kind thresh. Tarmogoyf is retarded (in a good way) so is Nimble Mongoose. I just wish I didn't waste 25$ to play the same sh*t over and over. My thanks go out to all the unoriginal people who play thresh every tournament. Magic is gay. I don't know why I even bother anymore...

I take it you didn't do too well then?

Weird statement since only 1 (maybe 2) of the top 8 decks had Tarmogoyf in them and none of them had Dreadnought......

[freakish777]

Wait what?

Here's the decks I saw people playing or heard were present (it's about half of the decks since there was 42 players or so):

4 Threshold (one Natural Order Threshold, 1 Canadian Threshold, 1 UGBR Threshold with Volcanic Fallout, one with SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!)
3 Ichorid
3 Merfolk
3 Landstill
2 Elves
1 Cephalid Breakfast
1 High Tide - Reset
1 Fetchland Tendrils
1 Vial Slivers
1 Aggro Loam
1 Pox
1 White Weenie
1 GoyfSligh
1 Goblins
1 Mono White Control (The deck that Jack Elgin built)

I'm sure Parcher can fill in a large number of other decks since he was constantly scouting (or Eli since he has all the deck lists). I didn't see Stifle Dreadnought at all, so unless the other 20 players who I didn't see what they were playing were all playing StifleNought and Thresh, please don't troll. That field was extremely diverse.

This was my bad. xD.

Also my bad. <3 Threshold.

The guy's name playing Merfolk in the top 8 was Anthony I believe, friend of a friend. We had it out in the last round of swiss and he managed to beat me in 3 and get in there. (poo.)

Was sweet to see some locals put up a decent showing this time.

There were at least two Dreadstill decks (if not more), I tied against Ryan playing a Uw version and my friend Dan playing Death & Taxes beat another (I think Ur or Ugr).

Pretty sure the event had 43 players.

[clavio]

Agreed. I only faced one tarmogoyf all day and no dreadnoughts. However, I did manage to face all 3 Ichorid players.

[T-ORGANIZER]

42ish players.

I didn't recognize the other 3 T8 players, seems like they were locals (ie, Eli's growing his meta nicely), I wouldn't know if they were regged or not.

I appreciate the faith. I am advising a lot of locals on how to improve on legacy and I definitely saw some improvement yesterday. Sorry about lack of updates from me as I worked 18 1/2 hours yesterday and wasn't really in my right mind. The event had 44 Players thanks to some late entrances and I will post the top 8 decklists today. Thank you everyone that came and hopefully we'll see you next month for our March 21st tournament.

Magic is a competitive game and threshold is a competitive deck so why wouldn't you expect many people to play threshold? There's really no reason to ever complain about something like this.

[T-ORGANIZER]

I am going to change the 9th through 16th place prize for the next few subsequent tournies from Draft to Legacy, but I will allow people to use different decks for these. As a result I can still do the English Drain for first and I can make a killer second place prize tbd and even a 3rd and 4th place prize for the 9th-16th place finishers. I'm told I should schedule a tourney in April, all in favor give me a yay with their favorite date of choice.
