12/12 Die Hard Games: THE BIG ONE

[Dxfiler]

People wanted my thread titles to be shorter, so there you go :p

2009 has been a great run of legacy tournaments for DHG, and 12/12 is a culmination of them. This tournament is our way of saying thanks to the Legacy community for the phenomenal support you've shown the store.

This is truly...

[KillemallCFH]

I have a final on the 12th. :cry:

Best of luck with this tournament though. Good to see so many (and by so many I mean 2) big-sized tournaments going on in New England. I really hope this trend continues.

[Morphling420]

Why do you insist on going head to head with furthur tour WTF is wrong with you!! lol
You should be on tour with me in the van that week. We could rage with a bunch of booze and bitches!@!@!
This Date needs to be changed. Please I really want to make it but that weekend is impossible.

[socialite]

In!

[Moby Dick]

I'm more excited about this than I am about turning 20 the same week...

[sunshine]

Sweet, and many many thanks for shortening the title (was that intended to be a Phyrexian Dreadnought reference btw? If so mad props) - I'll definitely be there.

[jazzykat]

While I can't attend your tournament, I like your prize structure for the top 8 such that if you make it that far, you win something substantial.

[Gaius Darkfire]

Dave you're killing me. Much as I would love to be there, that is the Saturday before finals week for me. Best of luck with this one, I'm very glad to see that these are doing well.

It wouldn't be a Feinstein tournament thread without someone popping in and complaining about the date... even when there's absolutely no other tournaments on it.

Thanks for keeping tradition alive :p

No seriously sorry to hear you can't make it Eli. I can't move the date, but I hope you have a good time at the concert.

As for people with finals... skip them! :tongue:

You'll be there in spirit Harlan.

Dave I'm sorry I missed the last one but I will definitely be there for this one.

[Romanus]

Sooooo in.

[tgDC$]

Man I wish the west coast would show as much love for legacy like the east coast does =/

I would pay Dave $25 or $24(If he gives me another dollar discount) to see him "rage with a bunch of booze and bitches."
Im skeptical if Dave would after seeing his disapproval of that heavy set black woman on the KFC commercial shown before watching UFC. :laugh:

I am so in for this, even if it is the week before finals haha.

[Madmaniac21]

Oi. Looked at the prize pool. Guess I'll have to set aside that day. Esp with teh early start time, wee.

[TheDeadMan]

Start Time: 12 Noon

Lies, no magic tourney has ever started on time and I don't think this will be any diffrent than those in the past, though I do have it from a reliable source that decks w/o kird apes will be auto DQed.

[FlyingSkull13]

if i can get a car for that date, i'll b there

[T-ORGANIZER]

It wouldn't be a Feinstein tournament thread without someone popping in and complaining about the date.

How did I get thrown in there?

Sweet, been a long time since I've seen me some Caleb.

[Dxfiler]

You didn't.

Morphling420 is also named Eli.

I've never mentioned your name in any of my posts, but if I ever do it would be by Eli Kasis or T-organizer.

Hope that cleared up confusion.

- Dave

[TrialByFire]

Holy prize support batman. Fuckin in. Team Awesome who 'poolin?

[IsThisACatInAHat?]

Will try to make it with 1 or 2 people.

[TheDeadMan]

Hopefully after long trial and error, i'll finally have my deck hammered out for this tourney. Buying cards then changing the deck around ftl.

[Joe_C]

I'm more excited about this than I am about turning 20 the same week...

Dear god does that make me feel old.....

Im in for this also! Thank you Dave for picking a date I can make it!!!!!

[Dxfiler]

No problem, thank you for supporting my tournaments =D

I have pics up of everything. Prizes so big they couldn't fit in one photo! :p

Looking forward to this very much. Actually starting signups at 10:00.

I would highly recommend getting to the store early because parking will be tricky with the farmer's market rolling in for the winter. The upside is while you're waiting for the tourney to start you can stroll out into the hallway and visit dozens upon dozens of vendors. It's quite a sight.

Of all the tournaments I ran since taking over the store in May, this is the one I'm honestly looking forward to the most. This caps the year off for tournaments that I've enjoyed running and had success with. Will be adding more things to this tournament, so stay tuned '_'

Thanks again.

Highest profit margin? :p

[ForceofWill]

I'm coming but seriously find better pizza or this might be my last DHG tournament.

[Dxfiler]

I'm coming but seriously find better pizza or this might be my last DHG tournament.

I'm sorry you aren't happy with the free pizza provided last time.

I don't know who I'm going with yet for food, but I go with whoever gives me the best deal. Free lunch is not free for me :p

You are the only person to complain about Little Caesar's (although I give you points for doing it in two different threads :p), and the pizza I used for my first couple legacy's was someone different and I had complaints, which is why I tried someplace new.

As mentioned in the other thread where you brought up the concern, I'm going to try to get the best food/deal available. No idea at this time what pizza place it will be.

If the people I went with last time (Little Caesar's) give me best deal this time, that's who I'll go with. I'm still looking around for teh right pizza... plus possibly calzones. :x

I'll do what I can to make the most people happy, but I can't please everyone.

If you end up not coming back to my events over free lunch, sorry.

- Dave Feinstein

[Swing4Five]

I'm coming but seriously find better pizza or this might be my last DHG tournament.

Seriously? You joking?
Find a delivery place to order your own from then.
www.maps.google.com
www.foodler.com

I'll be there.

[Dilettante]

I'll try to make it... and bring perhaps 2-3 other players with me.

[ForceofWill]

You could charge less for entry and not give free pizza ;).

Indeed it did, sorry it's just such a rare name I don't often see other's with it.

[Maagler]

I really wanted to make this one :/ going to the army navy game the same day...

[Joe_C]

Bring it

[rockout]

You'd be able to check it if our free forum wasn't being moved to a new server. Does it really take 4 days to move server, god they are slow.

[That nice guy]

Holy shit! Team awesome is bringing about 8 people who are all destroying my house over night. I rescheduled a final exam for this shit so needless to say I am looking forward to this. This should be epic.

P.S. Thanks for the great pizza. :smile:

I wont be making it to your house the night before but will be taking Matt and Kolan with me to the tournament. Let the Reign of Awesome begin

[Dxfiler]

Proud to announce this will be my first 24-k sanctioned tournament. :smile:

Been an advanced level TO for a while, but waited to put request in for higher K value until a really special event came along that warranted it. For me this was it. I was approved and as a result this event will be 24K.

While it's competitive level rel, the emphasis will still be on fun.

I'm sincerely looking forward to this one more than anything I've run since becoming a store owner.

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and see you on the 12th.

[Rod Of Ruin]

I'm coming but seriously find better pizza or this might be my last DHG tournament.

Q: What do the gynecologist and the Pizza deliveryman have in common?
A: They both get to smell the goods but neither one of them can eat it.

-:laugh:

[Dxfiler]

Attached a miniature version of my flyer to the original post in case someone wants one. Posting flyers around the store. Very excited for the combination of RI States and this back-to-back. :smile:

Still working on some last minute additions for The Big One. Have a couple things in mind but for now they will remain surprises.

Stay tuned.

- Dave

[Unknown13]

Looking like a few of us from CT should be showing up for this thing.

[Dxfiler]

sounds good =D

It's the holiday season, and I like giving away stuff :p

So I decided to add another $50 in bonus prizes...

DHG Bonus prizes: $50 for 50!

If 50 or more entrants show, $50 in store credit will be added and divided as follows:

$30 Thanks for always being there prize:

There have been 4 players who attended all four of my Saturday legacy tournaments since I took the store over in May. Sam Wang, Tom MacDonald, Rod Cordoba and Dana Renfrew. The highest placing player of these 4 will win $30 store credit in addition to any other prizes won.

$10 Kird Ape prize:

Highest placing finisher with Kird Ape in their deck or sideboard will win $10 store credit in addition to any other prizes won. You can even play just one copy if you want.

$10 Nice to meet you prize:

Highest placing new player will receive $10 store credit in addition to any other prizes won. New player is defined as someone who has not played in one of my prior 4 Saturday Legacy tournaments this year. If you've been meaning to come down but couldn't for whatever reason... come on down!

--------------

Saw local tourneys not getting the crowds they thought they would lately. I'm confident this will be my biggest Legacy tourney ever, but I wanted to add a little more prize just to sweeten the deal.

Thanks again for supporting my events.

This will probably be my final update before the tournament.

See you Saturday :smile:

Just think if you win store credit, you can celebrate by buying cigars!
You just won't be able to use store credit on them since I don't sell cigars :p

Speaking of side events, I have some special ones planned. :cool:

Will do mah famous $12 sanctioned drafts. For those not familiar, I usually pay out to top 4 people in these single elim drafts. I do a goody table of type 2 prizes and we have alot of fun on Wed. If any go off Sat, I will pay out prizes to all top 8 of each draft.

Also if I don't get 60 people for the main event, I plan on doing side events for those fetchlands. The hope is I just get 60 so I can pay out to top 16.

Remember past 60 people I'll add even more prizes :eek:

One final reminder on the time:
I'll be starting at 12 noon sharp on the button. For real :p

For past tourneys I'd be able to wait for latecomers, but it can't be done for The Big One. I'm opening doors at 10, a full 2 hours before start time. I would recommend being here by 11:30 to give yourself time to do decklists, trades, buying things from me :p

Round 1 will go up at noon, so please be here before then.

Was able to get additional room for this event should I need it. Have my staff ready. Have prizes ready. I'm ready :laugh:

See you Saturday.

didn't see that one coming did ya.

[scrumdogg]

Thinking of attending, anyone going from Worcester with an extra seat in the car & a desire to split the gas money +1 send me a PM

[J.V.]

So Dave Feinstein, guess what, I AM going to make this one. I think Ben Lukas should get some kind of door prize for making me go.

Nice Job Ben, just better hope I don't have to rape you in the Swiss again.

24K + My Rating = bad times for you

It's weird to win a tournament and lose points.

[Dxfiler]

I never had any doubt you were coming :laugh:

As I type this it's 3AM. I have gotten hordes of cards just for tomorrow.

Loaded up on singles. Will do whatever I can to help people finish decks.

Just please come early, because parking will be a challenge thanks to the farmer's market. My building had like 6 different parking lots but it will still take you some time to park more than likely.

Give yourself time to settle in, do your decklist (if you aren't bringing one) and whatever else you need to do. I'm encouraging people to get here by 11:30. Round 1 will be up at noon.

That's all I have. I must go back to sorting cards for another hour or so, then sneak in some sleep. I normally don't sleep much for my big events. This is my biggest event of the year so it's only fitting I get no sleep :smile:

See you in the morning :wink:

-Dave

[FlyingSkull13]

Good luck with this one dave, i'm still searching for a car, hopefully b out there soon enough :)

[Jaynel]

Any updates?

[J.V.]

Any updates?

I know Enchantress, Thopter/Sword Counterbalance (x2?), and Mono Red Goblins (x2?) Top 8'd.

[Dxfiler]

Tourney was fun. 40 people on teh button.

Top 4 split all the blue duals.

5th-8th got more duals,


I still gave out bonus store credit prizes despite not getting 50 people.

top 4 was:
Jon Ma /w Merfolk
Kevin Correia /burn
Sam Wang /w Enchantress
Jason Bourque /w Goblins

I'm so very tired. But had a great time and I hope everyone else did.

Will have pics/decklists up in a day or two.


Thanks :)

[That nice guy]

Tournament sucked
Pizza was shit
Dave is a horrible TO
I will not come again
It's not backwards day

lolz, what an asshole!

This was a very fun tourney, and Daves prize support was nuts. I REALLY hope he has another. The meta was very fun and diverse.

I played
Round 1 Brassman top artifact crap with annoying Academy ruins :frown:
Round 2 Ichorid
Round 3 Fairy Stompy
Round 4 Combo
Round 5 WGB control/agro
Round 6 Zoo

@ brassman, sweet altered cards man! Keep it up!

This was durring finals and Xmas mania for everyone I knew, so many people didn't go. Also there were some big vintage tourneys which I think sponged people from this shit.

[J.V.]

Oh another deck I just remember that was in top 8 was GWB Rock

[PlatinumHellkite]

I was playing Zoo and made top 8.

[Rod Of Ruin]

Thanks Dave for another memorable competition & for the set of Savannah. It was unbelievable when my Stingscourger's bounced Dreadnought turns 2-4 but only to delay an inevitable trample due to a 4th stifle! That was my favorite predicament among many epic battles.

[TrialByFire]

I was playing Sam Wang and would have made top 8 (playing Tempo Thresh) but I fail at keeping Goyf's power updated and he ended the game at 1 life. I feel like a noob

[ssw]

At least the whole day wasn't a fail bro. I continued my streak of losing rating points at these tournaments - except this time it wasn't with a top 8 finish :cry: .

[Dxfiler]

Today is mah day off. So without further ado here are the top 8 decklists with pics... and a special announcement at the bottom :cool:
