I'll be interested to see what the Dream Halls deck looks like. I have absolutely no interest in building it myself, but this is the second large tournament in (2? 3?) weeks where it made at least T8, even if the one that won in Germany looks like it's built for Extended speed.

I assume the dream halls deck won based off all of the bitching I hear coming from the thresh player.
Sorry about the poor quality, I had no time to set it up or test it.
1 Bertoncini, Alex (Ug Merfolk) vs 8 Acheson, Chris (Survival/Natural Order "Secret Bees")
2 English, Eric (Canadian Thresh) vs 7 King, Shawn (Dream Halls)
3 Gillen, Harry (Zoo) vs 6 Melnick, Michael (Mono Green Chalice)
4 Tibbetts, Jeremy (Natural Order Bant) vs 5 Rynkiewicz, James (Ichorid)
Jeremy Tibbets decides to have the T8 play out.
Chris Acheson wins
Shawn King wins
Harry Gillen wins
Jeremy Tibbets wins
Top 4:
Chris Acheson (Survival/Natural Order) vs Jeremy Tibbets (Natural Order Bant)
Shawn King (Dream Halls) vs Harry Gillen (Zoo)
Tibbets again decides to play it out.
Jeremy Tibbets (Natural Order Bant) vs Shawn King (Dream Halls)
Tibbets plays out the finals. Some live coverage on http://www.justin.tv/mtgthesource chat.
Tibbets wins 2-0 in the finals.
Nice to see someone who decides to play it out finally wins. Seems like it's usually the reverse.Quote:

Tibbets is my hero! It's always cool to be able to say "I won the tournament." eta that I don't actually know any of these people so. Just sayin.
James rynkiewicz > tibbets.
Love for frankly guys (i wanted you to win).
P-M
Went 3/4 with UGR countertop Thresh. The list was pretty awful, but there were some aspects of it I liked and I plan on developing it further.
Anyway, props/slops:
Props:
Moes
Caffeine
The Pizza Place Next Door
Jupiter Games. Store is baller as fuck.
People who loaned me the random stuff I needed to finish my deck
Black Sabbath
Flight of the Conchords
Nick for copiloting
Fucking Catchphrase.
Slops:
Saneteria Springs or whatever it is for not being Saratoga Springs.
My first round opponent topdecking into Pridemage, Pridemage, Heirarch, Path to Exile in consecutive turns immediately after I reset the board position. I drew a Daze and a land. Whoopie.
My driver side windshield wiper spray for malfunctioning the whole drive out.
Me for taking a shitty deck without the requisite amount of testing.
The Jets. The Cowboys. The Avalanche.
This was a lot of fun today. I hadn't played against that 3 color Reanimator until today though, and it was a roll of the dice for me. Awful match without Chalice @ 1 turn 1.
The Abyss does not kill Sphinx of the Steel Wind, and that's sad.

Agreed. I always wonder why some events, like Meandeck Open, have a top 8 split. :confused: Makes me wonder if people actually like playing this game.Quote:

Splitting gives us more time to spend with the friends that we came up to see, while also giving us the ability to wind down from the tournament.
