If you can have the tournament on a different day, then I'll be glad to come back down for another great event.
I had a lot of fun at this past event, probably had something to do with a Top 8, but it would of been fun anyways.
I got to pick up some classic magic cards in addition to playing Legacy all day.
Look forward in seeing a lot of the same people at The Source tourney in a few weeks.
Duel for duals? You mean the 100 dual lands for top 8? Which is a very heafty prize structure. Or a dual land draft, which is 40 duals for the top 8.
YAY,
Nice store, and pleasent people running the event. I would deffinitely like to see a monthly/every other month tournament here.
I didn't do so hot at this event (too many ties), but I did enjoy the tournament quite a bit. My deck deffinitly didn't fail me, as two of those ties were wins if I had like 2-3 more turns :rolleyes: I just need more practice with my deck and I should do fine.
I do think it's amazing that counterslivers is making T8 so often. I would also have to agree with Nightmare, EPIC Painter is deffinitely the real deal making T8 again. I am anticipating the meta breakdown. I played a different deck every round. I really like a healthy format :smile: My only gripe is that very few T8's are actually played out.

The tournament had a lot of different decks which was nice to see. It was very hard to predict, thats why I just played the deck which I felt is the best in the format.

24 of a possible 32 Goyfs in the top 8. Only one deck running green opted not to run Goyf.
Lots of Force of Will in that top 8 too...6 playsets out of a possible 8.
FoW is not a win con
True. I was simply pointing out that this was an extremely FoW-heavy top 8, completely devoid of non-FoW combo (TES, FT, etc) and other, non-survival, niche decks (Chalice aggro, Loam, Ichorid, Enchantress, GoyfSligh). It would be interesting to see a full metagame breakdown if anybody has the time to actually do one.Quote:

I sent him a PM for his address. Soon as I hear back I will mail him the decklists. Is january 10th a good day for our next one everybody?
I was just currious, how is the meta breakdown coming along?
Congrats on the finish Matt.
All the info. is in tartell's hands, according to him it should be done soon. I decided on the second saturday in dec. for our next big tournament. It's already posted in the tournament announcements forum, lets make this next one even better than the last!
After this tournament a translucent king piece from one of our expensive chess sets went missing. The chess set is worth over $100 and we can't sell it without the king, if anyone took it please return it. We won't get angry or care that you took it, its not worth anything on its own, but we would greatly appreciate it being returned and would even consider giving a reward.
