It would be nice if someone who was there could give us a brief overview of the meta outside of the top8 and on the attendance.
From what I can tell, whis event was a little strange... Counterslivers batteling through 1 to 2 Landstill lists, Green Stompy, Black Sui and Burn top8, only one ******** list... generally I really don't like what I see there. The list I despise the least is that 4c Landstill list with Cunning Wish, but that also only because I have fiddled with something similar just about a month ago. Please you people who were there, don't take any offense, but these lists just do look strange to me.

All I want to know is how 'Hooks got through 2x Landstill and 1x Burn in the T8. The only difference from the old UGW lists that Infoninjas ran a couple months ago is the addition of stifle / wasteland, yet I cannot see how that would take whan we tested to be an extremely negative matchup (read: TONS of games tested) and make it positive. Burn was always a slightly negative matchup too, and essense sliver out of the board was always found to be too slow against burn.

Team Info-Ninjas: Catchphrases so secret, I don't even know what they are!
I'm surprised that Nourishing Lich didn't make a top 8 appearance. I've been getting tons of PMs from people from Europe, especially Spain, telling me that they were going to build the deck. Does anyone know how many people attended the tournament? @Der - Can you list every deck that was played by name? I'm kind of curious as to what the metagame looks like in that region.
Well, I don't know very much about the event because I couldn't go, but I can talk a little bit about the meta. It's a mix of random, control and aggro, Threshold isn't so played as it is in the US (I mean, there is people who actually don't play threshold here), combo is almost inexistant (you may rarely find somebody playing IGGy or Aluren). Pikula and discard is popular in Madrid.
Anyway, there isn't a great Legacy internet community, so we don't really have a defined metagame, most of legacy players are extended/vintage players, however there isn't very much people focused on Legacy, there are some eternal clubs who support Legacy just like a Vintage's little brother. Anyway, there are very good players, but his main interest is Standard or Vintage, so they're not very fond on what's played out there in other countries...
We tried to copy the Source, but then we realized we're spanish
If my post results dumb or offensive, it's probably just me miserably failing at being ironic in a foreign language

It's always possible that they only faced one Landstill deck in the T8. They could have dodged the other and Burn. Am I missing where the top 8 pairings were listed? I can easily see them overcoming a single terrible matchup... sometimes you get good draws and your opponent just gets screwed.
Unless they were also planning on paying everyone else to not attend the event, I'm not sure why you equated people playing Lich with people T8ing with Lich.....
That's an ignorant thing to say. Nourishing Lich top8ed in a tourney in Germany a few months back. I've also gotten a dozen PMs from people in Europe concerning the deck over the past couple months. Maybe you should become more aware of things before posting facetious comments that only irritate a magnificent man such as myself.
Meathooks FTW! Well done, David!
More details, please. How many people were there? Also, I look forward to a tourney report.
Team Info-Ninja: Shhh... We don't exist.
I'm Jaime Cano the 4C Landstill players. There were only 45 people due to the bad prize-cost relation. I top4 and only received 5 packs and a Cunning Wish Foil, same than the people who top8ed.
David played in top 8 against the 2 landstill decks. I believe that it is not a hard matchup for me, but I had a play mistake that cost me the 3rd game in semifinals. Also he opened with Vial-Cristaline in the two games that won, and I never cast Pernicious Deed.
There were a lot of decks there: 5-6 Landstill, 5-6 Goblins, 5-6 Threshold, Eternal Garden, Fish, MBC, PiKuLa, Tarmoburn, some burn decks, some survival decks and a little combo, 1-2 Solidarity and Iggy.
