[Lincoln, RI] Sat 3/10 DHG Buncha Duals Tourney- THE RETURN! Up to 32 Duals prize!

[bfeingersh]

Turns out I'll be there, playing a deck I've never touched. Anyone have 2 Scavenging Ooze I can trade for/borrow?

[Dxfiler]

Had about 60 players in the store Friday night... which is suspiciously high for Mid-March

Alot of out of towners are already in town, which is awesome. I have seating up for 86. Can do 100 at max capacity if need be. We've done it before

Couple last minute things worth mentioning:

1) Google Maps still lists DHG at our old address of 1005 main st. in pawtucket. Don't go there.

2) We reserve the right to time top 8, and in all honesty it will probably happen. I will mostly likely do 1 hour for top 8. I know timed top 8's are not usually popular, but I do what I have to do to make sure we end in a timely fashion. I have a ptq the next day and I have to be up at the crack of dawn (just like I am right now ).

3) We're starting at noon. For reals. Calling me stating you'll be late will not stop penalties. If you're running late, just show up and I'll do everything I can to get you in the tourney , but showing up past 11:50 is playing with fire because I'm very serious about getting this event up and running at noon.

This is my serious face

Lol.

Anywho, I'm massively looking forward to today. I need to get my 5 hours of sleep right now, but I will be at the store for 10:30 and you can definitely come as early as then if you're in the area.

Here's to hopefully one hell of a weekend of Magic!

Dave u can look up dci numbers correct? I havent played since 2009 and dont remember mine anymore.

[Swing4Five]

I took 6th with the following list:

1 Sword of Feast and Famine
4 Knight of the Reliquary
4 Mother of Runes
4 Noble Hierarch
2 Qasali Pridemage
2 Scavenging Ooze
2 Stoneforge Mystic
2 Brainstorm
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Umezawa's Jitte
3 Geist of Saint Traft
2 Vendilion Clique
2 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
4 Green Sun's Zenith
1 Forest
1 Plains
1 Horizon Canopy
1 Maze of Ith
3 Misty Rainforest
3 Savannah
2 Tropical Island
2 Tundra
3 Wasteland
4 Windswept Heath

3 Ethersworn Canonist
2 Choke
2 Wheel of Sun and Moon
2 Path to Exile
3 Spell Pierce
1 Gaddock Teeg
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Tower of the Magistrate

Well almost, that's what I had written down anyways. I couldn't find 2 of the Ethersworn Canonist's last minute and played 2 Enlightened Tutors instead.

Deck list mismatch meant I had a game loss going into the top 8, and played pretty loose in the game I did have; I guess I pretty much mentally checked out. Oh well, still took home a set of Scrublands.

[FlyingSkull13]

excellent tourney Dave, sorry mine ended like it did, i learned to check my own pairings :D either way i hope we do not have to wait long for the next one.

Good Show, and i cant wait for the next one

[Stooghenstein]

Do you have top 8 report for this

[rxavage]

excellent tourney Dave, sorry mine ended like it did, i learned to check my own pairings :D either way i hope we do not have to wait long for the next one.

Good Show, and i cant wait for the next one

Don't assume it's a pair down... Ever. Thats what I took from that incident. I ended up losing to stingscourgers the round after we played and dropped. I still feel bad that happened to you though.

I had a blast running this event and sincerely thank all of you for attending it. It was a terrific lead-in to our Modern PTQ the next day that drew 135 players :o

Special Thanks to judge Tim Gagne for judging on the entire weekend. You Da Man.

Will be doing this again with a bunch more duals (recently picked me up a bunch of seas ;-) and will have more news on that when I get it.

Thanks again!

- Dave

[moscowdemon]

Was absolutely the most fun I have had judging a legacy event yet. Even as the lone judge of an 85 person legacy event, it was very easy going with few problems. It was a blast to judge for all you who attending and hope to see you guys again!

btw, Cicio's deck is the nuts ;)

[Awesomator]

I am Jason Richardson

For those who are wondering....

There should be 4 Savannah, 1 more Scavenging Ooze, and one Sword of Light and Shadow (Didn't have them, and they would have made life much easier). Null rod should be a Stony Silence (duh).Thrun was Josh Cicio's idea, and it came through huge in multiple matchups.

[wweenieking]

Thanks for the props Tim and Jay. Unfortunately Tim, I just copied the deck. I pretty much didn't test it, but I knew the deck was perfect because the creator of it is very good. The deck was very well positioned there and my loses were due to me mulling then proceeding to lose to sword of fire ice in both my match loses. I can't complain much, I did lose round one and win out.

Jay, you had a sick tournament esp considering you were very drunk the night before and barely slept. Well besides playing slower than I thought was humanly possible in top 4 and the two games in the finals. Haha

[Jdombek22]

I'm Jeremy 1st / 2nd place finisher. Just wanted to thank Dave for another great tourney, gotta try and have these more often ;). Anyways nothing fancy here, the UW Blade deck is still the nut but t8 should nottt be timed IMO. It's quite unfair if you're playing that list, and I play it pretty fast tbh. Regardless, see you around.

I had a PTQ the next day... I said before the event in this thread that top 8 was most likely going to be timed.

Gave everyone an hour in top 8, was plenty of time. You ended up splitting with Jason after playing for 50 minutes in the finals... so IMO that part was unnecessary

Glad you had a fun time. Try to look less shady next time.

- Dave

[Awesomator]

Haha yes was very drunk the night before. Was also stuck making a lot of tough choices since I didn't have enough savannahs

[mastaj55555]

Hey guys! I'm Rob... I ran budget punishing list, which according to this got 7th place. I'm hoping this is just a typo tho xD, cuz I received the 8th place price . Anyway, great tournament, I'll be sure to play again the next time buncha duals makes its return!
