Rules

This competition is MTGO-based. You may play games with real/proxied decks in person but you must have your deck built on MTGO. The banned list is set in such a way to make the construction of MTGO decks very cheap (anything 1 tix or over is banned).  Anyone is welcome to enter.  If it's a success perhaps we will run others with a small entry free and (even) better prizes.

[Simon O'Keeffe]

Simon 2-0 Ben

Simon 2-0 Kieran

And I'm done, unless Pete appears.

[Louis Mackie]

I lost to Nick 1-2, I beat Mills 2-0

[Kieran Symington]

I need a lie down after playing Tom followed by Simon...

[Louis Mackie]

rematch vs me kieran?

[Thomas David Baker]

Well, Simon wins the tournament!  18 games won, 3 games lost.  Pretty dominating performance!

Second place is still up for grabs!

[Nick Lovett]

A victory for me VS Ben 2-0

[Kieran Symington]

Congrats to Simon. Though I still name him a traitor for abandoning his combo decks for something actually good!

 

Of course, in the hands of a scrub a similar deck would lose horribly instead. Wouldn't it Baker?

[Thomas David Baker]

Storming up the table at 2-4 there Kieran.  You'd definitely know a scrub if you saw one ...

[Paul Hodgson]

I need to get some more games in, anyone around tomorrow?

[Thomas David Baker]

I'm around today and tomorrow as it is Thanksgiving in the US.  Games on Friday?!

[Paul Hodgson]

Sure, what time?

[Thomas David Baker]

Are you working tomorrow?  I'm meeting Kieran at mine some time in the morning for shenanigans.  Three is the worst number for Magic but maybe there are students or other loafers available?  If not, it's still Magic.

Or, any time, if you are working :)
