Søndag 10. september ble det for femte gang arrangert Vintage-turnering på Escape. Turneringen tillot 15 proxy-er.
I forkant av turneringen annonserte Wizards nok en gang endringer i restricted-listen til Vintage. Denne gangen ble Monastery Mentor og Thorn of Amethyst begrenset til én kopi hver (restricted), mens Yawgmoth’s Bargain ble tatt av restricted-listen. Hele artikkelen med begrunnelser kan leses her.
Siden turneringen i juli har Monastery Mentor- og Mishra’s Workshop-strategier fortsatt dominert metagamet. Med nøkkelkort restricted fra begge disse strategiene forventet vi en økning i antall Paradoxical Outcome-decker. Det var også ventet flere Null Rod-decker, for å kjempe mot Paradoxical Outcome-strategiene.
Resultat etter fem Swiss-runder
Etter fem runder swiss var det fire spillere på ti eller flere match-poeng, og det var dermed en «clean cut» til topp fire.
- Thomas Madland (12p, 57 {15e86790dc61b00f0cb9b2e3c3642c4916064a4b03be7d146988f72171b7b782} OMW)
- Geir Magne Flyum (12p, 52 {15e86790dc61b00f0cb9b2e3c3642c4916064a4b03be7d146988f72171b7b782} OMW)
- Torgeir Lebesbye (10p, 60 {15e86790dc61b00f0cb9b2e3c3642c4916064a4b03be7d146988f72171b7b782} OMW)
- Sveinung Bjørnerud (10p, 52 {15e86790dc61b00f0cb9b2e3c3642c4916064a4b03be7d146988f72171b7b782} OMW)
Sluttspill
Tre ulike arketyper ble representert i topp fire. Thomas Madland stilte med en Bazaar of Baghdad-strategi som ikke var den normale Dredge-strategien. I stedet fokuserte decken på å spille billige dyr av Bazaar of Baghdad, i form av Basking Rootwalla og Hollow One. Sveinung Bjørnerud på sin side spilte en mer rettferdig deck i BUG Fish, som forsøker å vinne gjennom å akkumulere flere små fordeler i løpet av spillet.
I den andre semifinalen møttes Geir Magne Flyum og Torgeir Lebesbye, som for anledningen spilte samme deck. Begge spillerne hadde flere måter å vinne på, gjennom Tendrils of Agony, Time Vault pluss Voltaic Key, eller Tinker for Blightsteel Colossus.
Finalen skulle nok en gang spilles mellom Sveinung Bjørnerud og Geir Magne Flyum. I siste game ble Manglehorn og Leovold, Emissary of Trest for mye å kjempe gjennom for Paradoxical Outcome-decken. Vi gratulerer dermed Sveinung Bjørnerud med seieren.
Neste Vintage-turnering vil avholdes søndag 19. november. Vi håper å se alle der.
