This tournament started out as discussion between me and Janne Lönnqvist (NC for Finland) about how having bigger prizes for a tournament would affect play (and if it would have any effect). We decided to do a test of sorts, and arranged for this tournament. Entry fee was higher than normal (20e), but the winner would get a full set of //Legacies of Blood// rares, with other prizes (t-shirt, action figure, art prints) for the other finalists. We gave the tournament an appropriate name, and told everyone "bring the best cheese you've got". | This tournament started out as discussion between me and Janne Lönnqvist (NC for Finland) about how having bigger prizes for a tournament would affect play (and if it would have any effect).

Well, we got it, at least for some definition of "cheese". We also got somewhat fewer players than normal, 17 vs the more usual 25-30 -- obviously, the higher entry fee had some detrimental effect. I was also playing and not judging full-time (we used the multi-judge system, as usual in smaller tournaments), so I didn't see how all the games played out and can only comment on my own games. On the other hand, with only 17 players I did get to see a fair selection of the decks. I didn't see all that much difference to a "normal" tournament, except maybe a somewhat higher number of power bleed decks and perhaps a slight bit more "polish" in decks. There was one Imbued deck, which almost made it to the finals (Otso, the player, placed at #6). I saw a few Inner Circle -powered decks, maybe less than I had expected; after all, this was the last chance to play //Protect Thine Own//. Lots of Dominate-heavy decks, but that's par for the course. | Well, we got it, at least for some definition of "cheese".
