24 players in Dallas, Texas on April 27. Reported by Kelly Lyons:
The Gulf Coast Roast in Dallas was a Colorado avalanche. Darby Keeney came to town and cooled the South with his Rocky Mountain Way. Darby was three for three, winning all the weekend events including the Grand Prix, leaving a chill in the Texas city. Here is a list of the final tables for all three events:
DALLAS WILL OF THE COUNCIL – FINALS:
Darby Keeney - Winner
Preston Poulter
Oscar Jose Garza III
Mark Figuerola
Adrian Ruiz
DALLAS REVOLUTIONARY COUNCIL – FINALS:
Darby Keeney - Winner
Brad Cashdollar
Norm Brown
Mark Jasper
Clint Jordan
GRAND PRIX EVENT – FINALS:
Darby Keeney - Winner
Dean Garrison
Chance Thebeau
Kelly Lyons
Brad Cashdollar
Here is Darby's Grand Prix decklist: “Defy the Edict of Worms”
“The deck is much thicker than I would like, but it's currently formatted for the Gulf Coast's (much hated) untimed finals format. The deck will eventually get better as the crypt rounds out.” (For some additional comments on the deck, check out the VEKN forum post.)

I think everyone enjoyed this event and it would be a pleasure to do it again!
On a personal point of view, I'm very proud to have organized this tournament because it was the biggest since the previous EC Paris in 2019. It was also a test in a new location, the engineer school EPITA, maybe it will be useful for other GP, FC or EC... so... see you soon guys 🙂 The French National Championship will be played on October 19 during a weekend of games in the Octogones festival – more information about that will follow.
The event was sponsored by Black Chantry Productions ans Ultra Pro. Thanks!
