2011 Australian LCQ Tournament Report and TWD

Fifteen players descended on Adelaide to make their mark in what is not only the last chance to qualify but also to assess the opposition and get into their V:tES groove for the following day. Numbers weren't helped by the weekend coinciding with the AFL grand final, but the competition was fierce nonetheless, with many tables timing out and a GW worth its weight for getting to onto the final table. Plenty of combat and tricks decks as players were predominately already qualified.

For a report from the Price of Brisbane's perspective.

Oops, that's what I get for transcribing a deck in between Chrononauts turns.

The crypt includes 2x Neighbor John. That makes 12.

While I'm here, thanks to Aaron for running a tight, fun tournament. Thanks to Hugh for putting a bunch of us up for the two nights, and even suffering parking tickets!

(edit) Now that I look at the decklist again, I realize it WAS 90 cards. Pentex Subversion was left off--I must have made up the decklist after taking out PS to put in my deck for the Nats the next day
