This was the third of my tournaments but the first one as a prince myself. Unlike the month before, there was no need to look for a bigger venue but the 12 players fit quite nicely in our apartment.

My impression of the tournament was that there were fewer heavy bleed decks than usual and more voting. Animalism and Gangrels were a big hit, with three out of the five final decks using them to a greater or lesser degree. The gap in points between the finalists and the rest was quite clear. The seeding for the final was as follows:

1. Matias Frosterus
2. Tommi Hakomaa
3. Marko Saari
4. Jukka Pasanen
5. Lauri Salmi

The final seemed to be quite exciting and everybody survived almost until the time ran out. In the end, it was Tommi's weenie Animalism deck that took the trophy. We will provide us with a deck list and possibly also a more in-depth analysis of the final match, and perhaps of the tournament as a whole, too.

Approved

The decks were as follows:

1.Matias Frosterus - disciplineless weenie Gehenna anti-Gangrel breeders
2.Tommi Hakomaa - weenie animalism with Anarch Revolts
3.Marko Saari - Tremere Dominate with some Obfuscate and Mind Rapes
4.Jukka Pasanen - Anarch anti-Toreador stealth bleed using Chimerstry
5.Lauri Salmi - Stanislava

My Veil of Darkness spoiled lots of things including giving Tommi the oust by foiling Famed Stanislava's Earth Meld. Unfortunately I was unable to draw the rest of my discipline hate event package in the finals.

"Veil of Darkness spoiled lots of things"

Indeed it did. We didn't win because of Veil of Dorkness:

• Jukka
  
• Lauri
  
• Marko

Are we going to get the deck list for this?
