TWD - Lärvälauantai

Event: Lärvälauantai (I'm afraid this might not be the correct name of the event; couldn't find it in the event calendar... I hope Oko will correct me if I got the name wrong.)
Sonera-talo, Tampere, Finland.

Winning player: Otso Saariluoma

Deck Name: Gun Control (Means Hitting the Target)
Author: Otso Saariluoma
Description:
CEL GUN princes with Infernal Pursuit. The deck builds on previous versions by Erik, Hugh, and Adam. In retrospect, I'd add a few Infernal Pursuits and change the 1-caps for something useful.

Created with Secret Library v0.9.3. (May 1, 2012 17:34:38)

I don't remember the exact ranks after the preliminary rounds, but I was the top seed going into finals with 2 gws and perhaps 7,5 vps or something. The seating order in the finals was:

Juri J. (Ahrimanes)
--> me / Otso S. (CEL GUN)
--> Tuomas N. (Hannibal DEM OBF bleed)
--> Tuomas S. (Samedi/Followers of Set Reanimated Corpses)
--> Pauli K. (G4-5 Nosferatu Royalty)

The bleed decks started going forward and I had some skirmishes with the Ahrimanes, which resulted in both parties losing some blood. Pretty soon Tuomas S., Pauli and Juri were all struggling to maintain their position. Tuomas N. and Pauli agreed that their best chance would be to oust the other Tuomas and then collaborate to oust Juri and me with Kindred Spirits and votes. Neither of them really drew the cards needed to hurt me and they ended up ousting first Tuomas S. and then Juri J. with the few votes Pauli drew. The three-player game stayed stable for some time, but after a while I drew into my Haven Uncovereds and crippled Tuomas N. and ousted him soon afterwards with Fame and Dragonbound. In the heads-up with Pauli I played Pentex on Baron Dieudonne with Ivory Bow and Haven-rushed Alonzo Petrodon into torpor, thus winning with 3 vps.

Fun games, fun times. Thanks to everybody participating!

Congratulations! Would it be possible to get a deck list of the FoS/Samedi deck? Me and some others have discussed that combo and it'd be fun to see a version that's made it to a final.
