TWD - Justicar Retribution V, Finland (July 1st 2012)

Justicar Retribution V: Tombstone Shadow
Helsinki, Finland
July 1st 2012
3R+F
20 Players
Winner: Matias Frosterus
(Final timeouted, otherwise out of the 12 games, 5 ended in timeouts)

I'll gather that Matias will post his winning deck to the forum soon.

Thanks for everyone attending, especially the ones that once again came from other domains.


Congrants to Matias for yet another win!
Sorry for the attempted backoust after I had ruined my own game with the rather stupid and unnecessary near-lunge. Then again you, as my predator, were the first seed player and I didn't see much future for me in the game after that so I tried to take whatever opportunity of I had for surviving any longer in the game...

Ah, sorry.
I guess that I did not fix those after opening Archon as I thought I would...

Silly me.

Here's the TWD:

Deck Name : Mora AKA Princes Outsource Their Stealth
Author : Matias
Description : The idea is to be able to consistently bleed for four at three stealth and then I added the ridiculously good defense module of Second Tradition. You need one vampire with superior obfuscate and then preferably a different vampire with the Prince title and presence since veiling and playing Second Tradition and Majesty takes blood. Parity Shift because why not - the easiest vote to negotiate through.

Huge thanks to Lönkka for organizing the tournament and also naturally to my opponents! One more win needed for the Hall of Fame...

Absolutely no apologies needed, it was definitely the right play since Marko promised you a VP for it and you were higher seed than him. Though getting drained to one pool certainly gave me a grey hair or two. OTOH it allowed me to Parity Shift, so it was all good, I suppose

Special thanks for the music, also!

Some pics Marko and Jarkko took with Marko's phone.

My camera wasn't available and was just plain busy to try to take low quality pics with my phone.



General view of the finals.
Clockwise from the bottom: Janne, Timo, Aleksi, Marko and Matias.



Same dudes, different angle.



View of the playars towards Marko's prey.
So that is Matias up close then Janne and finally Timo on the right.

Actually noticed that I did manage to take one pic during the tournament.


Here's Tuomas "Tube" Vuokko with infernally gleaming red eyes as is only approproiate for such a baali fanboy...
