TWD: Swedish ECQ

First off I'd like to thank everyone attending the Swedish ECQ this year. This year was probably the year with the highest quality of play ever. There were some new faceses also, which is great!

The Draft

We drafted 4 boosters of Leagcies of Blood, 2 boosters of Thrid Edidtion and 1 booster of Ebony Kingdom.

Andreas Thomasson won the draft on higher seed.

Andreas Thomasson (Guhuri /w ABO and guhuri are the land) 2vp ->
Hugh Angseesing (Lucian the Perfect /w ABO) 0vp ->
Bea Düring (Weenies) 1vp ->
Alex Ek (Kysid SnB /w Anarchist uprising) 0vp ->
Isak Bjärmark Esbjörnsson (Saulot and Kisyd SnB) 2vp ->

The ECQ

Congratuatlions to Erik Torstensson for winning the Swedish ECQ for the third time in a row, notable feat.

The final were exciting to watch. I think three vampires died due to Mind Rape and Nana Buruku, pentex, information highway among other cards got contested during the course of the game. At one point it been viable for Magnus to self oust, force a 2-2-1 split which would have given him the win. The game played out "normally" though.

At the bottom of the I've included all the finalists decks.

Magnus Karlström (Bridges is Vignes)2vp ->
Henrik Klippström (Gothrape)0vp ->
Michael Holmström (Kisyd /w masters)0vp ->
Erik Torstensson (Girls will find aids)3vp ->
Ivan Marin-Rivas (Na nana na)0vp ->


Hope to seed you for next years GothCon!

The 6th place deck was another liquidation/ashur tablets deck too

Thanks alot for the organization, the games were really awesome.

I think Henrik mindraped me since I totally brainfarted and influenced on the wrong vampire mid-game. I think that great move cost me the chance for the win in the end .


/Ivan

Congratulations to Erik for winning with this deck.

Regarding the finalists decks, I'd add 2 Storage Annexes in the Kyazid one. Just for Ashur's screwing.
