Zillah's Tears II - The Return (Vantaa, Finland) Event Report + TWD

Tournament: Zillah's Tears II - The Return
Event Calendar link: www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9079
Date: Sunday 20th of January 2019
Place: ZILLA, Kielotie 14 01300 Vantaa, Finland
Players: 19
Format: Constructed, 3R+F
Organizer&Head Judge: Teemu Pulkkinen
Winner: Jani Malmi (see below for deck list)

Finnish VTES tournament year kicked off last weekend with 19 Methuselahs participating furious battles in Vantaa. It was terrific to have so many people come by so we could run a full tournament rather than just go with 2 preliminary rounds.

After hours of fighting, drinking and eating, when the dust had settled, the final table of the tournament looked like this:
Jani Malmi (5th seat) Salubri antitribu combat
Antti Penttilä (1st seat) Sha-Ennu bleed
Marko Saari (2nd seat) Montano Baltimore Purge
Tommi Hakomaa (3rd seat) Cybele & Aksinya Daclau bleed
Otso Saariluoma (4th seat) Nana Buruku Anarch Revolt

The final got off to a wild start with plenty of Anarch Revolts on the table. At the end game, Tommi had got 1 VP and Jani had 2 VPs, so when 1 minute was left on the game clock Tommi conceded and Jani was declared the winner of the tournament. Full transcript of the final round can be found below as an attachment.



Last but not least, here is Jani's winning deck list. Thank you all once again for participating and I hope to see you all again next time in Zillah's Tears III!

Deck Name: Die By The Blade
Author: Jani Malmi
Description: My latest iteration of !Salubri. I had never even tried !Salubris before the release of Castiel, which is the main vampire I want in this deck. Combat grinder, flaming blades of Bellona and you can be sure that your cause is Righteous. Ps. Deck name comes from the new song from Beast in Black.
