Decks in Finals in 2019

Hi folks,

As for the year 2019, I tried to put together all tournament reports (posted here on vekn.net or on extrala's blog "vtesone", maybe with one or two exceptions) that provided information not only about the winning deck but also about the other finalists' decks. (Finnish reports are usually very good in doing so, so special thanks for that!)

My "Decks in Finals 2019" survey is far from being complete and it misses consistancy in giving a specific deck the same name (since I took over the names given in the reports in most cases), but it will allow you to draw some conclusions.

Enjoy!

Nice job!!! Thanks...

Dear fellow methuselahs,

I did my best to sort my "Decks in Finals 2019" survey by clan (or whatever grouping seemed helpful, e. g. Black Hand or multi-clan MMPA stealth bleed).

Of course mistakes are possible, since only little information was provided most of the times.
Thus sometimes I had to guess the correct clan (or grouping).
Or sometimes a deck addressed to a specific clan might be built (up to 50:50) of the antitribu Clan as well, which can happen especially with Malkavian or Tremere decks.
Etc.

Nevertheless: Enjoy!

Spoiler: The clan with the most entries in this survey is Harbinger of Skulls with 29 out of 325 decks, of which at least 25 decks are Emerald Legionnaire decks.

Are all of the deck entries in the latest list single entries, or are some marked twice, for example both in Baali and MMPA if eligible?

Anyways, fantastic work! And this shows how useful it can be to have a standardized finals report form and what should be included:

- 1. for winner and 2. for others at the start of the row
- deck info: clan(s) if applicable, general type (bleed/vote/etc), secondary type (MMPA/weenie/etc)
- player name
- seed (1st, 2nd, etc)
- points got in finals if any

2. Baali bleed MMPA Hutizilopochtli, Jane Doe, 3rd seed, 1vp

Standardization makes analyses like these easier. It is of course not a perfect science, nor should it be, but it would still help.

Also, we still don't have all event reports include all finalist decks, only the winner. It should be made almost mandatory, in my opinion, to report the whole final table.

Single entries only.

But of course some players (among them a few from Finland) appear more than once with the same deck, since they made it into a final with it several times.
