I'm afraid not. We are looking into this for future $5K events, though.

I didn't go, but I heard 5 Jund decks made top 8 and the entire top 8 chopped the prizes and got $525 each.

| On the Legacy side, I didn't see the whole Top 8, but I know that Ken Adams made it with B/G Dark Depths. He smashed me in rd 5. CPhil also made it, playing Belcher. |

Surprising in this age of instant gratification I can't seem to find any detailed info on the results.
I too anxiously await the Type II results. Jund & Vampires galore is my prediction.

Tuesday Nights: STD Open Practice

Always up for trading. (Otherwise I can't afford to play)
PM me if your up for some STD play testing on other days during the week.
I'll be glad to drive to RIW or anywhere else fairly close to Westland. Lack of tournament STD play test buddies SUUUUUCKS. |
