So there you have it. I'd say this tourney was a distinct success. The decks were pretty interesting, especially a couple of them, and the tourney worked out rather well. For the next one I'm thinking of running a format which doesn't allow any instants or sorceries. You can only use artifacts, enchantments, creatures and lands. I might even limit it to creatures and lands, it depends on what everyone else wants to do. We're going to do this BYOS tourney first though. This is futureistic talk now. The next step is getting more people interested.

I was impressed with Sass's deck which he built himself. I don't think anyone gave him help on that deck, and I'm looking forward to what he cooks up for Choose your own Standard.

All around everyone had great decks, If I can find more people interested in Choose your Own Standard I'll get them, but it hasta be soon, if school ends all my friends go back home!
