2017 Deal Me In Games Championship Series Report

[Khahan]

First I want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank Blood aka Jason Koresko for all the support he gave the Vintage community in 2017. Running a series every other month, working his schedule to make sure we had a weekend for a full series, prize support and finally out of his own funds he gave prize support for the championship series.

Next I'd like to thank every single magic player who made it out to even 1 of our events in 2017. It was a great year for Vintage in our area. This thread is already going to be long enough so I wont repost the point totals from 2017. I'll just throw up a link to our December event and let you all look at the final standings there. If you see somebody's name in that thread, thank them for supporting our community in 2017. And if you know somebody in the community and dont see their name in that list, then tell them all about us so they can join the fun for 2018.

Now, without further ado here are the results of the 2017 Deal Me In Games Championship series:

Round 1 quarter finals

As has often been the case in the past I question Jeremy Beaver's deck choice.

Also Joe has proven you can't fuck shops, too many burrs and metal splinters.
