      Yesterday, we returned for the second part of the Romancing The Stones series. After announcing the event a little bit late, we were thrilled to have 17 players duking it out at Austin Beerworks. This time, we were battling for cash and a Mox Jet playmat.

      After 5 rounds of swiss, our standings were:

      1. Patrick Vincent: Paradoxical Mentor
      2. Stuart Ziarnik: Bargain Storm
      3. Brian Tweedy: Inferno Oath
      4. Sam Katz: Paradoxical Mentor
      5. Johnny Angulo: UR Delver
      6. Chris Huckabee: Punishing Oath
      7. David Mallett: Team Leovold
      8. Ian Files: RUG Walkers
      9. Jack Belingrath: Bargain Storm
      10. Rob Connolly: Moon Stompy
      11. TJ Boyd: Blue Stew
      12. Ian Jefferies: Tezzeret Workshop Combo Insanity
      13. Jacob Zernick: 5C Humans
      14. Woodrow Bogucki: Paradoxical Storm
      15. Matt Bock: Grixis Thieves
      16. Alex Tune: 5C Humans
      17. Joel Peabody: Welder Shenanigans

      So, a much different meta than last time! Specifically, no Shops or Eldrazi - what the hell type of format is this?!

      The top 4 played it out, with Patrick Vincent eventually toppling Brian Tweedy in the finals . . .

      And thus, our top 4 for Romancing The Stones pt II was:

      1. Patrick Vincent: Paradoxical Mentor
      2. Brian Tweedy: Inferno Oath
        3/4. Stuart Ziarnik: Bargain Storm
        3/4. Sam Katz: Paradoxical Mentor

      A heinous picture of our Top 4:

      There's more than one insane Paradox card in Kaladesh:

      Woodrow, seconds before discovering that the Paradoxical deck he was borrowing didn't have outs to hatebears:

          @bscheidemann Hell yeah. There were also some sweet Scheidemann-brand proxies in attendance. Hope you’re able to make it out next time.

            Patrick was excited to show off his winning deck, so here it is along with his 1st place playmat:
