Hi folks. There is a shop here in Champion, OH called Bottom Dollar Trading Cards.
They are holding Vintage EW trials on 6/14, starting at 6PM and 6/16, starting at Noon. EW Trials are open to all players. This event will be run with Competitive REL and decklists are required. Rounds will be commensurate with the number of players, with a cut to T8 if 9 or more players. We need to get 8 people per event to fire.
I am not an employee nor do I have any interest in the shop, I'm simply working with the shop to put this on. The primary thing is to get some byes for locals, since most of all the trials are on the East Coast.
With that in mind, the tentative plan is $10 entry w/ no prize payout. With the minimum 8, it basically just covers the cost the shop has to pay to Card Titan, so you are just paying for the chance at a bye. If there is an unexpectedly high turn out, there may be additional payout.

Bumps! Right now I'm good to go but I'm still tentative. Anyone else making it out?
@moorebrother1 New Shaman Ben Event at RIW is posted for the 13th. Same day as TSO in Sandusky, but good news for the RIW crew! Not sure there is a TMD thread, but this is the FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/505086766646714/ @Shaman-Ben
@cleverpseudonym I’ve tried mentor and can sometimes be very powerful. But the deck positions itself in a way that you need to win that turn or next attack step with BSC.
Most times, the monk and his tokens I found could not win/prevent me from dying.
@moorebrother1 cool! That pilot is, I believe, the originator of the previous incarnation of the deck, Aperture Science.
Main deck looks pretty similar amongst the lists. I think the side board is interesting.
I can’t usually play in the challenge but I can see why this deck might do better in a bigger field than the leagues; probably less so if it is a known quantity.
