We did it! We hosted 33 Old School magicians for a one-day, 6-round webcam tournament. We sent $350 to the Ottawa Food Bank, earmarked for COVID-19 relief.
We really appreciate those who took the time to play in the event as we adjust to our new normal.
I can’t say the event went without hiccups. We were planning on using Wizards’ event software and it turns out some features were locked, so we scrambled to find a solution before the tournament started. Between that, and a few technical difficulties as people got used to their setups, we had a late start. Thank you for not giving us too much of a hard time about it.
Deck representation
Some note-worthy observations:
- Atog was the most represented deck (4), with all decks in the top half of standings, including 2 in Top 8.
- BR Dreams Combo and Reanimator were the second-most represented, with 3 players each.
- There were 2 copies in Reanimator in Top 8.
- Dreams decks didn’t perform well, with all of them in the bottom 25%.
- The Deck, UR Counterburn and Mono Black, Old School usual suspects, were not represented.
Prizes
![](https://www.ottawaoldschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_3134_fixed-1024x331.jpg)
We had prize cards for most creative and first through fourth. In addition, the person in first place could choose between an altered Unlimited Icy Manipulator or $33 in store credit at Multizone.ca. Second place would get the other. In addition, the best performing unpowered deck would get a set of Capital Chaos Power 9 proxies. Our prize recipients are:
- Most Creative – Yannick B with Poisonous Lands
- Best Unpowered – Pascal P with Mono U Aggro (21st in Swiss)
- 1st Place – Mark E with Esper Reanimator (Unlimited Icy Manipulator)
- 2nd Place – Eric DC with Initiates of the Juzam Hand ($33 at Multizone)
- 3rd Place – Drew L with Bant Midrange
- 4th Place – Will M with UWR CopyAtog
Drew and Mark faced off in the final round as the sole 5-0s, but despite that, Eric edged ahead on breakers by 0.05% on the third tie-breaker (opponent game percentage?).
