Well it's time for another one of my shitty tourney reports.  There was 77
people at the tournament including the local canadians that showed up for
the qualifier (radonjic, lau, tsang, etc.).  The regular seattle crowd
wasn't playing (suver, wilson, garavito, or justice).  There was five
members of team Los Bastardos there Jeff Curry, Dave Lawson, John Rider,
Lance Conrad, and I (Justin Rider). Bob a friend of ours from tri-cities
was also there.  We all looked at each others decks and evaluated who had
the best deck.  we decided that Lance's deck was very strong backed with an
inferno and fireblast as finishers.  John had the shittiest of the team.
My deck was shit so I'll tell you who I played for reference only.
Kevin Pettinger 2-1 games 1-0 match
Mike Clara 0-2, 1-1
Jeff Vogel 1-2, 1-2 (i'm now thinking I should of stayed home)
Mike Glaser 2-0, 2-2
Morgan Schweers 1-1-1, 2-2-1
Lance Conrad 1-2, 2-3-1 (my teammate whooped me)
Tara Wheeler 2-0, 3-3-1
I will focus the report on how my brother John did his deck was as follows:
1 Warthog
1 ironroot trefolk
1 river boa
1 llanowar elves
1 scryb sprite
1 war mammoth
1 infantry veteran
1 tundra wolves
1 mesa pegasus
2 knight of valor
1 wall of spears
1 brass-talon chimera
1 battering ram
1 aladdin's ring
1 parapet
1 COP:green (standard baby)
1 warrior's honor
1 serra bestiary
1 death ward
1 skull catapult
1 spider climb
1 hurricane
1 feral instinct
1 ruins of trokair
1 undiscovered paradise
1 dwarven hold
7 forests
6 plains
Board
1 repentant blacksmith
1 shrink
1 COP:white

John started the day by going 3-0 in matches and lost his fourth match to
Ryan Fuller from canada because of a math mistake on John's part.  A lot of
people talked about this match all day.  In the first game Ryan cast a Lord
of the pit and started trash-talking about how he was going to whoop him.
John made some smart ass remark as he cast a Serra Bestiary on the Lord, Uh
game over.  John had the highest tie-brekers in his pioint braket all day.
But his luck ran out in the last round of swiss.  He ended the day at 4-3
when he would of made top 8 at 5-2.  Not bad for having the worst deck on
the whole team.  The other team members ended up as follows:
Justin 3-3-1
Lance 3-4
Jeff 3-2-1 (dropped after the sixth round)
Dave 4-3
John 4-3
John and Jeff both started the day at 3-0 and went down hill after that.
Oh well if anyone knows who won e-mail me and let me know.
