Lucky Top Deck Series 1 Tournament Report | Lucky Top Deck

Finally, the Netherlands was the stage of it’s first paper cEDH tournament. Held in the beautiful LGS Het Spellenhuis, in the center of Haarlem on the 3^rd of June.

People playing

The tournament structure was 4 swiss rounds of 90 minutes and a cut to top 4. A shout out to topdeck and their Command Tower application which made the registrations and pairing a breeze.

Our price support was €10 for every swiss win, because every victory matters. And for the top 4 we had an additional prize pool of €160.

We had all seats filled with 32 excited players and we were super happy to see that even players from Germany and Belgium joined the competition. It was clear that cEDH community is still growing and we welcomed players from other format as well. We kicked of the first round just before noon.

For us as organizers it was amazing to see how much laughing and relaxed talking was going during the matches. The vibe continued throughout the entire day, after a quick win some pods just continued friendly games. And even after the event, there were still people playing. The last match finished perfectly in time and after 4 rounds we had a clean cut to top 4.

The Final

In turn 4 Marc managed to sneak through a Filter Out to clear the board of all fishes and cast his commander Jhoira, for the fourth(!) time. That gave him enough gas to setup a Breach line at which point the opponents offered their handshakes in concession.
