KuukkaCon 2.3.2013 - 42 players

[Tiggupiru]

Five rounds of swiss, no top8. Very sizeable HL tournament considering this was just a one attraction in a convention with a GPT and PTQ tossed into the mix.

Metagame was full of RDW, few Zoo players here and there and the rest seemed to be scattered. I might get more info from the organizers later on about this.

[pyyhttu]

Metagame was full of RDW, few Zoo players here and there and the rest seemed to be scattered. I might get more info from the organizers later on about this.

While waiting for that, standings were published at http://www.faemiyah.fi/kuukkacon/highlander with some nice coverage pictures. My favorite: http://www.faemiyah.fi/kuukkacon/photos/index.php/Lander/Landerv2-22.jpg?action=big&size=resize&fromthumbnail=true <-- dredge in action, with active Nezumi Graverobber on the other side of the table.

And this tournament can also be found from http://mtgpulse.com/event/12372#173214

Sadly, that picture is from a casual game. That dredge deck didn't compete on the tournament. Picture is awesome as ever, though.
