Mark Loughman's Tournament Winning Deck 3 VPs in the Finals
Deck Name : Traditional Princess
Author : Mark Loughman
Description : I re-tooled my Carna deck after KoT came out.
Eyes of Argus is _SO_ efficient for this scheme that I was
able to slide in a touch more combat (Rego Mortus). I also
went to 4 Smiling Jacks. A first turn Jack means I don't have
to worry about a time out at the table. Ponticulus is also very cool.

This was the tournament with the 2 hour preliminary rounds 2.5 hour
final to which some newsgroup readers took exception. The additional
time in the final did make a difference. The players took their time,
joked, and laughed. At the 2 hour point in the final round Evan Lloyd
had 2 VPs and Mark had 1. Tweleve minutes later, Mark had 3 to Evan's
2. The finalists were reminded of the extra time before the game. I
heard no complaints from them on that subject either before or after
the final round.

for what it's worth, I've always been a fan of that method of time
allocation (3x2hr + 2.5), where venue bookings can accommodate it. Glad
to hear it worked out for you guys.

Ok, so that's now FOUR Ohio players that no longer have to play
silly +5 intercept decks.
You got all that? Thanks. :)
