Praxis Seizure: Hilversum
Held in Hilversum, the Netherlands
On april 24, 2010

20 participants attended the tournament

Format was Constructed, 3 rounds + final.

Tournament won by Izaak Havelaar.

Tournament winning deck:

Deck Name: A Knight, a Crusader and an Artist

Crypt: (13 cards, Min: 4, Max: 23, Avg: 3,38)
---------------------------------------------
5 Anarch Convert none 1 Caitiff
1 Creamy Jade aus cel PRE vic5 Toreador
Antitribu
2 Jost Werner ani AUS PRE 6 Toreador

1 Lolita for pre 3 Toreador

1 Remilliard AUS pre 4 Toreador

1 Sabrina aus cel pre 4 Toreador

1 Sheila Mezarin AUS cel for PRE6 Toreador
Antitribu

// I had awful crypt draws in the preliminaries with me drawing all 5
Converts in the first 6 crypt cards in one game and only one Convert
in the first seven in the other two games. In the finals I actually
had a really good draw, so it can work. Some number tweaking is
probably in order. //

Library: (75 cards)
-------------------
Master (13 cards)
1 Anarch Free Press, The
1 Anarch Railroad
3 Blood Doll
2 Dreams of the Sphinx
4 Palla Grande
1 Pentex Subversion
1 Powerbase: Los Angeles

// I never needed Anarch Railroad, but the Free Press came in handy
quite a few times. I was considering to drop the Blood Dolls
altogether and in retrospect I should have. An extra Dreams and a few
Washes or Suddens would have helped greatly. //

Action (27 cards)
4 Entrancement
23 Undue Influence

// The Dutch meta has been loaded with allies for a while so I figured
Entrancement would be a safe bet. As it turned out, I didn’t see a
single ally and mostly discarded them. 23 Undue Influence was a tad
bit too high. Should go down to 19 or 20. //

Action Modifier (7 cards)
7 Power of One

Reaction (22 cards)
3 Delaying Tactics
4 My Enemy`s Enemy
5 On the Qui Vive
5 Telepathic Misdirection
5 Wake with Evening`s Freshness

// This worked perfectly for me. My Enemy’s Enemy was intended more as
intercept than as bounce and it did its job perfectly. Two or so more
wakes wouldn’t be bad though, as I usually had to fully tap out
playing Undue Influence to keep pressure on my preys and get enough
“transfers” to be able to user my regular transfers to move crypt
cards to the uncontrolled region //

Combat (6 cards)
3 Majesty
3 Staredown

For a first tournament in Hilversum, I would like to add that it was a
great experience. 20 folks attending is something we can be proud of
here in the Netherlands, and no less than 4 new players were
participating in their very first tournament this day!

Also, the location turned out everything we hoped it to be, and more!

In short, I hope to be able to organize many more tournaments for
Hilversum in the future.

Thanks to all for attending, and making it a great day.

Thanks, Tobias! Long time...

How's Amersfoort? I'll be moving to there in about one week from now...

[tobiasopdenbr...@notsocoldmail.com]

Really? Does that mean we could play? Man, there's lots of dust on
those cards. :)

Amersfoort is great. Mail me, and we'll talk details.

Hey, I had almost forgotten about that skirt. Gotta look around for it
now!
