Complete BoM 4 Metagame Breakdown | Fri, 02. Jul 2010 12:18 | By Cesar Fernandez:
"We are proud, again, to present you the Complete Metagame Breakdown and Tournament Analysis of the Bazaar of Moxen 4 Vintage Main Event, the 347 people Vintage event. The biggest Vintage tournament of the year all over the world.
This is the complete metagame breakdown and tournament analysis of the 347 player Bazaar of Moxen 4 Vintage Main Event that took place a month ago in the city of Annecy, in France. The biggest Vintage Tournament of the year, and the most important of the european Vintage scene.
Intro
In the Legacy focused BoM analysis I gave much more importance to the numbers than to the analysis, but this being the most important Vintage event of the year all over the world, I thought that some analysis would also help people to understand the tournament and the format. This article took me longer and harder than the Legacy one because I did something that I didn’t for the first one, I analysed some of the most important points of every deck. If you click in a Spoiler named [Card Choices Useful Information] in any deck’s analysis and breakdown you’ll find choices such as powered/unpowered, Null Rod use, Number of Spheres, Trinisphere, Robot choice, Draw Engine choice, Oath creatures choice, Jace use, and every counterspell used by a controlish deck… and more important, its combination."
