Xtreme Games (Lindenhurst, IL, USA) hosted their monthly Vintage tournament on 05/23/2015, and below you can find the Top 8 decklists, as well as a brief metagame breakdown of all decks played.



There were a very good spread of decks that showed up this month, including all of the usual suspects, a return of Oath to the Top 8, as well as new back to back Xtreme Games Vintage winner Tommy Kolowith’s new 4C Control variant, utilizing Deathrite Shaman and zero basic lands.

Top 4 Playoff

Note: With 16 players 5 rounds of Swiss were played, with a cut to Top 4 to encourage more rounds actually being played out (and fewer draws), which worked well. The play/draw rule for the Top 4 was in effect, and the store still paid out to the Top 8.

Semifinals

1 Tommy Kolowith (4C Control) vs. 4 Chris Nighbor (Dredge) – Kolowith wins 2-1

2 Danny Friedman (Mentor Remora URW) vs. 3 Jason Jaco (Workshop Forgemaster) – Jaco wins 2-0

Finals

1 Tommy Kolowith (4C Control) vs. 3 Jason Jaco (Workshop Forgemaster) – Kolowith wins 2-1
