After a lengthy delay, we are proud to belatedly bring you the results of the inaugural Eternal Central Old School 93-94 Tournament, held at Eternal Weekend 2014 in Philadelphia (PA, USA). You’ll find pairings, standings, decks, and action shots below. Enjoy!



Held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Philadelphia Center City, the tournament was split between the pool area and one of the hotel rooms with beverages. After a few cancellations we had 12 souls bring the oldest Magic cards to battle, for glory and honor. And also for a few sweet prizes, shown below. We played 4 Swiss rounds, untimed, with no draws allowed (intentional or otherwise). The tournament ran smoothly and quickly.
