MobstercoM 2020

So MobstercoM has come and gone, and I think it can only be considered a great success. 69 total players is the best possible number of players. The whole thing was streamed by TimmyTalks. We had a fitting winner, and (most importantly) the tourney started and ended on time.

Oh, we also raised just over $2000 for Campaign Zero (which Jamie Parke generously matched for Recidiviz), for a total of $4000 raised! Thank you all so much! The generosity of our community continues to amaze me.

Many many (MANY) thanks go out to Mattias Berggren (Slanfan), Florian “FloVo” von Bredow, Thomas Meddens, and Richard Veenman. This would not have been possible without your efforts, I owe you 1 (or 2 or 8…) Also thanks to my guest commentators: Chris Mason, Dom Dotterer, Jon Finkel, Ben Farkas, Lan D. Ho, and Carter Petray. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Here is the top 15 (all the 5-2’s or better). Complete standings can be found here:

Brother of Fire Ben Twichen won the day in every sense of the word, going 7-0 with decks featuring Mesa Pegasus, Healing Salve, Pestilence, Deathlace, Northern Palladin, Hellfire, and BLACK WARD. He and I spoke in depth about the tourney on an ATC episode here.

Brother Ben

I would also like to congratulate Andy Callaghan for joining Ben in the dual threat camp (for high finishers playing spicy decks.) He went 5-2 with decks featuring Spitting Slug, Immolation, Stone Giant, and Ashnod’s Transmogrant:

Also congrats to Jeff Grasso for playing the most Savannahs with 12!

Jeff Grasso

I will try to send out some prizes for all this stuff, but it might not be for a little while, so be patient.

Given the feedback I have been getting, the format seems to have legs, and I could see this being a thing going forward. Thanks again to everyone who helped out, and of course to everyone who played!
