I just arrived at the NAC room this afternoon and things are getting underway for the special Black Miracle and Lies storyline tournament. The room is filling up fast, with around 30 players in it currently - hopefully we'll reach the 40 mark for the tournament!
I wasn't there yesterday but was told that Greg Williams won the third Mini-Q with a weird Nephandus/Assamite-Khabar Leadership deck (!). Maybe someone who was there would be able to provide more details. :-)
For those reading this who weren't sure if they would come play, I can assure you that things look absolutely kick-ass from here. Lots of people from lots of places, friendly games lasting until 4:30 in the morning - everything the NAC is supposed to be!

Here's Greg winning deck for the third Mini-Q of Wednesday.
DECK NAME: Children of the Damned
DESCRIPTION/NOTES: The idea here is simple. Pull out 2 or 3 Assamites and Antonio d'Erlette. Use the Assamites for Haquims Law along with Ascendence (Yes! Ascendence) to bloat. Play Powerbase: Tshwane to reduce the cost of Nephandus Mage's (THIS WORKS WITH ANTONIO's ABILITY!!!). Then pull out Nephandus mages every turn and bleed, bleed, bleed. Right now the only defense from stealing the Nephadus is intercept, so, adding in some Direct Interventions, etc. may be necessary if your Metagame calls for it. The Boston metagame has only minimal Ally stealing. If you are lucky to get the Heart of Nizchetus, cycle all the Nephadus to the bottom of the deck.
I was lucky to win the Sherbrooke Mini Qualifier Montreal Canada Oct. 22, 2008. The finals had another Antonio/Nephandus deck. I actually chose to be his prey because his predator was a heavy blled deck. I gambled that I could bloat and survive long enough to build up some defense. My gamble paid off and was able to take the table.
