1st Open Penedès: Report and pics

The 1s Open Penedès came and went, a total of 11 players battled for the You Have No Power Here playmat in three vibrant rounds and a top 4.

The event, organized by Tirada Enfrontada took place at the Minoria Absoluta Rock Bar in Vilafranca del Penedès (around 40km from Barcelona in Spain) and members of the local comunity, the Liga Catala de Old School, the Basque guys form El Oráculo del Norte, and the Black Knight of Legion Urborg from Switzerland.

Ismael won fair and square in a vibrant final against Jordi's monoblack deck

Chiki came in third piloting a very effective Erhnamgeddon with all the flavour of the classics and Phy followed with a version of a BRG discard.

The rest of the decks, in order are as follow:

There a couple decks pending but as soon as we get them the post will be updated :)

Special thanks to the El Oráculo del Norte crew who provided amazing 3D printed triskelion head tokens for every player!

Gotta mention that after the swiss round raffle took place and the prices were distributed according to luck, blind pick from last classified to first, some of the pics are scandalously blurry but bear me here (pics of the cards added when available):

Valenti picked first and pulled an amazing alter donated by Phy, the Swiss player (the stamped card was part of the welcome pack for every player as are the tokens)

Francesc managed to land a nice FWB Sol Ring in German!

Roger landed the first of the VERY local alters, an elf with a barretina (traditional catalan cap)

Crístian got a very nice Braingeyser for all his draw purposes and needs

Hardschool picked the surprise card and landed the star of the show, a 3D printed handpainted Triskelion deckbox, sculpted by Thatcaddad on 3dcults

Nico picked the second alter of the day, with an extremely foggy fog

Basauri will have a proper Nightmare thanks to David

Phy captured a Shivan Dragon!

Jordi picked altered Plague rats

Chiki from took a Strip Mine to Bibao

And finally Ismael picked a Kird Ape dressed as a "casteller de Vilafranca"

Easter Tournament at the Rotary Pub

 It happened, in Sweden, at the pub were the Old School MTG tournaments where happening a long time ago, where the original N00bcon was played for many years.

So out of respect for the place and the history it held on regards to Old School magic we had to desecrate it. Out of love mind you.

Hence the Easter at the Rotary tournament happened, where a bunch of secretly recruited players battled head on with their piles of cardboard.

First of all, the prize, the BIG ONE, signed in all it's glory. The easter brass man!

Then the winning deck, that made sure to pack A LOT of Derelors, the spicy four four for four that Fallen Empires brought to the table:

A pic from another of the contestants, who took the reprint (or preprint in this case) policy to heart! Watch those very rounded corners (DAYUM)

Keep in mind, the games were cutthroat, no quarter given or expected! Truly disgusting moves took place and honestly, that's why we love MTG!

So easter went by, a Brass Man was delivered and as it happened once it will happen again.

Overprinted Wall of Shame

 This entry here is like the evergreen wording on cards, will be here forever and will be updated as more and more illegal cards are played or tried to be played at an Overprinted tournament (casual play is none of our bussiness after all XD).

But guys seriously, check the legal list, if you don't know what cards where printed on Revised, Fallen Empires, 4th edition or Chronicles... Heres a comprehensive list, if you look for it an it's not there it's not legal!

Overprinted International Invitational Tournament 2025

 Another year another Overprinted tournament!

We ended 2025 on a high note regarding overprinted, with the 2nd International Invitational Tournament organized by Chiki.

14 players from around almost any community battled their wits out until only one emerged as the supreme champion of the year!

That is... after some frugal lunch to better use our brains!

We saw all manners of decks, different approaches to Erhnamgeddon, Pink Weenie, Mono Black discard, Reanimator, Mono red Goblins… You name it!

This years winner, Joserra, played a ruthless deck and made an overall 12 points outta 12. See him here holding the prized Brass Man!

Second place was for Guille and his deck, as we think it was a beautfil deck, well rounded and masterfully played!

Here are some other decks that delighted us with old strategies given a new twist:

And with that said and the tournament finally over... till next year!

PS: Yes we noticed some illegal cards on the pics but these were taken beforehand and everything was fixed before we started ;)
